forgery, because of the misinterpretations and insertions in later transcribed versions of the original document, which has now been lost. In contrast, historian Géza Érszegi accepted the document as authentic, arguing it was written when Boleslaus was still alive, but was sealed by the monarch only a year later, in 1214, because the assassination of Queen Gertrude delayed and prevented the consecration of the monastery still in that year. Érszegi refuted some of Erdélyi's argument, who claimed the charter contains numerous anachronistic elements, for instance Andrew's heir Béla was referred to as king. However, as Érszegi emphasized, the eight-year-old Béla was crowned as junior king (rex iunior) by some lords, who opposed Andrew's policy, in the same year, and Andrew was forced to acknowledge it. Andrew's charter does not refer to Boleslaus as founder of the provostry. Its establishment was a lengthy process with series of land donations. This culminated into the 1214 establishing charter. According to the document, Boleslaus donated and bequeathed large-scale landholdings in Zemplén – Királyhelmec (Kráľovský Chlmec), Kisdobra (Dobrá), Pólyán (Poľany), Csernyő (Čierna), Kisgéres (Malý Horeš), Agárd, Vajdácska –, Szabolcs (Kanyár) and Ung – Nagykapos (Veľké Kapušany), Kiskapos, Sislóc, Lakárd (Lekárovce), Trask, Szalóka and Viszoka (Vysoká nad Kysucou) – counties to the newly established convent continuously since the early 1190s, which acts were confirmed by Andrew II in a single document, in accordance with contemporary tradition to avoid later possible disagreements. The monastery of Lelesz, dedicated to the Holy Cross, was consecrated by Katapán, the Bishop of Eger in 1214. The provostry became one of the most important places of authentication in Northeast Hungary, which operated in this function until the 16th century. Confrontation with King Emeric Following the death of Béla III on 23 April 1196, his elder son Emeric succeeded him on the Hungarian throne. Emeric's whole reign was characterized by his struggles for the supreme power against his rebellious younger brother, Duke Andrew, who used the funds that he inherited from his father to recruit supporters among the Hungarian lords (for instance, Palatine Mog and Ban Nicholas), instead of leading a crusade to the Holy Land in accordance with his vow on Béla's deathbed. As Emeric suspected, Boleslaus and his brother, Elvin were leading partisans of Andrew, who supported his efforts, alongside other prelates, for instance John, the Bishop of Veszprém and Kalán Bár-Kalán, while other bishops (for instance, Saul Győr, Ugrin Csák
