194 Z. Soós-R. Bakonyi rebellion of László Kán’s sons - (Kristó 2000, 722.r). The Talmácsi family was a wealthy Saxon family that had estates around Sibiu (Köpeczi 1986, 333), and after a short time, in 1340 it died out probably with Miklós’s death (Engel 1996,236). However Miklós’s heirs appear in the sources also later. A charter from 1324 tells the name of Miklós’s sister and brother-in-law. The first was Katalin, and her husband was Geréb Peter, son of Mihály, (DL. 2227), according to later data more precisely Peter Cseh, (DL. 1979), the founder of the powerful Geréb of Vingárt family (Köpeczi 1986, 323).

The priest of the church, Kuczmann payed first 7 ancient banals, then 3 ancient banals again, and in 1333 1 copper, (Léstyán 2000, 156; Várszegi-Zombori 2000, 107, 109), so one can assume that a church had already existed that time. The next data is from 1364, when the name of Geréb János of Disznajó, son of Peter Cseh appears in a charter (DL. 1979). In 1411 Margit, the widow of vice-voivode János Váradjai, who is the daughter of János Geréb of Vingárt protests against her brother János Geréb II, who sold all the inheritance, like her house, vineyard, mill, fields and pasture in Välenii de Mure§ against her will - “Omnes hereditates, puta domos, vineas, molendina, terras arabiles et prata, eisdem Kelnek et Dyznnioyo” (Mályusz-Borsa 1993, 780.r., Köpeczi 1986, 323). After 1411 there are no data in the sources about the Geréb family. Until the end of the 15th century only the Losonci Dezsőfi family appears in the charters as the owner of Välenii de Mure§. It is not known how they got back this estate, maybe through a marriage, but it is also possible that they were owners too from the beginning of the 14th century beside Miklós Talmácsi and his heirs, nevertheless the family was not mentioned in the written sources from 1319. Some sources show that they probably had a residence in Välenii de Mure§ in the 15th century. Voivode Dezső Losonci (died 1456) probably often stood in Välenii de Mure$, because he dated a few letters from here in 1436, (DL. 74067) and in 1439 (DL. 44283), and he
