The House of Garay or Garai ( Croatian: Gorjanski) was a Hungarian-Croatian noble family, a branch of the Dorozsma (Durusma) clan, with notable members in the 14th and 15th centuries. They were lords of Csesznek.
The family was descended from the Dorozsma kindred. [1] Béla, Duke of Slavonia, granted the eponymous domain of Gara in Valkó County (now Gorjani in Croatia) to Comes John and his brother, Stephen, in 1269. [2] The charter of grant mentioned that Stephen was the duke's swordbearer. [2] Stephen's sons, Andrew and Paul, were the ancestors of the two branches of the family. [3]
Andrew, the founder of the "Palatine" branch, did not hold offices. [2] He married an unnamed daughter of Ladislaus Nevnai and Yolanda Kórógyi. [4] Nevnai held estates in Valkó and Pozsega Counties. [4] Andrew fathered two sons, Nicholas and Paul, but the latter died young. [2] Their maternal grandmother bequeathed her estates in Baranya County to them. [4]
Andrew's brother, Paul, founded the "Bánfi" branch of the family. [4]
Nicholas I Garai (Croatian: Nikola I Gorjanski, Hungarian: Garai Miklós I), the chief governor of Pressburg, was a palatine to the King of Hungary (1375–1385). He was killed in 1386.
