As palatine, Rado donated some land estates to the Abbey of Szávaszentdemeter (Latin: Sirmium; today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia) in 1057. He died in that same year. Later his widow, Lucia commemorated her orphaned relatives in a charter.[2]
His name is Slavic.[3] It is possible that Rado was a descendant of Gabriel Radomir, a son of Bulgar Emperor Samuel (r. 997–1014).[3]
