Zsigmond Pogány de Cséb (1464-1526) - Supremus Comes (főispán/ispán) of Máramaros and Zala. Between 1493 and 1495 he was ispán of the salt chamber of Máramaros and in 1495, Zsigmond together with his cousin Peter, received the inheritance of Thomas of Úrmez in the county of Máramaros. Three years later it was his cousin Peter Pogány de Cseb who took into pledge from duke Corvin the castle of Hunyad or Corvin Castle. Before 1503 Zsigmond obtained the castle of Kövesd in the county of Zemplén, and in 1504 he took into pledge for the enormous sum of 2400 florins the estates of Gerard Tibai of Nagymihály (Mihalovce/Vinné, SL), with the two castles of Nagymihály and Bukovc, in the counties of Zemplén and Ung. Zsigmond was rewarded with further possessions after the suppression of the peasant rising of 1514. In 1518 he took into pledge lands in the three counties of Bereg, Szabolcs and Abaúj. In 1522 Paul Várdai, bishop of Veszprém, and royal treasurer, pledged to him half of his bishopric, the castles of Veszprém and Sümeg comprised, in return for the enormous sum of 6300 florins which he owed to him as ispán of the salt chamber of Máramaros. Zsigmond also acquired somehow half of the village of (Tápió)szentmárton in the county of Pest, which he donated in 1525 to Stephen Verbci. A necessary consequence of all these offices and land acquisitions was that Zsigmond was permanently absent from his Slavonian estates. In May 1491, his cousin Peter, took over the important castle of Pressburg together with the county itself. The castle had originally belonged to duke Corvin by right of pledge, but he alienated it by the same right to Pogány and another ducal familiaris, John Bikli. After the death of Peter Pogány it was held for some time by his cousins, Zsigmond, George and John, until it was eventually redeemed for the king by Ambrose Sárkány for 8000 florins. In 1526 it was in the contingent of ban Francis Battyányi, that is, as a member of the Slavonian nobility, that he arrived to the royal army at Mohács, and finished his life in the battle.
