Peter (II) from the kindred Tétény (Template:Lang-hu; died after 1283) was a Hungarian baron in the second half of the 13th century, who served as Ban of Slavonia three times (1279–1280, 1280 and 1283). He was a faithful confidant of King Ladislaus IV of Hungary in his fight against the oligarchic domains. Peter was forefather of the Pekri (or Pekry) noble family.
Ancestry
Peter II was born into the gens (clan) Tétény as one of the sons of Benedict. He had two brothers Paul and Kemény.[1] The Tétény clan was one of the most powerful clans in the first third of the 13th century, during the reign of Andrew II of Hungary. They possessed extensive landholdings in Slavonia. However, when Béla IV, who had long opposed father's political and economic reforms, ascended the Hungarian throne in 1235, they became disgraced and the overwhelming majority of their lands were confiscated. The Tétény clan disappeared from contemporary records for the upcoming four decades.[2]
Early career
Sometime around 1270, Peter entered the service of the powerful lord Joachim Gutkeled, who served as Ban of Slavonia from that year and was a central figure of the 1270s civil wars and feudal anarchy.[3] Under Joachim's command, Peter took part in the Bohemian–Hungarian war in the spring of 1273, when King Ottokar II of Bohemia invaded Northern Hungary. Peter was present in the recapture of Győr and Szombathely in August, and also fought in the successful attack at Nagyszombat (today Trnava, Slovakia), where the town was recovered during the second phase of Ottokar's invasion in the autumn of 1273.[4]
During the 1270s internal conflict under the minor Ladislaus' reign, Peter belonged to the Kőszegi–Gutkeled baronial group, which fought for the supreme power and political control over the royal council against the Csák–Aba faction.[3] As a familiaris of Joachim Gutkeled, Peter participated in the clashes with the Babonići, who threatened Joachim's territorial domain in Slavonia. The Babonići rose up in rebellion in Slavonia in early 1277. Although the Hungarian royal army was able to suppress the rebellion by August 1277, where Peter also participated, but his lord Joachim Gutkeled was killed in a battle in April 1277 and his oligarchic domain quickly disintegrated due to the partition agreements between the Kőszegis and the Babonići.[3]
Ban of Slavonia
Peter Tétény was installed Ban of Slavonia in the second half of 1279, succeeding Nicholas Gutkeled.[5] According to Croatian historian Antun Nekić, Peter's political ascension took place because the Csáks, who dominated the royal council since 1277 decided to deprive the Gutkeleds from power for unknown reasons sometime after July 1279, despite their temporary alliance against the Kőszegis which was concluded after Joachim's death. It is possible that Peter left the allegiance of the Gutkeleds during that time and swore loyalty to the Csák kindred.[6] In contrast, historian Attila Zsoldos considered Ladislaus IV, who was declared to be of age in May 1277, pursued an active and independent policy in the years 1277–1279, and Peter was able to rise to the narrow elite of the realm, because he faithfully supported the monarch against papal legate Philip, Bishop of Fermo over the Cuman question. Ladislaus appointed nobles who had been neglected until now to the court positions, including Peter Tétény, Lawrence Aba and Apor Péc.[7]
Peter is first referred to as Ban of Slavonia on the last day of 1279.[5] He presided over a general assembly (congregatio generalis) of the realm of Slavonia (regni Sclavonie) during that time, where he confirmed some of their previous privileges to brothers Pousa and Gecse Türje.[8]
