Paul from the kindred Tibold (Hungarian: Tibold nembeli Pál; died 1330 or 1331), was a Hungarian nobleman in the early 14th century, who was active in Slavonia during the era of feudal anarchy. As a familiaris of Mikcs Ákos, he was a supporter of Charles I of Hungary until Paul betrayed the king for unknown reasons.
Paul was born into the gens (clan) Tibold, which arrived to the Hungary in the late 10th century and later acquired possessions in Slavonia too. His father was Mihalc, whose parentage is uncertain. Hungarian historian János Karácsonyi considered Mihalc was the son of Petke (a diminutive form of Peter), because of the frequent use of the name Peter in his branch.[1] Nevertheless, Croatian historian Vjekoslav Klaić presented a document which implies that Grab and Demetrius (I) were the sons of Petke.[2] Tamás Pálosfalvi argued that Petke was given no portion in Szencse lordship in Križevci County (present-day Novska, Croatia) during the division of estates within the kindred in 1231, while Mihalc's descendants were landowners there.[3]
Paul had two brothers, Peter (I) and Nicholas (II). The former died before 1332 and a lesser branch of the Szencsei (Svetački) family descended from him.[4]
