Lőrinte (genus)
Lőrinte or Lőrente (''Leurente'' or ''Leurenthe'') was the name of a ''gens'' (Latin for "clan"; ''nemzetség'' in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary, which possessed lands in Transdanubia, mainly Veszprém and Zala counties. The Essegvári and Bezerédj families descended from this clan. History The namesake founder of the clan, Lőrinte (a name variant of Lawrence) possibly lived in the 12th century. The kindred centered around the village Lőrinte (present-day Lőrintepuszta, a borough of Kolontár) in Veszprém County. There, they also erected a church. According to historian Attila Zsoldos, the Lőrinte kindred came from a lower social status ( castle warriors or royal servants), who elevated into the Hungarian nobility due to their services for the royal court. Based on a 1478 seal of vice-''ispán'' George Essegvári, heraldist József Csoma reconstructed the coat-of-arms of the Lőrinte kindred in his 1904 work: on the shield field a falcon facing left, standing on ...

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] |

Lőrinte (II) from the kindred Lőrinte (; died after 1342) was a Hungarian nobleman in the second half of the 13th century and early 14th century, who served as ''ispán'' of Veszprém County from 1291 to 1292 and from 1298 to 1302. He was the ancestor of the Essegvári family. Family and early life Lőrinte (also Leurente or Leurenthe) was born around 1242 into the namesake ''gens'' (clan) Lőrinte, as the son of ''comes'' Saul.Engel: ''Genealógia'' (Genus Lőrinte, Essegvári branch) The Lőrinte clan possessed landholdings in Veszprém County. The young Lőrinte entered the service of Duke Stephen, the eldest son and heir of Béla IV of Hungary. Since they were roughly the same age, Lőrinte may have been brought up together with the prince. It is plausible he belonged to the ducal court, when Stephen governed the Duchy of Styria from 1258 to 1260. During that time, Zala County and the Bakony royal forest, where Lőrinte and his kinship possessed landholdings, were attache ...
