Bejc (genus)

Bejc or Beicz (Beych or Beuch) was the name of a minor gens (Latin for "clan"; nemzetség in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary, which possessed lands in Vas County, Western Transdanubia.

They possessed the namesake village lay near Rum in Vas County (present-day Bejcgyertyános, with the merger of the two settlements Bejc and Hegyhátgyertyános after 1927).

As a confidant of Béla IV of Hungary during the last decade of his reign, Farkas served as provost of Székesfehérvár and vice-chancellor of the royal court from 1262 to 1268, then Bishop of Győr from 1268 to 1269 or 1270, his death.

[3] Through his brother Paul, Farkas had a nephew Nicholas, who was granted the castle of Hricsó (present-day Hričovské Podhradie, Slovakia) by Béla IV in 1265, courtesy to his uncle.

Despite that, he sold Hricsó to Biter Balassa (Dominic's cousin) together with his weapons, servants and chattels for 70 marks in 1278.
