Thomas Vásári

Tamás; died after 1381) was a Hungarian nobleman in the 14th century, who served as ispán of Somogy County in 1371.

[1] Thomas is first mentioned by contemporary records in 1344, when his elder brother Nicholas, who resided in the papal court then, asked Pope Clement VI to permit him and his brothers, John, Thomas and Beke, to pilgrimage to the Holy Land with the accompaniment of each 10 persons.

[2] Nicholas applied for a similar request five years later, in March 1349, when asked the pope to authorize the confessor of his brothers, John and Thomas, to provide full forgiveness them on their death bed in the future.

[4] Following the extinction of the Felsőlendvai family in 1358, he was granted the castle of Rupoly (or Ropoly) and its surrounding lands (today part of Kaposvár) by Louis I.

[1] Some documents refer to Thomas Vásári as Ban of Croatia in 1367, but contemporary lists of grand officiers state, Kónya Szécsényi held the dignity during that time.

[6] It is presumable, Vásári was a familiaris of Szécsényi and acted as judge and arbitrator on his behalf, who died soon in that year.
