Nepotizmus v správe Spišskej stolice v rokoch 1711 – 1785
Nepotism in the administration of the County of Spiš in the period 1711 – 1785

Summary/Abstract: The study is devoted to the creation of nepotistic ties between individual officials in the administration of the County of Spiš (Comitatus Scepusiensis, Szepes vármegye, Zipser Gespannschaft, Spišská stolica). In comparison with the County of Liptov, the ties between officials in Spiš were usually not on the level of cousin, uncle, nephew, son-in-law, brother-in-law or god-son. On the basis of the surviving registers, it is possible to conclude that the system of ecclesiastical officials also did not develop in Spiš in a similar way to that in Liptov. These phenomena were clearly connected with the lack of a firm marriage alliance between the Görgey and Máriássy families, which were comparable to the two firmly allied Liptov families: the Okolicsányis and Szentiványis. The only deputy sheriff of Spiš to systematically build up a network of relations was Stephen Máriássy.
