Life

Gyula Kristó's parents were János Kristó, bricklayer of the Csongrád district building company , and Veronika Rostás. After finishing school, initially in Orosháza, Kristó studied between 1957 and 1962 at the humanities faculty of the József Attila University in Szeged. Here he received his diploma in Hungarian history in 1962 and in Latin in 1969. Kristó taught throughout his career at the University of Szeged (from 1962 to 1963, however, he was a teacher at the Radnóti Miklós Gymnasium in Szeged), since 1978 as a professor. From 1982 to 1985 he was rector of the university and dean of the philosophical faculty from 1987 to 1989. Since 1992 he has also been head of the “Szeged Medieval Workshop”, which he had a major influence on. From 1985 to 1995 he was a member of the board of the Hungarian Historical Society. In 1998 Kristó became a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In his works, Kristó deals with topics from a wide variety of areas such as society, the military, settlement and institutional history. His gaze goes from the early days of the ethnic Hungarians (Magyars) to the beginning of the early modern era, with a focus on the Arpad era .
