For his military service and merits, Joachim was granted lands in Slanje (today in Croatia) and Varaždin County. Four decades later, Béla IV of Hungary issued a royal charter in Győr on 23 June 1250, which became the only source of information on Joachim's military campaign. In the document, the king confirmed Thomas and Philip, the sons of the late Joachim, in their inherited paternal land possessions, describing the merits of the three members of the Türje kindred.[6] Joachim also participated in Andrew's military campaign against the Principality of Halych in 1211.[7] He acted as a pristaldus (royal commissioner or "bailiff") in 1214, when comes Nicholas was inducted into the ownership of the land of Lendva (present-day Lendava, Slovenia).[8]
