In 870 the Bavarian bishops drafted a file Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum (On conversion of the Bavarians et Carinthians, in short Conversio), in which they described their Christianization activities in the area of Pannonia and Carinthia. The file was created in response to the appointment of Methodius as the archbishop of Pannonia and papal legate for Slavic countries, in which their saw a threat to their jurisdiction and interference in their own interests. We have the only detailed information in this file about the troubled fate of Pribina – the ruler of Nitra. There is stated here that „Archbishop Adalram consecrated for him a church on his own property beyond the Danube in a place called Nitrava“. This figure has already given a rise to lot of considerations and studies, which in many ways remain open to these days. In this context it is necessary to ask for answers, in what ecclesiastical and jurisdictional situation was this consecration happened, in what time period, where it is possible to assume that sacral building and what can be said about their architectonical conception. The following article will try to answer these and other questions.

The letter of the Bavarian episcopate addressed to Pope John IX in 900 is one of the contemporary historical sources testifying to the ninth century Christianisation in the Moravian Principality and the Principality of Nitra. Although the letter describes the existence and practice of Christianity in individual ethnic groups in a subjective way, it also provides some relevant historical information. Such is a mention of the Slavic tribe to which was East Frankish priest Viching appointed a bishop by the Pope. Writers of the letter described the tribe as a recently baptised. The description was intentional in order to supress the demands of the Diocese of Passau for the territory of the Vichingˋs Diocese of Nitra before 880. The article argues that Engelmar, the Bishop of Passau, ceased to demand the territory of the Diocese of Nitra after its foundation.
