Crispin or Krispin (Hungarian: Köröspény; died after 1193) was a prelate in the Kingdom of Hungary in the late 12th century, who served as Bishop of Csanád (now Cenad in Romania) from 1192 until around 1193/98.

Career

Crispin was elected Bishop of Csanád in 1192, when his predecessor Saul Győr elevated into the position of Archbishop of Kalocsa.[1] He first appeared in this dignity as a signatory of a royal charter in that year, when King Béla III of Hungary donated three duty-free salt-carrying vessels to the Pannonhalma Abbey.[2] Crispin was again referred to as bishop in 1193, when Bartholomew of Krk was granted Modruš by Béla III.[2] This is the last piece of information about Crispin. His earliest known successor John was elected Bishop of Csanád in 1198.[1]
