Bogátradvány (genus)

Bogátradvány (Bogát-Radván, Bogát-Radvány) was the name of a gens (Latin for "clan"; nemzetség in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary. The powerful Rákóczi family ascended from this genus.

The Cseleji, Dobi, Körtvélyessy, Hosszúmezei, Lukács, Morvay, Osvald, Posai, Bekecs and Isépy families also originated from the gens Bogátradvány.

Origins
Lászlo Makkai, a Hungarian historian, through his work, Transylvania in the Medieval Hungarian Kingdom (896-1526), mentions the tribes regarding Bogát (Bugat rex) as a Gyula of the Magyar tribal confederation. Supporting the writings of Simon of Kéza, that the Bogátradvány Clan, being of Bohemian origins, means that the origin is the Keszi tribe. Simon of Kéza explains the origins of the Bogátradvány Clan are during Migration Period, as the tribe of Keszi settled in the East during the Hungarian conquests in Europe. The family of Bogát has its origins somewhere in the 300s Eastern Europe within the ruling family of the tribe of Keszi, one of the seven Magyar tribes.
