Bogátradvány (gens)

Bogátradvány (Bogát-Radván, Bogát-Radvány) was the name of a gens (Latin for "clan"; nemzetség in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary.

The powerful Rákóczi family ascended from this gens.

The Cseleji, Dobi, Körtvélyessy, Hosszúmezei, Lukács, Morvay, Osvald, Posai, Bekecs and Isépy families also originated from the gens Bogátradvány.

Lászlo Makkai, a Hungarian historian, through his work, Transylvania in the Medieval Hungarian Kingdom (896-1526), mentions the tribes regarding Bogát (Bugat rex) as a Gyula of the Magyar tribal confederation.

Simon of Kéza explains the origins of the Bogátradvány Clan are during Migration Period, as the tribe of Keszi settled in the East during the Hungarian conquests in Europe.
