Life Orbász (also Orbas or Vrbas) was born into the ''gens'' (clan) Báncsa, an original settler family from Bács County (today Bač, Serbia). He had a brother Benedict (or Beke).

Komárom County
Komárom (Hungarian: ; or ; , later ; ) is a city in Hungary on the south bank of the Danube in Komárom-Esztergom County. Komárom fortress played an important role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and many contemporary English sources refer to it as the Fortress of Comorn. Komárom on the south bank was formerly known as a separate village called Újszőny (or Szony). Komarom on the north bank and Újszőny were connected in 1892 with an iron bridge across the Danube. The two towns were united under the name of city of Komárom in 1896. On 4 June 1920, the Treaty of Trianon that broke up the Austria-Hungary Empire split the city in two, because the southern border of Czechoslovakia was determined by the river Danube. This division separated the historical Komárom County, Komárom county of the Kingdom of Hungary and the city of Komárom. The bigger, northern part of the city was attached to Czechoslovakia and renamed Komárno. Its population resulted in a sizable ...

Denis Of Hungary
Denis of Hungary (, , , , ; ''c''. 1210 – 1268/72), was a Hungarian-born Aragonese knight and nobleman in the 13th century.

Theories of origin Hungarian genealogist Mór Wertner was the first scholar in the late 19th century, who connected "Denis of Hungary" with the prominent lord Denis, son of Ampud, who was responsible for the economy policy and acted as key architect of the large-scale financial reforms during the reign of Andrew II of Hungary. He identified them with each other. According to Wertner, after Andrew's son and main opponent, Béla IV ascended the Hungarian throne in 1235, Denis, who f ...
