The Family Tompa as a Part of Lesser Nobility from Lipnik in the 17th Century
Goranka Kreačič
Sažetak
In the article we propose a hypothesis that the members of the Tompa family of Horzowa and Tompa of Palychna were descendants of one family, which was divided according to the following principle: descendants from the first marriage used the nobiliary particle (germ. adelsprädikat, cro. plemićki pridjevak)) of Horzowa, whereas the descendants from the second marriage that of Palychna. We show this with two undoubtable examples. In other way, similar practice has not been observed in other families and one could postulate that during different periods of time members of the same family used different nobiliary particles. The first one is that Nicholas, the son of Melchior Tompa of Horzowa and Helena Forčić of Butinavac, is mentioned in several documents as Nicholas Tompa of Horzowa, as well as Georg, the second Melchior’s son is mentioned as George Tompa of Horzowa. However, Stephan, Melchior’s son from the second marriage with Josipina Orešković used the nobiliary particle of Palychna. Although some questions related to the Stephan’s identity remain unanswered, we know that this Stephen had a son Peter Tompa of Palychna. According to the hypothesis, we concluded that Peter was also from the second marriage. With a help from documents from the Tompa family papers in the Croatian State Archives we found information that Stephen Tompa of Palychna was first married to Katarina Radojčić Delišimunović. According to Wurzbach this Stephen was married to Karolina of Apoky. If Katarina was Stephen’s second wife, than he had with her a son Peter, who used, as we know from the documents, the predicate of Palychna. In the beginning of the 17th century we find Stephen Tompa on the estates around the river Kupa, Breznik, Lipnik in Bratovanci, later Bubnjarci, Paka, Pravutina, and Jankovrh with Sopčić selo. As petty nobility from Lipnik, the family Tompa stayed there the next 200 years when around 1803 the branch of Horzowa moved to Sredičko, and later to the Velika Mlaka. From there the descendants of Aleksandar Tompa of Horzowa moved to Zagreb, where this male line ceased to exist in mid of 20th century. From the analysis of marriages of the members of the Tompa family we conclude that their marriage bonds were in major part with the members of the local lesser nobility, who were forced to displace from their old estates due to Turks threats. These families then settled in more safe areas such as Zagorje, broader vicinity of Zagreb and Žumberak, and became the familiars (vassals) of magnates or the officers of the Vojna Krajina (the Military Frontier). They were the families Radojčić (Radoychich, also known as Delišimunović), Čolnić, Szilly, de Apoky, Femenić (Femen alias Hubetić), Maršanić, Malić and Farkašić, later in the 18th and 19th century the families Rottman, Mandić, Vukmanić, the barons Cirhemb (freiherren of Zirheimb), Kriegler, Benedy, Vranyczany-Dobrinović, Apoka-Potaky, Tanczoss de Galantha, Malloschegg, Dočkal, Tomac, Krizman, Garić, Molinari and Cvijić.
