[1] Historian Tamás Körmendi identified Nicholas as a member of the gens (clan) Budmér, a relatively insignificant kindred from Baranya County.

[5] As both Michael and George died without male heirs, the majority of the wealth of Nicholas' family, particularly the lordship of Harsány were inherited by Kemény in 1287, who was one of the richest noblemen in Baranya County by that time.

[1] Belonging to the household of the child prince and heir Duke Stephen, Nicholas served as ispán of Dubica County from 1244 to 1249, which had laid in Lower Slavonia.

In addition, Nicholas was also permitted to build a stone castle on top of the Szársomlyó Hill in order to prevent a possible subsequent Mongol invasion.

[8] Around the same time, Nicholas was also granted the village Danóc and the right of patronage over the monastery of Gét in Baranya County by King Béla, who confiscated them from Gug and his sons, ancestors of the prestigious Újlaki family.

[10] From 1254 to 1255, Nicholas was mandated to supervise and confiscate the former royal land donations to the udvornici in Western Hungary – Somogy, Zala, Vas and Veszprém counties.

[9] After the death of Michael (and thus the extinction of the "Sinister branch"), the fort of Szársomlyó and the surrounding lordship of Harsány became the property of Nicholas' son-in-law Kemény.
