History
First written mention of the village from 1289. King László IV dated a charter during a campaign in this year. It is supposed that the Fortress of Ugod still existed at that time but it is doubtful. Because that charter dated "in Ugod" instead of "in Ugod fortress" or "under Ugod fortress" as usual at that time.
During
Árpád Dinasty Ugod was the part of Bakony Erdőispánság.Ispán is the ruler of the territory. King ppStephen V [ signed Csák Lukács's son Demeter and his posteriors to be forever ispán of that territory and allowed him to build fortress.Csák family was relative to the dinasty. Their origin is from the
Honfoglalás (settlement of the Magyars). Due to Anonymus andKépes Krónika Csák was the son of Chief Előd's great-grandcild Szabolcs. From that Csák is the family originated. That family was streamed to 12 arm. One of them called ugodi. That arms's erliest known member was Csák Lukács. In this family the name Ugrin (means Hungarian man) was very popular. One form of that name with diminutive -d is Ugod.That was the name of Demeter's son or grandson, who after the village is nominated.
