Absztrakt

The main objective of this paper is to present that period of the history of the Dorozsma genus which started with it being mentioned for the first time (1269) and finished with the appointment of Nicholas to the office of palatine (1375). In this early time the genus disintegrated to branches and families which shared their hereditary possessions, performed military and diplomatic missions. They could start a conscious lordship-construction out of the estates they got from the king for their loyal service. Prosperous kinship and lord-in-waiting (familiaris) relationships were formed. The presentation of all these factors can hopefully expose the premises that preceded the “success-story” of the palatine branch of the Garai family in the middle of the 14th century.
