Budmér (genus)
Budmér was the name of a minor ''gens'' (Latin for "clan"; ''nemzetség'' in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary, which possessed lands in Southern Transdanubia, mostly Baranya County. History The Budmér clan possibly originated from Slavonia. Their name comes from Slavic personal name ''Budimír''. It may also come from Cuman ''Bütemer.'' According to historian György Györffy, they were of castle warrior origin, but historian Tamás Körmendi strongly doubts it because of the lack of royal castle lands in the region. By the last decades of the 13th century, when the genus first appeared in contemporary records, they possessed villages Nagybudmér and Kisbudmér north of the Villány Mountains. Both villages were named after the founder of the clan, Budmér or Budimír. Two members of the family, Andrew (son of Peter) and Teha acted as arbiters in the lawsuit between James Győr and Kemény, son of Lawrence in 1285.

Nicholas Budmér

Family Nicholas was born into a noble family, which possessed lands in the area between Harsány and Szársomlyó Hill in Baranya County. His father was Nicholas (I), whose parentage is unknown. Contemporary records, even his own charter in 1255, frequently referred to him as Nicholas "the Sinister" or "the Left-handed" (), but he definitely did not belong to the powerful clan Balog, which owned lands in northern Hungary. Historian Tamás Körmendi identified Nicholas as a member of the ''gens'' (clan) Budmér, a relatively insignificant kindred from Baranya County. Körmendi claimed this based on Nicholas' fragmentally preserved seal from 1255, which circumscription can be solved as "'' - - MAISTRI DE GENERE BVDMER''", in addition to a 1285 charter by the cathedral chapter of Pécs, wh ...

Familiaris
In the Middle Ages, a ''familiaris'' (plural ''familiares''), more formally a ''familiaris regis'' ("familiar of the king") or ''familiaris curiae''In medieval documents, ''curiae'' may also be spelled ''curiæ'' or ''curie''. ("of the court"), was, in the words of the historian W. L. Warren, "an intimate, a familiar resident or visitor in the oyalhousehold, a member of the ''familia'', that wider family which embraces servants, confidents, and close associates." Warren adds that the term "defies adequate translation", but is distinct from courtier, "for the king employed his ''familiares'' on a variety of administrative tasks." The ''familiares'' of a king are collectively referred to as the ''familia regis'', which evolved into a private royal council—in England during the reign of Henry III (1216–72) and in France during that of Philip V (1316–22). In England, it was known as the ''concilium familiare'' or ''concilium privatum'' ( Privy Council) and in France as the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
