The ten-lanced nobles ( Hungarian: tízlándzsások), also Szepes lancers, Spiš lancers, or lance-bearers of Szepes (szepesi lándzsásnemesek) were group of conditional noblemen living in the Szepes region of the Kingdom of Hungary (present-day Spiš in Slovakia). [1] These nobles were previously part of the contingent assigned with border guard duties in the periphery of the conquered territories in the region. [2] In the thirteenth century, some of these groups were officially integrated into the Hungarian nobility. [3] They received their privileges from King Béla IV of Hungary in 1243. [4] They were obliged to equip ten knights or lancers. [5] They were not subject to the authority of the ispán (or head) of Szepes County and tax was collected from them only if the " royal servants" (or noblemen) were also required to pay it. [2] Initially, they formed about 40 families, but their number decreased to less than 20 families by the 16th century. [6] They lost their special status in 1804. [6]
