Ivánka (II) from the kindred Hont-Pázmány (Hungarian: Hont-Pázmány nembeli (II.) Ivánka; died 1289) was a Hungarian noble in the second half of the 13th century. He served as Judge royal sometime in the 1280s.
Ivánka (II) was born into the Szeg branch of the wealthy and prestigious gens (clan) Hont-Pázmány.[1] This branch possessed three surrounding villages in Nyitra County called Malomszeg (present-day Lipová in Slovakia), Egyházszeg and Nagyszeg (today boroughs in Šurany, Slovakia). Ivánka's father was Ivahon (also known as Joachim or "Ivan de Szeg"). During the 1271 Hungarian–Bohemian War, Ivahon was captured when the army of Ottokar II of Bohemia besieged and occupied Nyitra Castle (Nitra), where Ivahon was among the defenders. Simultaneously, his lordship of Szeg was plundered and looted by the Bohemian troops. After his release following Ottokar's defeat, he was granted the village of Devecse (later Divékújfalu, present-day Diviacka Nová Ves in Slovakia) by Stephen V of Hungary for his loyal service and damage suffered still in that year.[2]
It is plausible that Ivahon died soon, because Ivánka requested the newly crowned Ladislaus IV of Hungary to confirm the aforementioned land donation in 1272.[2] Ivánka fought against the Bohemians in 1273, who again invaded the Kingdom of Hungary. He was present and seriously injured, when the Hungarian army recaptured Szombathely in August. He also participated in the successful military campaigns against Ottokar at Győr and Laa thereafter. He was granted the estate of Halla in Nyitra Country for his merits.[2]
