Rado (palatine)

Rado (Radó; died 1057) was a noble in the Kingdom of Hungary, who served as palatine (comes palatii) around 1057, during the reign of Andrew I of Hungary.

As palatine, Rado donated some land estates to the Abbey of Szávaszentdemeter (Sirmium; today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia) in 1057. He died in that same year. Later his widow, Lucia commemorated her orphaned relatives in a charter.

His name is Slavic. It is possible that Rado was a descendant of Gabriel Radomir, a son of Bulgar Emperor Samuel (r. 997–1014).
