Jakob Meskó from Széplak and Enyiczke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jakob Meskó von Széplak and Enyiczke (* 1713 ; † 1797 ) was a Hungarian baron and landlord.

origin

The Meskó family came from the lower nobility or official nobility of Upper Hungary , today's Slovakia. Their story becomes tangible at the end of the 17th century with the brothers Adam and Jakob Meskó, who were awarded the title of Hungarian baron in July 1721. While Adam had his possessions in western Hungary's Ödenburg County, his brother Jakob's goods were concentrated in Upper Hungary, today's Slovakia. In 1717 he acquired the place Széplak, today Krásna nad Hornádom, a district of Košice in eastern Slovakia, which is why the family called themselves Meskó von Széplak from then on . In 1744 Jacob's wife Barbara, at that time already widowed, was supposed to buy Enyiczke - today Haniska , around 13 km from Košice - from Prince Lobkowitz . Thus this line of Meskós was called from 1744 by Széplak and Enyiczke. Like his brother Adam, Jakob Meskó was a lawyer and worked in the Hungarian state administration and the Hungarian court chamber; in 1713 he was court chamber councilor there. In 1716 his official title was trainee lawyer for the Kingdom of Hungary ( pro Regno Hungariae Referendarius etc. ) . In 1733 Jakob Meskó was the Royal Councilor. He died in 1740.

family

Baron Jakob Meskó von Széplak and Enyiczke was the son of the founder of the Upper Hungarian line of the Meskós, Jakob Meskó, and the Barbara Hegymeghy. He was married twice, his first marriage to Baroness Anna Joanelli (also Ivanelli) and his second marriage to Countess Rosalia Dezsewffy.

Church foundations

Jakob Meskó von Széplak and Enyiczke appeared as the founder of church buildings. In 1760 he initiated the construction of the St. John of Nepomuk Church in Enyiczke. In 1768 he financed the new construction of the St. Joachim and Anna church in Hernád-Némethi near Miskolc. In 1783 he paid for the construction of the St. Barbara church in Hilyó near Košice.

Heir to Eva Maria Starhemberg

When his very old and very wealthy cousin Eva Maria Starhemberg, born Meskó, the childless last representative of the west Hungarian line of the Meskós, died on March 24th, 1772, he became the heir of their possessions, above all from Nikitsch with the fort Gálosháza, the town and castle Draßburg and the Palais Meskó in Ödenburg.

death

Jakob Meskó von Széplak and Enyiczke died very old in 1797 and was buried in the Nikitsch crypt chapel of the Meskós, where his elaborate late baroque tombstone has been preserved to this day. On May 11, 1798, his son donated the stately sum of 640 guilders for an annual requiem to the Dominicans in Košice for the deceased Baron Jakob Meskó.
