Life
Zoltan of Eger appears in a single encyclopedic note, in Polish, as an itinerant preacher from Eger in Hungary, who died around 1022. I found no second source to confirm it, nor any evidence of canonization, so what is said of him remains uncertain.
The note presents him as a descendant of Arpad who was ordained after King Stephen I founded the see of Eger in 1009, then preached among the pagan peoples of the east and died as a martyr.
