Nicholas I Kőszegi
Nicholas (I) Kőszegi (, ; died 1299) was a Hungarian influential lord in the second half of the 13th century. He was a member of the powerful Kőszegi family. He served as Palatine of Hungary at various times between 1275 and 1298. He was also Ban of Slavonia three times.

He swore loyalty to Andrew III of Hungary after their failed rebellion in 1292. In comparison to the other branches of the Kőszegi family, Nicholas' branch remained relatively insignificant, as he did not establish an Oligarch (Kingdom of Hungary), oligarchic province independently of the king, unlike his brothers. Nicholas was ancestor of the Rohonci family, which flourished until the mid-15th century. Family Nicholas I was born in the 1240s into the wealthy and influential Kőszegi family, originating from the Héder (genus), ''gens'' (clan) Héder, as the eldest son of ...

Hungarian Civil War (1264–1265)
The Hungarian Civil War of 1264–1265 () was a brief Árpád dynasty, dynastic conflict between King Béla IV of Hungary and his son Stephen V of Hungary, Duke Stephen at the turn of 1264 into 1265. Béla's relationship with his oldest son and heir, Stephen, became tense in the early 1260s, because the elderly king favored his daughter Anna of Hungary, Duchess of Macsó, Anna and his youngest child, Béla, Duke of Slavonia. Stephen accused Béla of planning to disinherit him. After a brief skirmish, Stephen forced his father to cede all the Kingdom of Hungary's lands east of the Danube to him and adopted the title of junior king in 1262. Nevertheless, their relationship remained tense, causing a civil war by the end of 1264. The conflict resulted in Stephen's victory over his father's royal army. They concluded a peace treaty in 1266, which failed to restore confidence between them. Béla died in 1270. The 1264–1265 civil war was one trigger for the emerging feudal anarc ...
