The Lipthay de Kisfalud et Lubelle family (Roman Catholics) members of the Hungarian ancient ministerial nobility, had its origin in the 13th century, in 1248, when King Béla IV of Hungary granted land to the Miloth – son of Bosin - who was the only ancestor of the Lipthay de Kisfalud et Lubelle family surviving the battle of Muhi of 11 April, 1241. Zaád, grandson of Bosin, in year 1341, exchanged his inheritance with King Charles I of Hungary for Lubelle in Liptó County, property remaining until 1945 in hands of noble branches of the family. In 1435, the family name of the great-grandson of Zaád, Bálint I was Lipthay de Lubelle. His descendants, in 1465, granted with land by King Mathias Corvinus I at Kisfalud, in Nógrád County, were adding the name of the place to the family’s last name. Out the flourishing noble branches of the family, two lines got the hereditary title of baron. The eldest baron’s line, until 1945 at their domain of Lovrin, in Temes County, property granted to the family per Royal Decree on 4 April 1791, where bestowed with the hereditary title of Baron with membership right at the Upper House, forwarded in Vienna by Emperor Francis I and King of Hungary, to Frigyes, son of Field-Marshall Antal Lipthay de Kisfalud et Lubelle, Knight of the Maria Therese Military Order, on 11th June 1830, and ratified in 1886. The second title of baron, without membership right in the Upper House, was forwarded by King Charles IV in Reichenau on 13 October 1917 to Béla, Royal Counsel, and to his brother Gyula, Officer of the Imperial and Royal Army, both of the younger line of the Lipthay de Kisfalud et Lubelle. The youngest baron’s line, after passing away in combat of István on 30 August 1942, has expired in its male line. The eldest baron’s line and noble branches are still flourishing. (End)
