The Kubinyi family is one of the oldest Hungarian noble houses. The earliest securely documented member of the family was Ithe, a wealthy Hungarian nobleman, although the historian Horvát István identified him as the son of Hudkont. According to Horvát, Hudkont lived during the reign of King Andrew II and, in 1233, was granted the estate of Reucha in Liptó County by the king in recognition of his faithful service from his earliest youth, as stated in the royal charter of donation.[1]

The family held extensive estates throughout the Kingdom of Hungary, including the lordships and castles of Gedő, Zagyvafő, Damásd, Pata, Ajnácskő, Deregnyő, and, for a brief period, Saskő. In addition, they possessed substantial estates in the counties of Somogy, Zala, Pest, and Nógrád.

House of Kubinyi during the Campaigns of Louis the Great

Salamon I of the Kubinyi family was a fourteenth-century Hungarian nobleman. Contemporary sources referred to him as literatus de Felsew-Kwbyn (“Salamon, the learned man of Felső-Kubin”). The designation literatus indicated his education and familiarity with the legal and administrative practices of the period.[2][3]

Salamon was active during the reign of Louis I of Hungary (r. 1342–1382) and participated in a number of the king's military campaigns in Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe. In 1354, he commanded royal forces in Ruthenia, where Hungary, Poland, and Lithuania competed for control and influence over territories including Halych and Volhynia. Salamon is recorded as having besieged and captured Halych during the campaign.[4]

The Magnate conspiracy (Wesselényi-összeesküvés )

The Kubinyi family was among the twelve noble houses that played a leading role in organizing the Magnate Uprising of 1670. On 9 April 1670, IV. Kubinyi László joined the gathering at the castle of I. Rákóczi Francis in Sárospatak. The assembly served as a council of war, during which the participants coordinated their opposition to Habsburg rule and laid the foundations for the armed uprising that followed. The families in attendance were Bocskay, Kubinyi, Szuhay, Szepesy, Bornemisza, Forgách, Csérnél, Marczibányi, Komjáthy, Fáy, Kazinczy, Barkó, and Rády.[5]
