Vincent (also Bencenc; Latin: Bencentius) was born into the gens (clan) Báncsa, an original settler family from Bács County (today Bač, Serbia).
[1] Vincent had at least two siblings: Stephen I, an influential prelate in the mid-13th century, who became the first Hungarian cardinal in history, and the kindred reached its peak under his guidance; Peter, ancestor of the Horváti family; and a possible another brother (Denis?)
[2] The name of Vincent first appeared in contemporary sources in October 1243, when the cathedral chapter of Pécs issued a document about a land contract of Orywa in Požega County.
[4] In 1253, Vincent and his brother Peter together participated in the determination of borders of the land Apáti, which belonged to the Garamszentbenedek Abbey.
Vincent and Peter built the Saskő Castle (today Šášovský hrad in Slovakia) along the river Garam (Hron) for the reason to become a taxing place and to protect the local highway from the outlaws.
