Michael Rosd

After a brief skirmish, Stephen forced his father to cede all the lands of the Kingdom of Hungary to the east of the Danube to him and adopted the title of junior king in 1262.

Both Demetrius and Michael joined Stephen's retinue, connecting their fate, fortune and social ascendancy to the power aspirations of the younger king.

Simultaneously, another royal army stormed into Northeast Hungary under the leadership of Duchess Anna of Macsó and Henry Kőszegi and began to besiege and occupy Stephen's castles one after another, for instance Patak, Ágasvár and Szádvár.

[6][7] "Temethyn" was referred to as the property of the Rosd kindred, and former historiography identified it with Temetvény Castle in Nyitra County (present-day Hrádok, Slovakia).

[8] However, there is no known other landholdings of the Rosds in Nyitra County and since they had relatively modest fortune, as their social ascension occurred only during the reign of Stephen after 1270, so their wealth could not be enough to build a castle.

Historian Attila Zsoldos identified "Temethyn" consisting of ditches and ramparts with a recently excavated fortified outpost at the top of the Őrhegy ("Guard Hill") about 1 km from the caste of Füzér (word "temetvény" originally meant "embankment").

[9] After the younger king successfully defended the fort of Feketehalom (present-day Codlea, Romania), his united army decided to march into the central parts of Hungary.

[10] Shortly before Stephen V ascended the Hungarian throne in 1270, the younger king generously rewarded his faithful partisans, including the Rosd brothers, Demetrius and Michael, who were granted Füzér Castle and its lordship, altogether eleven villages, including Füzér, Komlós, Nyíri, Kajata and Telki in Abaúj County.

Demetrius and Michael also received the right of patronage over the Cistercian Klostermarienberg Abbey (Borsmonostor, today part of Mannersdorf an der Rabnitz, Austria) sometime around 1270, after the king confiscated the right from Lawrence Aba, who fled the kingdom after his coronation.

[11] During the 1270s civil war, which escalated under the rule of the minor Ladislaus IV, Michael lost and regained his dignity in accordance with the then state of power rivalry.

[5] It is worth noting that historian Pál Engel attributed the aforementioned career – head of Nyitra County and possessors of the patronage of Borsmonostor in the 1270s – to Demetrius II Csák and his hypothetical brother Michael from their clan's Ugod branch.
