When Rákóczi's War of Independence (1703–1711) broke out, Géczy's father quickly joined the Kuruc forces, but her husband defended the Castle of Csábrág against the insurgents.

The Kuruc periodical newspaper Mercurius Veridicus blamed "one frivolous woman" (Hungarian: "egyetlen ledér nőszemély") for the loss of Lőcse, alluding to Géczy.

The note said that knowing her skills, they are asking her to relay the letters, which were from Prince Francis II Rákóczi and Major general Miklós Bercsényi.

Géczy went to Pozsony (present day Bratislava, Slovakia), where the Diet of Hungary was held, and told Palatine János Pálffy about the letters, who asked her to give them to him.

Géczy's allegations about the letters and the plans of a new insurgence angered both the imperial court and the noblemen of the diet, who were trying to hold Emperor Charles VI to the promises of the Treaty of Szatmár (1711).
