Simon (Mikcs) Baksa, Tamás’s eldest son, is the critical link to the future Csapi family. He flourished between 1240 and 1261 and attained the rank of bán, underlining his high status. Simon Mikcs had a large family himself, and his children further branched out into various noble lineages of medieval Hungary. Notably, several of Simon’s sons became founders of new noble families.
Tamás (I) de Csapi (fl. *c.*1280–1284) – Son of Simon Micz Bán; the earliest documented Csapi ancestor purchases the town of Csap (now Chop, Ukraine), from the Bechegregor clan. In 1284, Tamás and his brothers received a royal grant of the estate Rát in Ung County as reward for their service (notably for fighting the Cumans). This established the family’s holdings in the northeast Carpathian region.
László (I) de Csapi (fl. *c.*1312–1320) – Son of Tamás. Served as főispán (county lord) of Zemplén County, indicating the family’s rising influence. He married the daughter of a nobleman (Bodon ispán). By the early 14th century the Csapi were among the leading gentry in Upper Hungary.
Tamás (II) “Dancs” de Csapi – Son of László I. Also referred to as Magister Donch. He succeeded his father as ispán of Patak, Zemplén, Liptó. He married Klára Tárkői, a noblewoman
András (Andrew) Csapy – A grandson or great-grandson of Tamás I (sources differ on exact placement). He is recorded as a royal courtier and in 1418 received a grant of arms from King Sigismund for distinguishing himself in battles against the Hussites. At the Council of Constance, Sigismund bestowed a joint coat-of-arms upon András Csapy along with members of the related Bocskai, Soós, Szerdahelyi, Szürthei, and Széchy families. This honor – which included membership and insignia in the Order of the Dragon – was a reward for their loyalty and military service (It formally acknowledged their common ancestry and noble status.) András’s coat-of-arms became the basis for the family’s Hungarian heraldry.
László Csapi, served as in the court of the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg’s court secretary and traveled to Rome in 1433 for the Emperor’s coronation. From 1431 – 1449 the Council of Basel hosted protracted negotiations between Emperor Sigismund and the Hussite (Czech) delegates from Bohemia in Basel Switzerland.
