Life

He originated from the Transdanubian branch of the gens Kaplon (or Kaplony) as the son of Martin (Márton), ispán of Vas County. He served as canon of Székesfehérvár from 1226 to 1236. After the death of bishop Bartholomew he was the chapter then provost of Veszprém. He was elected bishop of Veszprém in 1245, however King Béla IV refused to recognize the appointment, because Zlaudus did not ask for his endorsement.

Zlaudus built the Tátika Castle in the Keszthely Mountain, near Zalaszántó. That was one of the first private castles in the Kingdom of Hungary. He left his fortune to the Roman Catholic Church, however his genus acquired the castle.

gollark: You could say "apioform" or "utter apioform".
gollark: Demoting gollark is actually illegal.
gollark: I think it's roughly normally distributed.
