He was appointed to the position sometime after 1089 or 1090, since his predecessor Julius is last mentioned in this capacity from those years.[1] Peter's name appears only in the establishing charter of the Somogyvár Abbey in 1091.[2] It is possible he is identical with that comes [palatinus?] Peter, who – alongside Marcellus – was sent by the ailing Ladislaus to Poland in order to negotiate with Sieciech, the deputy of Duke Władysław I Herman in the summer of 1095. The Hungarian delegation invited the king's exiled nephew Coloman back from Poland to become his heir.[3]
