Ampud, also Ampod, Apod or Ompud (Latin: Ompudinus; died 1186) was a powerful aristocrat in the Kingdom of Hungary in the second half of the 12th century.
[5] He unsuccessfully besieged Spalato, but recaptured Biograd na Moru and Šibenik, as royal charters issued on behalf of the Hungarian monarch and Stephen III also confirmed estates in the two towns.
[6][7] According to historian Gyula Kristó, the overwhelming portion of Dalmatia was under Byzantine control and the ban's original territory had been drastically reduced since the 1160s, when Amoud held the dignity.
[1] In 1176, he was one of the two commanders of the Hungarian auxiliary troops, alongside Voivode Leustach Rátót, sent by Béla III of Hungary to fight along the Byzantines against the Seljuks in the Battle of Myriokephalon.
[12] He married an unidentified daughter of Count Berthold III of Andechs, Margrave of Istria, which reflects the social prestige of the older Ampud.
