Demetrius I from the kindred Csák (Hungarian: Csák nembeli (I) Demeter; died after 1254) was a Hungarian baron, who held secular positions during the reign of kings Andrew II and Béla IV.
Career
Demetrius I belonged to the Ugod branch of Csák clan as the son of Luka. Possibly he had a brother Adam. From his unidentified wife, he had two sons (Ugod and Csák) and a daughter, who married Csépán II Győr, son of Palatine Csépán I Győr.[1]
He was loyal to King Andrew II. He served as Master of the stewards (Latin: senescalcus) for thirteen years between 1217 and 1230.[2] Beside that he was also ispán of Vas County from 1219 to 1222.[3] He participated in the Fifth Crusade under the command of Andrew II between 1217 and 1218.[4] Returning home, he governed Pozsony County from 1224 to 1229.[5] After 1230, he became a supporter of Duke Béla.[4] He was appointed Judge royal in 1232 and held that dignity until 1234.[6] He was also ispán of Bács County during that time, from 1233 to 1234.[7]
From 1238 to 1241, now during the reign of Béla IV, he served as ispán of Csanád County.[8] He was appointed Judge royal for the second time in 1242 and held the office until 1244, however according to non-authentic royal charters he was Judge royal still in 1245 and 1246.[9] During that time, he also functioned as head of Moson County.[10] According to a non-authentic diploma, he served as Judge royal and ispán of Bodrog County in 1246.[9] He died after 1254.
