Before becoming Judge royal, George functioned as ispán of Zala County in 1137.[2] His authority increasingly separated from the Palatine's who increasingly dealt with national issues, while the Judge royal George handled the affairs of the royal court. His name is mentioned in only one royal charter issued in September 1138, when a certain Fila donated his Örs estate to the chapter of Veszprém.[3]
