Biography

Dominic belonged to the Miskolc kindred. He was the first known member of his clan's Borsmonostor branch. According to a royal charter, he was also a relative of Béla III of Hungary and the Árpád dynasty, as well Peter, Bishop of Győr. He had two children from his unidentified wife; Bors and a daughter Elizabeth, who married ispán Sebes Hont-Pázmány and thus they were the ascendants of the Count Szentgyörgyi family.^[1]

During the reign of Béla III, he served as Judge royal from 1188 to 1193,^[2] beside that he was also ispán of Bodrog County between 1192 and 1193.^[3] In 1187, Dominic had pledged to participate in a crusade to the Holy Land, but for some reason, he was unable to fulfill his vow, therefore in exchange for redemption, he founded a Cistercian monastery in Klostermarienberg (today part of Mannersdorf an der Rabnitz, Austria) in 1194 and he also donated eight villages to the newly established monastery, which belonged to the authority of Heiligenkreuz Abbey since 1198.^[1] From 1194 to 1195, he functioned as Ban of Slavonia, albeit according to non-authentic charters he already had held the office since 1193.^[4] He died between 1195 and 1207.^[1]
