Years: 1045 - 1045
Emperor Henry enters Székesfehérvár following Samuel Aba's death.
He restores Peter, who introduces Bavarian law in his realm, which suggests that Hungary became an imperial fief.
He accepts the emperor's suzerainty on Whitsun 1045, giving his royal lance to his overlord (who returns to Hungary).
A number of plots to overthrow Peter indicate that he remains unpopular.
Two of King Stephen I's maternal cousins (Bolya and Bonyha) conspire against Peter in 1045, but the king has them arrested, tortured and executed; Bishop Gerard of Csanád invites the late Vazul's exiled sons to the country.
