Egidius Smaragd
Egidius from the kindred Smaragd ( hu, Smaragd nembeli Egyed; died after 1215) was a Hungarian distinguished nobleman at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. Originating from a kinship of French origin, he established a Premonstratensian monastery in Zsámbék. Family Egidius (also Giles) was born into the ''gens'' (clan) Smaragd, a kindred from the Kingdom of France, which had settled down in Hungary in the middle of the 12th century. He was the son of Smaragd (I), who is referred to as ''comes'' in the 1160s. Egidius had a brother Smaragd (II), who served as Judge royal (1205–1206) then briefly Voivode of Transylvania (1206) during the reign of Andrew II, and possibly another sibling called Paul.

Tiburtius Rosd
Tiburtius (I) from the kindred Rosd (also known as Tiburtius the Great; hu, Rosd nembeli (I.) "Nagy" Tiborc; died after 1222) was a Hungarian distinguished nobleman at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, who served as ''ispán'' (head) of various counties during the reign of kings Emeric then Andrew II. Family His origin is uncertain; according to historian György Györffy, he presumably was born into either ''gens'' (clan) Rosd or Kartal but none can be substantiated by sources. László Makkai considered Tiburtius belonged to the clan Kartal. Based on the landholdings of Tiburtius and his descendants, historian Attila Zsoldos argued Tiburtius was a member of that branch of the clan Rosd, which gradually separated from the senior branch with relatively insignificant fortune in the last decades of the 12th century, possibly due to the political advance of Tiburtius. Tiburtius had a son Farkas I. Tiburtius' descendants (grandsons Tiburtius II and Martin and great-grandsons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dowry
A dowry is a payment, such as property or money, paid by the bride's family to the groom or his family at the time of marriage. Dowry contrasts with the related concepts of bride price and dower. While bride price or bride service is a payment by the Bridegroom, groom, or his family, to the bride, or her family, dowry is the wealth transferred from the bride, or her family, to the groom, or his family. Similarly, dower is the property settled on the bride herself, by the groom at the time of marriage, and which remains under her ownership and control. Dowry is an ancient custom that is already mentioned in some of the earliest writings, and its existence may well predate records of it. Dowries continue to be expected and demanded as a condition to accept a marriage proposal in some parts of the world, mainly in parts of Asia, The custom of dowry is most common in cultures that are strongly patrilineal and that expect women to reside with or near their husband's family (patriloca ...

Boleslaus, Bishop Of Vác
Boleslaus ( hu, Boleszló, sk, Boleslav; died 1212 or 1213) was a prelate in the Kingdom of Hungary at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries. He was Bishop of Vác between 1193 and 1212. He supported Duke Andrew during the Duke's conflict with his brother, King Emeric of Hungary. Early life Boleslaus was born in the 1130s into a prominent noble family, but his parentage and origin is unknown. He had a brother (or at least, relative; ''frater'') Elvin, also a prelate, who served as Bishop of Várad (present-day Oradea, Romania) from 1189 to 1200.
