Benedict Kišdy (Kisdy, Kisdi, Kischdy), bishop of Eger and an important figure in the re-catholicization of north-eastern Hungary, is one of the most important figures in the history of Košice in the early modern period. Kišdy’s most memorable activity was the founding of the University of Košice, which had a long-term impact on the cultural and intellectual development of the city beyond the first intention of its founder, i.e. re-catholicization. The present study analyses the place of Kišdy in historiography from the time of the Jesuits and the possibilities of using the biographical method in the case of Benedict Kišdy. An important role in Kišdy’s life was played by his attitude towards Peter Pázmaň, Jesuits and Franciscans. The theoretical question of Kišdy’s place among the most important personalities in the history of Košice is raised, which is partly answered by the still vivid commemoration and places of remembrance connected with Kišdy.
