context_page_description: Keglević or Keglevich is a Croatian noble family originally from Dalmatia, whose members were prominent public citizens and military officers. The Keglevićs were patrons of the arts and were holders of the rights of patronage over churches and parishes.
  The first known ancestor was Peter de genere Percal, a castle lord, who was mentioned in a supreme court verdict in Dalmatia about the right to judge a case concerning grazing rights in a village in the year 1322. Peter was mentioned as a son of Budislav de genere Percal and as a brother of Jakob de genere Percal, and his family was explicitly called nostra nobilissima familia.
context_section_description: Stephanos Keglevich de Porychane was mentioned in 1386 as "Stephanus Maurus the procurator of the church of Saint Saviour (St. Salvator) in Šibenik", in 1413 he inherited the "terra Porychan" as "Stephanus Maurus" and in 1435 he was mentioned as "Stephanos Keglevich de Porychane the son of Kegal de genere Percal". The church of the Holy Saviour (Sveti Spas, St. Salvator) in Šibenik was built until 1390, belonged to a Benedictine convent and was since 1807 until 1810 the Orthodox parish church, but it is not the present church of Holy Saviour in Šibenik, because this was built in 1778 as Christ's Ascension Church and later changed the name. It is since 1810 the Assumption of Mary Church. The Procurators work closely with architects and engineers to ensure the building of the church. Pope Boniface IX founded in 1391 the monastery of Saint Clara in Šibenik and ordered to build another church for it, because, as he wrote, there were some wives at the newly built church of St. Salvator, but they were obviously not sitting on rules.
  Petar Keglević II (ca. 1485 – ca. 1555) was captain and later ban of Jajce, from 1521 to 1522. In 1526, some months before the battle of Mohács, he got the jus gladii. However, he did not take part in the battle of Mohács (he arrived too late). From 1533 to 1537 he was the royal commissary for Croatia and Slavonia as attorney general. From 1537 to 1542 he was  the Ban of Croatia and Slavonia.
  Juraj/György Keglević III (unknown – 1622) was Commander-in-chief, General, Vice-Ban of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia (14 April 1598 – 21 October 1599) and since 1602 Baron in Transylvania. Matthias II imprisoned him,  but soon left him free again. At that time was the Principality of Transylvania a fully autonomous, but only semi-independent state under the nominal suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire, where it was the time of the Sultanate of Women.
  Petar Keglević V (1609–1665) was the adjoining Colonel at Nagykanizsa, when he became Vice-General in 1649.
  Petar Keglević VII (1660–1724) was the Commander-in-chief, General, Vice-Ban of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia and since 1687 Count in Hungary.
  Nikola Keglević was since 1687 Count of Torna County in Kingdom of Hungary, now Slovakia. Nicolaus Keglevich started Keglevich dynasty in Kingdom of Hungary.
  Sigismund Keglević was the Titular bishop of Mrkan between 1764 and 1805.
  Aleksandar Keglević was in 1770 or 1771 rector of the University of Trnava, it began the moving of the University into the Royal Palace Buda Castle with the permission of Maria Theresa of Austria, it was moved in 1777 to Buda and finally to Pest in 1784.
  Tereza Keglević, the Countess of Bratislava in Kingdom of Hungary (now Slovakia). She bought a Keglevich Palace from Joseph Duchoň in 1745 on 15 February, for 7 000 crowns.
  Josip I Keglević was very liked by Emperor Peter III of Russia, who called him "Sir brother". His father, also called Josip, had been ambassador to Russia. He was curator of the tenant of the court theatre in Vienna (1773–1776) of Johann count Kohary, who had come into financial problems. He was one of the two crown guards of the Holy Crown of Hungary (1772-1795). He was the magister agazonum (Marshal) between 1794 and 1798. and also the Count of Torna County.
  Josip II Keglević was the secretary of the Vice-council, member of the Diet of Hungary ("Hungarian Parliament") and also, like his father, the protector of the Royal Crown. He had lived in Bratislava, in Keglevich Palace.
  Franjo Keglević was the husband of the sister of the director of the court theater Hoftheater Burgtheater in Vienna Wenzel count Sporck and was chairman of the committee for financing the court theater Hoftheater Burgtheater in Vienna between  1773 and 1776. In 1809, he or another Franciscus Keglevich promised to the Emperor Francis a particular exchange rate between gold in natura and gold coins or silver coins, because he had got gold in natura 2 years before the bankruptcy of the state of Austria in 1811.
  Charles Keglevich became in 1773 director of the city theater Theater am Kärntnertor in Vie
