Epilógus
Comes terrestris Crisiensis. An introductory study tioned charter of 1343 which regarded the property rights and ownership of the Gušćerovac estate.85 Moreover, a charter which he issued in 1344 is extant.86 Comes John, son of Benedict, and of the Hegen Kindred held the office of comes terrestris twice, in 1367 and 1370. That he held the dignity for the first time is known from the charter he issued,87 and that he did the same in 1370 is known from the charter of the comes of Križevci, Peter Csirke.88 He is mentioned in the sources for the first time in 1344, when, together with his brothers, George and Peter, and many other members of the kindred, he gave permission to another member of the kindred, Skuden, son of Peter, to sell some of his lands.89 Later, in 1355, when a new owner, Paul, son of Greget, sold the same estate, John was mentioned as an immediate neighbour, this time without his brothers.90 In May 1370, a castle warrior of the Hegen kindred, Hegen, son of Mark, regained some of this estates.91 In November of the same year a castle warrior Andrew, son of Wlkina, in front of Comes Peter Csirke of Križevci raised a law suit regarding some estates, which were ab antecessoribus dicti Johannis comparate by Andrew. The arbiters chosen by the parties decided that Andrew was to return the estates to John, for four deniers, but that he would keep one third of the estate for the rest of his life.92 Comes terrestris John, called Hero, son of Benedict, recieves a mention in the sources in 1380. He is probably identical to this aforementioned John, despite the fact that on this occasion he is not mentioned in connection to his service. This may be supported by the fact that in 1377, John called Hero, former (condam) comes terrestris, is mentioned during an institution into the estate.93 Nothing is known about the next comes terrestris, George, son of John, except that he held the position, just like Andrew, son of Martin, his successor in the office.94 The last two comites terrestres of the fourteenthcentury were Nicholas, son of Gregory and Stephen, son of Peter called 85 13 September 1343 (CD 11, doc. 66; Anjou-oklt. 27, doc. 606). 86 20 March 1344 (Documenta 7). 87 9 March 1367 (Documenta 12). 88 5 November 1370 (CD 15, doc. 162). 89 20 March 1344 (Documenta 7). 90 28 November 1355 (Documenta 8). 91 7 May 1370 (CD 14, dok. 186). 92 5 November 1370 (HDA, DMV, no. 881; MNL OL, DF 219 397): idem Johannes filius Benedicti tertiam partem ipsius possessionis iamdicto Andree tamdiu consensit tenendo, donec ipse in hoc mundi stadio vitam suam duxerit. 93 13 January 1377 (Documenta 20). 94 Regarding George we only have one reference from 1372, when Duke Charles of Durazzo sent him a request to conduct an inquest (MNL OL, DL 41 868). 125
