Lawrence II Aba

[1] He first appears in sources in 1279, when donated the estate of Limpach to the Cistercian Klostermarienberg Abbey (Borsmonostor, today part of Mannersdorf an der Rabnitz, Austria) for his late father's spiritual salvation, who was buried in the monastery.

[4] He was made Master of the treasury in December 1279,[5] when Ladislaus IV imprisoned papal legate Philip of Fermo and reorganized the royal council in order to fill the dignities with his loyal partisans, including Peter Tétény and Apor Péc beside Lawrence.

It is plausible that Lawrence held his dignity until the spring of 1280, when Ugrin Csák retook the position in accordance with the agreement and reconciliation between the king and the most powerful barons.

[6] When Ladislaus IV regained some space for maneuver, Lawrence again served as Master of the treasury from around July 1280 to April 1281,[5] but he was ultimately replaced by his distant relative, Peter Aba from the more influential Széplak branch.

[7] Since the early 1280s, the powerful Kőszegi family gradually extended their influence over Sopron County, including the Locsmánd region, where the majority of Lawrence's lands had laid.

According to historian Gyula Kristó, Ivan Kőszegi brought whole Sopron County under his jurisdiction and annexed it to his emerging oligarchic province by 1285, when several local nobles were mentioned as his familiares.

Through this wedding, the brothers acquired the lordships of Darnóc (today Slatinski Drenovac in Croatia) and Atyina, and – following violent struggles with the Kőszegis – became ancestors of the Atyinai family (1317),[9] which flourished until the 1430s.
