Vata Pagan Uprising
The Vata pagan uprising () was a Hungarian rebellion which, in 1046, brought about the overthrow of King Peter Urseolo, the martyrdom of Bishop Gerard of Csanád () and the reinstatement of the Árpád dynasty on the Hungarian throne. Background Christianity had been introduced in Hungary by King Stephen I of Hungary. Upon his death in 1038, he was succeeded by his sororal nephew Peter Urseolo, a Venetian noble. Through tax increases, and Urseolo's involvement with foreign powers, he proved to be an unpopular ruler.

In the years that followed, Aba's reign weakened, likely due to opposition from the church, who disliked his catering to pag ...
