Báthory family
The Báthory family belonged to the "Gutkeled", a clan of Hungarian nobles, which traced its descent to the Swabian brothers "Gut" and "Kelad", who immigrated into Hungary from the castle "Stof" (probably Staufen im Breisgau or Hohenstaufen in Württemberg) during the reign of King Peter (reigned 1038–1046), who himself was partly of Venetian descent.
