Ampud, also Ampod (Latin: Ampudinus; died after 1199) was a baron in the Kingdom of Hungary in the late 12th century, who served as ispán of Szolnok County in 1199.
Ampud was born into an influential noble family, which possessed landholdings in Slavonia along the Drava river. His namesake father was Ampud, an illustrious military leader in the 1160–1170s.[1] Ampud II served as ispán of Szolnok County in 1199, during the reign of Emeric, King of Hungary. He succeeded Peter, son of Töre in this position. Ampud was replaced as ispán by Tiburtius Rosd still in that year.[2]
It is plausible Ampud and his wife belonged to the accompaniment of Duke Andrew in Croatia and Dalmatia, who ruled the province beyond the river Drava as a de facto sovereign monarch and constantly rebelled against his elder brother King Emeric throughout the latter's reign. Ampud either died or lost influence, after the monarch defeated Andrew's army near Lake Balaton in the summer of 1199.[1]
