His father was Orbász I, ''ispán'' of Komárom County in 1216.Engel: ''Genealógia'' (Genus Báncsa) Vincent had at least two siblings: Stephen I, an influential prelate in the mid-13th century, who became the first Hungarian cardinal in history, and the kindred reached its peak under his guidance; Peter, ancestor of the Horváti family; and a possible another brother (Denis?) or sister, parent of Cardinal Báncsa's other mentioned cousins.
