Vata (died 1189) was a Hungarian prelate in the second half of the 12th century, who served as Bishop of Várad (present-day Oradea, Romania) from 1186 to 1189.
Vata or Wasca ( Hungarian: Vászka) possibly originated from the gens (clan) Miskolc, according to a record by early 19th-century archivist Márton Lendvay. [1]
According to the diocese's list of bishops (Chartularium), Vata was elected Bishop of Várad by the cathedral chapter in 1186. [1] [2] Boleslaus, Bishop of Vác exchanged Árpád in Bihar County (present-day Arpășel, Romania) for the village of Kanyár in Szabolcs County with Lawrence, abbot of Gyulamonostor (today Mănăstirea, Romania) with the approval of Vata, the reigning bishop. [3] The Chartularium mentions that Vata died in 1189, after three years of episcopate. [1] He was succeeded by Elvin in that year. [2]
