EMERIC OF HUNGARY, Saint. - Son of St. Stephen, king of Hungary, and of Gisela, sister of St. Henry II, king of Germany. Born in the year 1007 at Stuhlweissenburg, he was educated by Bishop Gerard of Csanad. E., the most faithful of his father's collaborators, was to complete his father's work in making Hungary a united national and Christian state, and for this purpose St. Stephen wrote for him the Admonitiones that form part of the Corpus iuris Hungarici, but he died prematurely on 2 September 1031. Pope Gregory VII declared him a saint in the year 1083 together with his father. In 1921 he was proclaimed patron of Hungarian youth associated in the « Foederatio Emericiana ».
