Szolnok (genus)

He was entrusted to build a castle (hillfort) at the confluence of the Tisza and Zagyva rivers, where he already possessed lands, which area was the crossroads of several trade routes (including salt from Transylvania).

He, along with Petrud and Bikács, betrayed his lord just before the Battle of Kemej in February 1074, where King Solomon's troops routed Géza's army.

It is possible that the Szentiványi, Tabajdi, Vanyarci, Szajoli, Mikebudai, Irsai, Nagyrévi, Vértesi, Sápi, Gyürki and Péteri families, which possessed portions in the surrounding lands, were all descended from the Szolnok clan.

Three families – 1, comes Pázmány and his brother Szolnok (I); 2, Tenyő and his cousins, Gotthard, Alexander and Pousa (I); 3, Paul (I), son of Gera – divided their village Bágyon among themselves in 1260.

[4] This data clearly shows that the genus had until now an extensive kinship, which led to the fragmentation of the lands and thus to the complete cessation of political influence.

Her husband Ivan, son of Csernete sold the estate to Paul Gutai, thus part of the village was no longer in the hands of the Szolnok kindred.
