About Michael Kacsics
Michael from the kindred Kacsics (, ; died after 1228) was a Hungarian distinguished nobleman from the gens Kacsics (KaÄiÄ). His parents' identity is unknown. His only brother was Simon Kacsics, ban of Slavonia in 1212. Michael had two sons, Leustach, ancestor of the ZagyvafĆi family, and Falkos, the first member of the Falkos branch and grandfather of Thomas SzĂ©csĂ©nyi. Through Falkos, Michael was forefather of the SzĂ©csĂ©nyi, Farkas de SzeszĂĄrma (LekĂ©r, Harina), Tompos de Libercse, RadĂł de Libercse and GerĂ©b de VingĂĄrt families.
Michael served as voivode of Transylvania between 1209 and 1212. Besides that he was also ispĂĄn (comes) of Bihar County in 1209. Michael was the first voivode to receive a land grant in the province of Transylvania, around 1210. However, these originally uninhabited lands along the upper courses of the river Maros (present-day MureÈ) were confiscated in 1228.
He was appointed ban of Slavonia in 1212, alongside his brother. Simon, along with Peter, son of Töre, played a decisive role in the murder of Queen Gertrude of Merania in 1213. Michael probably also took part in the preparation of the assassination.
