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. Consequently, the town of Szolnok preserved his name to this day. He was killed during the Vata pagan uprising. Historical interpretations According to historian Gábor Bagi, Szolnok represented the last generation of the royal officials who emerged during the reign of the first Hungarian king Stephen I of Hungary, Stephen I. 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. Local historian László Szabó claimed that his name is first mentioned in 1018, but there is no source for that. 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) ...

Békés
Békés (; ; ) is a town in Békés County, Hungary. It lies about north of Békéscsaba and east of Budapest. History The area of the present town has been inhabited since ancient times, due to its good soil and proximity to rivers. After the Hungarians conquered the area, Békés and its surroundings were the property of the '' Csolt'' clan. Békés (the name means 'peaceful') was originally the name of the castle which gave its name to the comitatus, and, like many castles, was possibly named after its first steward. Many documents from the 13th century prove that Békés was the county seat. After 1403, when the area became the estate of the Maróthi family, Békés slowly lost its importance and the role of the centre of the comitatus was gradually taken over by Gyula. In 1566, the castle of Gyula was occupied by the Ottoman army, and Békés fell under Ottoman rule too. The Ottomans built a motte castle in the town, but it was destroyed in 1595 when the Ottomans ...
