MWNF - Museum With No Frontiers

MWNF - Museum With No Frontiers: "Rákos lies close to Sopron on land that was probably given to the Bishops of Győr by St. Stephen when the bishopric was founded. A long period of discord between the bishop and the town of Sopron probably relates to possession of the settlement and its benefits. The people of Sopron subsequently demolished the palace, but following reconciliation with the bishop in 1311, they were obliged to pay indemnification. Based on certified documents, it is probable that the rebuilt palace (merely a fortified building) was already standing in 1368."
