János Kendi
János Kendi de Nagykend ( hu, nagykendi Kendi János; died 1677) was a Hungarian jurist, who served as assistant notary of Michael I Apafi, Prince of Transylvania from 1661 to 1677. Career He was of serf origin (thus he was not related to the Kendi de Szarvaskend noble family). According to his last will and testament, Kendi liberated his parents himself from serfdom, when he was already notary. Based on his noble prefix, it is possible that he was born in the early 1600s in Nagykend (today ''Chendu'', part of Bălăușeri commune in Romania). In 1623, he was a scribe at the Princely Court of Justice during the reign of Gabriel Bethlen. He was a scribe at the Lesser Chancellery between 1632 and 1638. He compiled the ''urbarium'' of Székelyudvarhely (present-day Odorheiu Secuiesc, Romania) and its surrounding areas in 1644. In the last years of Prince George II Rákóczi, Kendi served as notary of Marosszék, mentioned in this capacity in 1656. He became a judge of the Prin ...
