[citation needed] Kata Szidónia was the daughter of baron Stephen Petrőczy and Elisabeth Thököly and cousin of prince Imre Thököly of Transylvania.

After her father participated in 1670 in a rebellion against Habsburg, they lived in exile in Poland for a while.

She married Petrovinai Pekry Lőrinc in 1681,[4] and became the grandmother of writer Polixénia Daniel (1720–1776).

The couple were deeply involved in the political life of Hungary and Transylvania.
