Vilcina or Wulcina was elected bishop sometime after 1157 (or 1158), when his last known predecessor Walter is mentioned in this capacity.[1] Vilcina first appears as bishop of Transylvania in October 1166, when he was among the witnesses in a royal charter of Stephen III, who confirmed a land transaction between a certain Vitus and the Knights Templar. Vilcina also acted as a witness in 1169, when Stephen III confirmed the privileges of the burghers of Šibenik.[2] Vilcina held the position of bishop until 1181 at the latest, when Paul is mentioned in this capacity.[1]
