Historian Elemér Mályusz argued the family was familiar to chronicler Ákos, because King Béla I's daughter Sophia was engaged to Margrave William, Otto's brother in 1062, then she married their nephew Ulric.

Historian János Karácsonyi identified Wircburg as Marburg in March of Styria (today Maribor, Slovenia), while Mesn was identical with the nearby Messendorf, he claimed.

Accordingly, during his brief exile in Austria, Stephen III could rely not only on the increased number of his followers against his unpopular uncle, but also on the assistance of mercenary knights recruited in Germany, including Hahold, whose army successfully routed the Csáks and destroyed Csákvár, their fort.

[6] Mályusz also added if Hahold was invited to Hungary by Stephen IV who was decisively defeated in the Battle of Székesfehérvár on 19 June 1163, he would not have been able to keep the gained estates, in addition to integrate into the Hungarian nobility.

[7] Nevertheless, after Stephen III's victory over his uncle and the Byzantine Empire, Hahold stayed in Hungary and received land donations and settled down in Zala County near the Austrian border.

[8] In addition to the Csányi (or Csány), Szabari, Söjtöri and Hahóti kinships, the powerful Bánfi de Alsólendva noble family, which flourished until 1645, descended from Hahold.
