History

In 1549, Petrovics Péter, the captain of Temesvár Castle, invited Szegedi Kis István to become the headmaster of the local school. He was also a preacher of the local Protestant congregation. In 1551, Losonczi István became the castle captain of Temesvár, who did not look favourably on the spread of the Reformation, so one of his first actions was to dissolve the local Protestant congregation, and Szegedi Kis István had to flee.
