Otto Győr

[2] Medieval chronicles unanimously considered the Győr (also Geur or Jeur) kindred originated from Germany, who came to the Kingdom of Hungary in the first half of the 11th century.

He considered the ancestor of the kindred was German knight Győr, who participated in the defeat of Koppány alongside other foreign warriors, and settled down in Western Hungary after receiving royal land donations.

[4] Historian Erik Fügedi claimed the kindred came to the Kingdom of Hungary during the reign of Andrew I (r. 1046–1060) and also accepted the individual Győr as the founder of the clan.

Gyula Kristó accepted the narration of the Illuminated Chronicle, which says Poth (also Pot or Pat) arrived to Hungary during Solomon's rule (1063–1074), but he does not connect him to the Győr kindred; he argues its first member was Otto.

[8] On their return, Count Palatine Atha [Otto] requested the king [Solomon] and the duke [Géza] that they should be present at the consecration of his monastery which he had built at Zselic in honor of St. James; and this was done.Otto functioned as ispán (Latin: comes) of Somogy County in 1061.

[13] During the process, Otto handed over his landholdings, villages and manors with altogether 360 local resident servants, located in Somogy County, to the Benedictine abbey; prior to that he was granted these estates possibly by King Andrew I. György Györffy emphasized the territory once belonged to the late pretender Koppány.
