Nagymartoni Family
The Nagymartoni or Martinsdorfi (also Bajtói, and later Fraknói; german: von Mattersdorf, later ''von Forchtenstein'') was a noble family in the Kingdom of Hungary of Aragonese origin, which existed from the early 13th century to the mid-15th century. In the last period of their existence, they were subjects of the Duke of Austria too. History Arrival in Hungary The origin of the family was preserved by two chronicles, the 14th-century ''Illuminated Chronicle'', which utilized the text of ''magister'' Ákos' now-lost '' gesta'', and Simon of Kéza's ''Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum''. Both Ákos (early 1270s) and Simon (early 1280s) were contemporaries of the Nagymartonis' second generation – ''ispán''s Simon and Michael, as a result both of them called the family as "the kinship of Simon and Michael". The circumstances and time of their arrival are narrated differently by the two chroniclers. While Ákos claims the kinship came to Hungary belonging to the accompaniment of ...

Gesta Hunnorum Et Hungarorum
The ''Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum''''Reader's encyclopedia of Eastern European literature'', 1993, Robert B. Pynsent, Sonia I. Kanikova, p. 529. (Latin: "Deeds of the Huns and Hungarians") is a medieval chronicle written mainly by Simon of Kéza around 1282–1285. It is one of the sources of early Hungarian history. It is also known as the ''Gesta Hungarorum (II)'' (Latin: "Deeds of the Hungarians"), the "(II)" indicating its status as an expansion of the original ''Gesta Hungarorum'' (written around 1200). The work is dated to 1282–1285 as it includes the Battle of Lake Hód (1282) but does not mention the Second Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1285. The work combines Hunnish legend with history. It consists of two parts: the Hunnish legend ("Hunnish Chronicle"), expanded with Hungarian oral tales; and a history of the Kingdom of Hungary since the original ''Gesta Hungaronum''. Simon of Kéza was a court cleric of King Ladislaus IV of Hungary (reigned 1272–1290). He travel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Benedict, Son Of Korlát
Benedict, son of Korlát ( hu, Korlát fia Benedek; died after 1221) was a Hungarian distinguished nobleman, who served as voivode of Transylvania twice, from 1202 to 1206 and 1208 to 1209. He was styled as "''dux''" by royal charters – the first one who is not a relative of the royal Árpád dynasty –, which indicated his high social prestige. Due to the lack of sources and the presence of multiple barons named Benedict in the period simultaneously, there are a number of difficulties in drawing and defining his career path. There are assumptions, he is identical with Benedict "the Antichrist" and/or Benedict "the Bald", who governed the Principality of Halych on behalf of the Hungarian monarch Andrew II in 1209–1210 and 1214–1221, respectively. This governor, considering the two as one person, is also referred to as Benedikt Bor in Russian and Ukrainian historiography. This article, regardless of whether both, or either, or neither can be identified with Benedict, son of K ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nyergesújfalu
Nyergesújfalu (german: Neudorf; la, Crumerum) is a town in Komárom-Esztergom County, Hungary, in the Central Transdanubia region. The city, located near the river Danube, is an ancient site of habitation. It was located on the Crumerum, a major Roman trade and military route. Late-era Romans built a fort here, to help protect the northern border of their empire. The settlement was later overrun by various tribes and, later still, by invaders from the Ottoman Empire. In the periods of warfare the fort was destroyed. European travelers later noted the fort's ruins; for instance, in the mid-18th century, travel writer Richard Pococke wrote about it. "We saw the ruins of the fort, several Roman bricks and elsewhere foundations that seemed to be Roman." The struggle for freedom in the region in the later 18th century resulted in the destruction of most of the fort. A century later, not even remnant stones were visible. In the late 18th century Maria Theresa of Austria recruited G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
