Nicholas I (Hungarian: Miklós; died after 1203) was a Hungarian distinguished nobleman, who held several secular positions during the reign of Emeric, King of Hungary.
[1] As a confidant of Emeric, he served as ban of Slavonia and besides that ispán of Zala County from 1198 to 1199 (while Emeric's brother, the rebellious Duke Andrew appointed a parallel ban, Andrew).
[6] As a loyal supporter of King Emeric, his person undoubtedly was not the same as the other Nicholas, who served as the first palatine for Andrew II of Hungary, Emeric's brother and rival in the throne fights.
Consequently, Nicholas, the ban of Slavonia for Prince Andrew in 1200 was also a different baron.
[7] His son Stephen was a member of the entourage of Duke Béla in 1220.
