[1] The earliest ancestors of the House of Monok are of the Clan of Bogát, founded in the late 9th century.

The Bogátradvány genus are the predecessors of the Monoky along with other Hungarian noble families, including the House of Rákóczi.

Among Sandrin's sons, Stephen was a guard cannoneer in Fehérvár, and Peter was a prominent Catholic clergyman of Szabolcs.

[5][2] The successor of Ladislaus I was his son, Simon Monoky, held Lordship over the Monok lands, which he led for a great part of the mid 14th century.

[6] However, the Barony of Lúcz would later be lost near permanently after the death of the Monok main line in the 17th century.

[7] Among the children born to Baron Nicholas II Monoky and Anna Csetneki, the male line of the family died out in 1643 due to the early death of their son John.

Francis Monoky's daughters, from his marriage to Katalin Báthory of Gagy, included Kata Monoky, who married László Fáy, a councillor to Palatine Wesselényi and vice-governor of Borsod County, thus increasing the Fáy estates.

[2] Nicholas II, son of John III, then adopted the title of Baron of Monok, later achieving Baronship through his connections and alignment with King Ferdinand II of Hungary, consisting of service in the military and holding an administrative position.
