[3][4] For his faithful service, Herrand was granted Szentkút (present-day Stegersbach and Heiligenbrunn in Austria), Mérhart, Szombatfalva (today a borough of Strem in Austria), Újfalva and Pinka along the Austrian border by Béla IV in 1255, which villages were formerly possessed by his distant relative, Virunt (or Werenherth), who served as a canon of the cathedral chapter of Győr and died without descendants.
[5] By August 1262, Herrand was installed as Master of the horse in the royal court (the last known predecessor Lawrence, son of Kemény held the dignity until 1259).
[7] Despite that a large-scale civil war broke out between Béla IV and Stephen at the turn of 1264 and 1265; Herrand's possible involvement in the conflict is unknown, but the monarch donated him Oroszvár (present-day Rusovce, a borough of Bratislava, Slovakia) with its fortified manor and the privilege to hold regular fairs there in May 1266.
[5] Following the death of Béla IV and Stephen V's ascension to the Hungarian throne in May 1270, Herrand lost his courtly positions and political influence for years.
This data perhaps reflects Herrand's political independence from the aspirations of their distant relatives, the Kőszegi family, who dominated that county from that decade.
Herrand's newly acquired positions projected his responsibility to protect the Hungarian borderlands against the invasions of Ottokar II from Bohemia and Austria in those turbulent years.
He was granted the confiscated lands of the royal archers in Vas County in December 1274, because of their former alignment with the late Henry Kőszegi (otherwise Herrand's distant relative from the other branch of the Héder clan), a major enemy of the Csáks.
[12] For his service, Herrand was granted the castle of Ságsomlyó and its accessories (Nagyság, Általság, Hőgyész and Kamnat) near present-day Celldömölk by Ladislaus IV in October 1275.
[9] James II handed his lands in Moson County – Oroszvár, Szerdahely (present-day Rusovce and Dunajská Streda in Slovakia, respectively), Csütörtökhely and Rajka, over to King Andrew III in 1297, in exchange for Monyorókerék (today Eberau in Austria).
