John was elected as bishop sometime after 1134, when his last known predecessor Nicholas is mentioned.[1] John's episcopate is mentioned by a single source, a charter of Martyrius, Archbishop of Esztergom from 1156. Accordingly, John was present during the consecration of the parish church of Baratka or Bratka in Bars County (laid near present-day Levice, Slovakia) with three altars.[2]
