Imre, Croatian: Emerik Bubek; died 1395) was a powerful Hungarian baron, who rose to prominence during the last regnal years of King Louis I of Hungary.
Stephen was mentioned only once in 1397; Andrew functioned as Master of the horse in 1415;[3] Dominic died in 1404; Ursula married Mikcs Mikcsfi, then Juga Racsai.
In early 1283, still supporting her distant cousin, Mary sent Hungarian royal auxiliary troops to the Kingdom of Naples under the command of Bebek to assist Charles of Durazzo to take the Neapolitan throne against Louis I, Duke of Anjou.
[4] Returning home, Queen Mary made Bebek as Voivode of Rus' (the dignity was created after Louis the Great incorporated the occupied territories in Lodomeria, together with Galicia, into the Kingdom of Hungary).
[8] While Bebek resided in Galicia to govern the province, Charles of Durazzo claimed to the Kingdom of Hungary, after his position in Naples consolidated.
[10] His person was acceptable to both parties: years ago, he led an army to support Charles in Naples, while he was a loyal bannerman to Mary and Nicholas Garai.
Historian Iván Bertényi argued the office became independent during the weak central power, and gradually elevated to the status of "Judge of the Country".
In the southern territories, the Horvat brothers, John and Paul rose up in open rebellion on behalf of the murdered king's son, Ladislaus of Naples.
[19] During the period of interregnum (from Mary's imprisonment on 25 July 1386 to Sigismund's coronation as co-ruler on 31 March 1387), Bebek again styled himself as "judex curie regie", distinguished his office from the royal authority.
[23] Emeric and Derek Bebek was granted Szokoly Castle (today Sokoľ, Slovakia) and nine villages in Sáros County in 1387.
[25] He left Buda for Transylvania by April, first appeared in Kolozsvár (today Cluj-Napoca, Romania), then participated in the Diet of Torda between 6 and 12 May.
Whole summer, he resided in the Fortress of Déva (today in Deva, Romania) since June to prepare the military defense of Transylvania and strengthen its border against the Ottoman Empire, who launched a campaign against Bulgaria and captured Tarnovo.
[4] Earlier scholarly works incorrectly identified his person with Emeric Bebek, Prior of Vrana and Derek's son, who led the uprising against Sigismund in 1403.
