[1] His brothers were prelate and chancellor Saul, Bishop of Csanád, then Archbishop of Kalocsa; Maurus, Ban of Primorje, who was the ancestor of the Gyulai and Geszti noble families; Alexander, who participated in King Emeric's Wars in the Balkans; and Pat, also a powerful baron and Palatine.
[5] Csépán remained a loyal supporter of Emeric, whose whole reign was characterized by his struggles against his rebellious younger brother, Duke Andrew.
[9] For his service, he was granted two royal lands in Moson County: Szombathely and its customs duties and Balogd by Andrew II in 1209, not long before his assassination.
[3] The victim's brother Pat, who also succeeded him as Palatine,[8] summoned the suspected perpetrator "before the king's presence", but, instead, Tiba fled the Kingdom of Hungary.
After his conduct, the court considered the allegations justified, and he was convicted and sentenced to death in absentia by Andrew II and his fellow appointed judges.
[12] Historian Pál Szabó analyzed the verdict's narrative and political circumstances (only a single private law document mentions the felony), and considered Csépán was killed for personal reasons.
