in the years 1233–1234. Still in that year (1228), Denis was dismissed from his position and replaced by Mojs, a confidant of Duke Béla. Three years later, Denis was restored to his position in 1231, which indicated that by conducting possession inspections the king intended to return to his old policy. Around that time, Archbishop Robert made a complaint about Andrew to the Roman Curia, because the king continued to employ Jews and Muslims despite his former conflict with the Holy See over the issue. Pope Gregory IX authorized the archbishop to perform acts of religious censure to persuade Andrew to dismiss his non-Christian officials. Under duress, Andrew issued a new Golden Bull in 1231, which confirmed that Muslims were banned from employment, and empowered the Archbishop of Esztergom to excommunicate the king if he failed to honor the provisions of the new Golden Bull. The document also determined the jurisdiction of the dignity of palatine: "[...] And the palatine should judge all men without distinction, except ecclesiastical persons and clergy, as well as matrimonial and religious matters and other ecclesiastical [related] matters, which at any address appear to be subject to ecclesiastical investigation." Historian Tibor Szőcs considers the emphasis on this was perhaps a kind of "lex Dionisii" because of Denis' previous conflicts with the church administration. During his second term as palatine, Denis usually judged over lawsuits in Transdanubia, for instance Nyitra, Pest, Sopron, Moson and Zala counties. Altogether five palatinal charters issued by Denis were preserved from the time of his two terms (there are four other diplomas issued in 1234 and 1235, but it cannot be decided whether they can be linked to the activity of Denis or his successor of the same forename). Although Andrew pledged to respect the privileges of the clergymen and to dismiss his non-Christian officials in his Golden Bull, he never fulfilled the latter promise. Therefore, Archbishop Robert excommunicated Palatine Denis and other royal advisors (e.g. Master of the treasury Nicholas – a confidant of Denis – and a certain chamberlain Samuel of "Saracen" origin) and put Hungary under an interdict on 25 February 1232, because the employment of Jews and Muslims continued despite the Golden Bull of 1231. According to Robert, Denis "wickedly advocated and defended Saracens and false Christians", while himself committed crimes against the church too. Since the archbishop accused the Muslims of persuading Andrew to seize church
