On 6 April, Gábor Nemes, Senior Research Fellow of the Fraknói Research Group, appeared on the Hungarian television channel M5 in the history magazine programme História, which focused on Cardinal Tamás Bakócz, Archbishop of Esztergom. Drawing also on the results of his research in the Vatican Archives, Nemes discussed the cardinal’s stay in Rome, his chances in the papal election, and the conclave that ultimately resulted in the election of Pope Leo X. He also addressed the possible intentions behind Pope Leo X’s decision to appoint Bakócz as papal legate.
On the same day, Viktor Kanász, Research Fellow of the Group, gave an interview in Nagykanizsa for Országjáró, a programme broadcast by Kossuth Radio. Based on his research in ecclesiastical and military history, he presented the life of György Thury, captain-general of Kanizsa, the circumstances of his death, and the presumed location of his burial.
