After the Tatar Invasion, Béla IV traveled through Hungary several times to serve justice and put an end to abuse and misrule. He held a tribunal at the so-called Királyszék (King's Chair) located on the border of Győr in the direction of Ménfőcsanak in 1244. That day in history is commemorated with a stone cross marking where the King's Chair had once stood.
