Family tree
The Hahóti family originated from the Arnold branch of the notable gens Hahót. According to the fourteenth-century chronicle composition, the founder of the kindred, knight Hahold descended from the Counts of Orlamünde, arriving to Hungary in 1163 upon the invitation of Stephen III to help to defeat the rebelled Csák kindred.[1] Hahold's great-grandson Keled (or Cletus) served as Vice-ban of Slavonia in 1234. He had two children Keled II and Violant.
Keled II was involved in a lengthy lawsuit with some members of Ják clan – the sons of Ebed, ancestors of the Niczky family – sometime between 1267 and 1270, for unknown reasons. Béla IV of Hungary also ordered his arrest. Subsequently, the litigants reached an out-of-court settlement through the mediation of Lawrence Aba, the ispán of Sopron County, and his five co-judges. Keled had to pay 25 marks as a compensation and sentenced to 25-day imprisonment to the Vasvár prison.[2] Keled was mentioned as a "royal man" in 1275. He is considered as the first member of the Hahóti family, descended from the Arnold branch, as a royal charter from 1277 referred to him as Hahóti (lit. "of Hahót").[3] During that time, he inherited a part of Nick from his kindred and involved in a lawsuit against the Ják clan and his own cousin, Nicholas III Hahót.
The last male member of the family John died in 1376 without heirs. On 13 March 1377, King Louis I of Hungary granted the status of a son to his only daughter Anne who married Nicholas de Surdis (or Lipoveci), a nephew of John de Surdis, Archbishop of Esztergom. The members of the Söjtöri (or also Hahóti) family protested against the method and filed a lawsuit in the royal court, without success.[4]
