Martin Hont-Pázmány

He was born into the Hont-Pázmány kindred of German ancestry, founded by knights Hont and Pázmány in the late 10th century.

[1] Martin was a loyal supporter of Duke Andrew, who rebelled against the realm of his brother, King Emeric at several times.

[4] Following the sudden death of the child Ladislaus III, his uncle Andrew II ascended the throne in 1205.

He was also mentioned in this capacity in 1234, when he was delegated to a member of a court of justice chaired by Ugrin Csák, the Archbishop of Kalocsa.

Martin founded the Ipolyság Abbey (today Šahy, Slovakia) around 1236, now during the reign of Béla IV (r. 1235–1270).
