Szolnok (ispán)
Szolnok (also Zounok, Zonunc or Zaunic; killed September 1046) was a Hungarian nobleman in the first half of the 11th century, who served as the first ''ispán'' of Szolnok County, which was named after him.

He was born in the early years of the 11th century. He plausibly held important positions in the royal court since the beginning of the 1030s.

According to historian György Györffy, Stephen I entrusted Szolnok to establish a royal domain towards the end of his reign, in the second wave of the organization of Counties of Hungary (1000–1920) ...
