 As Pat never held court positions thereafter, historian Attila Zsoldos considers, he was a leading figure of a group of influential noblemen who was plotting to dethrone Andrew and crown his eldest son, the eight-year-old Béla, but they failed to dethrone him and could only force Andrew to consent to Béla's coronation in 1214.Since members of the kindred's next generation never gained such influence as their fathers, therefore Zsoldos argues that Pat, the last living son of Stephen I, has finally become disgraced for his participation in the 1214 coup attempt.Zsoldos emphasizes Pat's son-in-law Pousa Bár-Kalán functioned as Judge royal in 1222, when his pro-Emeric baronial group forced Andrew II to issue the Golden Bull of 1222.
