Judge of the Cumans

The judge of the Cumans (Hungarian: kunok bírája or kunbíró; Latin: iudex Cumanorum) was a short-lived legal office, then an ex officio title in the Hungarian royal court, existed since the second half of the 13th century. In 1270, the Palatine of Hungary assumed the dignity and became part of its title to merge the two positions for centuries, during which time Cuman settlers were concentrated into Kunság region.
