Gemerská Poloma

	Gemerská Poloma Gemerská Poloma () is a village and large municipality in the Rožňava District. It is located in the Košice Region of middle-eastern Slovakia. History The area of Gemerská Poloma was variously part of Great Moravia and the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. In 1241 the area was subject to Mongol invasion. The first historical mention of the village was in 1282; as "Poloma". At the end of the 14th century, Poloma was divided into two distinct villages: ''Malá Poloma'' ("Small Poloma") and ''Veľká Poloma'' ("Big Poloma"). The two villages were ultimately united together again in 1958. The original name of the village comes from ''polom'', meaning "broken" in Slovak.

The history of this family is connected with the areas in present-day Slovakia, notably in Gemer region, where they had their dominion. History The first mention of this family is from the year 1243, when the king Béla IV of Hungary after the Mongol invasion donated domains at upper Gemer to brothers Derek and Philip. Both Slovak and Hungarian historians consider these brothers as members ''gens'' (clan) Ákos. In the year 1318, descendants of Derek and Philip divided their heritage. Family had divided in two lines: Bebek de Pelsőc and Bebek de Csetnek branches, after the centre of their lands (present-day Plešivec and Štítnik, respectively).
