Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses three lawsuits between the nus of Óbuda and the Illésházi family for the possession of Újvásár village, which started probably shortly after 1360 and ended in 1380. The nus won and so they became the owners of the mentioned village until 1782. However, the final judgment contains some suspicious parts pointed out by the present paper. The lawsuits also provide useful information about the medieval genealogy of the Illésházis. The detailed examination of the sources has proved that the aforementioned noble family does not spring from the Salamon ‘generatio’ as thought by previous research.
