Family and career

Roland III was born into the influential and prestigious gens (clan) Rátót, as the son of Roland II, who served as Palatine of Hungary at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. He had three brothers. The eldest one, Desiderius II was the ancestor of the Jolsvai (previously Gedei) noble family, which became extinct in 1427. His another brother Leustach IV succeeded Roland as ispán after his death. The third brother, Stephen III was mentioned only once in 1321.[1] Roland III married an unidentified daughter of Stephen II Csák, a notable soldier and key supporter of Charles in the 1300s. They had no children.[2]

The brothers first appear in contemporary records in 1321. Despite their father was an important confidant of Charles until his death in 1307, his sons Roland III and Leustach IV did not elevate into the group of barons.[3] Roland III was first referred to as ispán of Sopron and Vas counties (which two dignities were combined since 1330) in November 1333.[4] He owned the castle of Kőszeg as a "honor", while he held both offices.[5] Roland was last mentioned as a living person in May 1336. He died by November in that year.[4]
