He came from an obscure noble family originating from Borsod county and was the youngest son of eight brothers. Emeric was born in 1345 and his social ascent has been facilitated by his elder brother, Peter who was a close collaborator of king Louis I of Anjou. Emeric chose ecclesiastical career, being archdeacon of Satu Mare, provost of Kalocsa, provost of Székesfehévár. He was subsequently bishop of Oradea, Eger and Transylvania. In his career, Emeric received secular missions. Together with his brother Peter, Emeric was sent to mediate the engagement of Catherine, daughter of the Hungarian king with Louis, son of the king of France.

Pästorirea sa a coincis cu о perioadä agitata din istoria Bisericii Catolice, Marea Schisma a Occidentului, care a afectat negativ toatä Europa. Era firesc ca §i episcopia Transilvaniei sä resimtä acest fenomen. Astfel, se constatä cä Tntr-o perioadä de 15 ani s-au succedat la conducerea diecezei 5 episcopi, Tn contextui in care Tn timpul papilor de la Avignon, demnitatea episcopalä a Transilvaniei a fost una stabilä. Revenind la personajul studiului nostru, Emeric Czudar a fost numit episcop al Transilvaniei de papa Urban al Vl-lea (1378-1389), la 28 mai 1386, fiind transferat la Alba lulia din postul de episcop de Imola (Italia)1.

Sub acest nume apare bunicul episcopului, Dionisie, si tatäl säu, Dominic, care a avut opt fii din cäsätoria cu Ecaterina Kállai.
