Kálnoky Family
The House of Kálnoky is a noble family originating from the Kingdom of Hungary. The Kálnoky family history can be traced back to medieval times. History In 1252 the family was documented in Székely Land, in the eastern part of Transylvania, as ''comes'' (chief) of the Szekler 'Sepsi' tribe. Since their first documentation, the family have been ''primores'' (magnates) of the Szekler people in Transylvania.
