Mercurius Of Slavonia
Mercurius ( hu, Merkúr; died after 1206) was a Moravian lord in the early 13th century, who settled down in the Kingdom of Hungary. As a confidant of King Andrew II of Hungary, he served as Ban of Slavonia from 1205 to 1206. He became related to the royal Árpád dynasty through his marriage. Origin Early, 19th-century historiographical works incorrectly propounded that Mercurius belonged to the powerful Hungarian clan Gutkeled. Since then, it was proved that he was grandfather of that Mérk (Myrk or Mercurius), Wenceslaus and James of the Csákányi family, about whom the 13th century chronicler Simon of Kéza mentions that they descended "from the dukes of Moravia and have ties of kinship with King Béla IV". According to historian Tibor Neumann, it is possible he is identical with one of the lords called Marquartus, whose name appear in contemporary charters from the Kingdom of Bohemia, but he was certainly not member of the Přemyslid dynasty, despite Simon's account.

13th-century Hungarian People
The 13th century was the century which lasted from January 1, 1201 ( MCCI) through December 31, 1300 ( MCCC) in accordance with the Julian calendar. The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan, which stretched from Eastern Asia to Eastern Europe. The conquests of Hulagu Khan and other Mongol invasions changed the course of the Muslim world, most notably the Siege of Baghdad (1258), the destruction of the House of Wisdom and the weakening of the Mamluks and Rums which, according to historians, caused the decline of the Islamic Golden Age. Other Muslim powers such as the Mali Empire and Delhi Sultanate conquered large parts of West Africa and the Indian subcontinent, while Buddhism witnessed a decline through the conquest led by Bakhtiyar Khilji. The Southern Song dynasty would begin the century as a prosperous kingdom but would eventually be invaded and annexed into the Yuan dynasty of the Mongols. The Kamakura Shogunate of Japan would be invaded by the Mongols. Goryeo resiste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
12th-century People From Bohemia
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boleslaus, Bishop Of Vác

He supported Duke Andrew during the Duke's conflict with his brother, King Emeric of Hungary.

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. Based on the geographical location of their landholdings, historian Vince Bunyitay considered that both of them belonged to the ''gens'' (clan) Becsegergely. Other historians – including Samu Borovszky and Ferenc Chobot – accepted his interpretation. Boleslaus' godfather was the reigning monarch, Béla II of Hungary (r. 1131–1141) at his birth, according to later documents. Boleslaus was granted the royal estate of Lelesz (pres ...

Andrew, Ban Of Slavonia
Andrew ( hu, András; died before 1208) was a Hungarian lord at the end of the 12th century, who – as a confidant of the rebellious Duke Andrew – served as Ban of Slavonia. Through his marriage, he was son-in-law of the late King Géza II of Hungary. Career According to genealogist Mór Wertner, Andrew belonged to the ''gens'' (clan) Kadarkalász, which possessed landholdings in Veszprém and Pilis counties. Wertner established the theory based on the name of his son Andronikos, since an eponymous member of the clan (Andronikos, son of Andrew) is mentioned in 1248. However, János Karácsonyi refused the identification due to chronological considerations. Andrew had a son Andronikos, who already appeared as a ''comes'' and testa in 1198, i.e. he was adult by then. For this reason, it is likely that Andronikos was born from his father's first marriage to an unidentified lady. Andrew started his career during the reign of King Béla III of Hungary.
