|[[Stephen II Lackfi]], lord<ref>"''The main supporters of Zsigmond's party gathered together in Körösudvarhely.  In addition to the already named lords and companions of Zsigmond's journey abroad: Archbishop János Kanizsai, Miklós Garai, Count Hermann Cillei, there were also Miklós Treutel, Simon Szécsényi, László the son of Pál Garai, István Debrői, the counts of Corbavia and most of the nobility from Slavonia and Duna.  The Laczkfis and their companions also showed up, confident in the power of the royal letter of immunity, and with the hope that they would manage to clear themselves [from blames] and continue with duplicitous policies.  But the king prepared for bloody revenge against them, and since he could not initiate the legal process due to the letter of immunity, his followers undertook to carry out the work of vengeance.  During the deliberations, on February 27, on auspicious occasion, when the converted partisans appeared before the king without armed escort, the Hungarian lords loyal to Sigismund, including the Palatine himself, Miklós Garai and Cillei, grabbed swords and attacked them.  The two István Laczkfi bled to death under the blows of the lords' swords;  András Laczkfi was taken prisoner with several of his companions.  Those who were able to escape - we don't know[all of] their names - sought refuge in Bosnia. István Ördög also ran here, who had been kicked out of Szentgyörgy castle a few days before by the Archbishop of Esztergom, Miklós Szécsi and István Kanizsai.8"  '''Szilágyi : A magyar nemzet története.''''' https://mek.oszk.hu/00800/00893/html/</ref>
