Mika (I) from the kindred Ják (Hungarian: Ják nembeli (I) Mika; died after 1202) was a Hungarian influential lord in the Kingdom of Hungary at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries.[1]

Family

Mika (also Mike or Michael) belonged to the gens Ják, he was the first known member of the Jákmonostor branch. He had at least two children from his unidentified wife: Csépán I, who served as Ban of Slavonia from 1206 to 1207[2] and died without heirs, as his only son Stephen became a monk, giving up his secular life and family name. Mika's second son Ivan had two sons (Martin I and James) thus the later members of the Jákmonostor branch descended from him.[3] Mika founded the Pornó Abbey but the monastery itself was finished only by his son Csépán.[1]

Career

He served as

Latin: curialis comes), replacing Peter, son of Töre.[7]

When

ex officio ispánate of the Palatine dignity,[10] and after that head of Bihar County (1200–1201).[6] According to a non-authentic charter, Mika held the office of Palatine until 1202.[11] As historian Attila Zsoldos proves by comparing with the previous allegations, Palatine Mika was not identical with his namesake, who served as ispán of Bihar County for several times in the 1210–20s.[12]
