Achilles (judge royal)

Achilles or Achilleus (died after 1201) was a Hungarian noble, who served as Judge Royal in 1201, during the reign of Emeric, King of Hungary.Markó 2006, p. 268.Zsoldos 2011, p. 28. Beside that he was also ispán of Keve County.Zsoldos 2011, p. 161.

Presumably he was identical with a certain ispán Achilles, who was mentioned in a royal charter issued in 1184, where an investigation took place on the subject of serfs' affiliation in Úrkút.
