Milos, I think I understand your modesty in this statement. However, I think you should think about the actual dispersement of the family name. It is after all a very unique name indeed. It is not however, a rare family name in history, not as major players but as pawns in political history of the region that spans from perhaps Sicily to the wall of tears over many centuries of time. Minci- forgive me but to illustrate my point I am compelled to share for Viktor's benefit as well as Milos' to invoke the pride of the Leporis family fortitude. I don't intend to be overly dramatic or to be contrary. However, the more I learn about my families history the more passionately I love them and am grateful for them. I have learned a great deal of the sacrifices they have made and without them we would not be here today, regardless of our first hand knowledge of each other, we share the benefits of their efforts to insure the survival of the family. There are no less than nineteen individual Leporis found on the hand written family tree that go back to one Leporis in present day Slovakia that can attribute to our survival. May God bless them....
Zayech Zajecz (hazai tótjainknál: zajácz) a szláv nyelvben annyit jelent, mint nyul és ez magyarázza meg Zayech Vilmos családi hovatartozandóságát. Nyul németben hase s így magyarázható, hogy a Zajecz nevü családbeliek a mindenkori viszonyokhoz képest vagy a latin lepus-t, vagy a német hase-t használtak, de használtak a "Hasenburgi" előnevet is. Zsigmond király megigéri 1414 jan. 16-án, hogy Has Vilmosnak a tőle kapott 1000 aranyt okt. 16-ikáig megfizeti. 1419 jan. 16-án Hasenburgi Vilmos egyike azon követeknek, kiknek febr.9-én a szkaliczi gyülésen a hussziták ügyében kellett megjelenniök. A király 1420 jun. 29-én Hasenburgi Vilmosnak 3000 schock garas fejében Komotau és Blatna nevü cseh helségeket adja. 1423-ban ezen Vilmos, mint "Wilhelm Hasz von Waldecke herre zu der Sclewitz" szerepel. 1428 szept. 8-án hasenburgi Has Vilmos Csehország főkonyhamestere. Azon követek között, kik 1448 aug. havában Frigyes császártól menedéklevelet kapnak, vannak Nicolaus at Sbynko Lepori (=Lepus) de Hasenburg is. 1458 máj. 6-án Zbinco Leporis de Hazunburg a cseh országbiró.
Zayech Zajecz (in Slovak: zajácz) means hare in the Slav language and this explains Zayech William's family origins. In German hare is hase which can also explain that the Zajecz named family members, in the prevailing custom of the time, used the latin lepus or the german hase as well as the prename "Hasenburg". King Sigismund promises on 16 January 1414 to repay by October 16 Has William the 1000 gold pieces he received from him. On 16 January 1419 Hasenburg William is one of the emissaries attending the Szkalicz assembly on behalf of the Hussites. On 29 June 1420 the king gives Hasenburg William the Czech settlements of Komotau and Blatna for 3000 groats. In 1423 this William appears as 'Wilhelm Has von Waldecke master of Sclewitz'. On 8 September 1428 hasenburg Has William is the head chef? of the Czech land. (This is a literal translation which I don't think is correct, It is more likely to mean that he had a leading role at the royal court or something similar.) Amongst the emissaries who in August 1448 received letters of safe conduct from Emperor Frederick, are Nicolaus and Zbynko Lepori (Lepus) de Hasenburg. On 6 May 1458 Zbinco Leporis de Hasenburg was the Czech Lord Chief Justice. |
