Matthew III Csák
The first member of the family establishing himself in the Kingdom of Hungary was Philip Drugeth () ( 1288–1327) who accompanied the future King Charles I from the Kingdom of Naples to Hungary in 1300. He took part in the king's military campaigns against his opponents and the rebelling aristocrats. He led the king's armies, in 1317, against the rebellious Peter, son of Petenye (who possessed several castles in Zemplén county) and in 1320, against Matthew III Csák. He was the head "(ispán)" of the Counties Szepes (1315–1327), Abaúj (1317–1327), Gömör and Torna (1320–1327), establishing a large contiguous province in Northeast Hungary. Philipp was the Master of the Queen's Treasury "(királynéi tárnokmester)" between 1321 and 1327, when King Charles appointed him to Palatine "(nádor)"; he hold the latter office until his death. King Charles granted him the possession of the Castles Barkó (), Jeszenő (), Lubló (), Palocsa (), Szokoly () and Terebes ().
