Concordat of 1169

The Concordat of 1169 was an agreement between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Papal States, signed by Stephen III of Hungary and Cardinal Manfred of Lavagna, the papal legate of Pope Alexander III in Veszprém or Esztergom in 1169.

Taking advantage of Hungary's difficult foreign policy situation, which in the previous years was embroiled in a war with neighboring Byzantine Empire, the pope persuaded Stephen III to agree to a concordat much more favorable to him, overriding the 1161 agreement that provided the Hungarian monarch with wide ecclesiastical government concessions.
