Notable members of the family

Thomas Szécsényi (cca. 1285-1354), the son of Farkas Szécsényi, joined King Charles I against the powerful Máté Csák in 1301; therefore, his relatives who followed Máté Csák occupied his inherited possessions in Nógrád county. He fought at the Battle of Rozgony/Rozhanovce (15 June 1312) when the king's armies defeated the allied troops of Máté Csák and Amade Aba's sons. Shortly afterwards, the king granted Thomas the possession of Hollókő that had been confiscated from his relatives. In 1316, he occupied the Visegrád Castle from Máté Csák. He became the head "(ispán)" of Arad, Bács and Szerém counties (1318) and the Magistrate of the Cumans (1319). In 1320, he was appointed to the Master of the Queen's Treasury "(királynéi tárnokmester)". Around that time, he married one of Queen Elisabeth's relatives, Anna of Oświęcim as his second wife. Following Máté Csák's death (1321), the king granted him several castles and possessions in Heves, Gömör and Nógrád counties; thus, he received Ajnácskő (today "Hajnáčka" in Slovakia) , Baglyaskő, Bene, Somoskő (today "Šomoška" in Slovakia) and Sztrahora Castles. In the same year, he became the Voivode of Transylvania. He supressed the rebellion of the Transylvanian Saxons (1324) and the king granted him Salgó Castle (today "Sibiel" in Romania). In 1342, he was appointed to the office of Master of the King's Treasury "(tárnokmester)" and in 1349, he became the High Justiciar of the Kingdom "(országbíró)".
