context_page_description: Básztély was the name of a gens in the Kingdom of Hungary. The powerful Rozgonyi family ascended from this clan.
context_section_description: Reynold's eldest son was Andrew, who remained in Básztély to manage the clan possessions, while his younger brothers Solomon and Ladislaus were sent to the court of Ban Stephen Gutkeled. They were granted lands beyond the Drava river by the Gutkeleds in 1263. They had no descendants. All of the Básztély brothers, except Denis, who possibly died by then, had participated in the Battle on the Marchfeld (1278), as their subject, Simon of Kéza's Gesta Hunnorum et Hungarorum commemorated.
  Andrew had a lawsuit over the proprietary of Bajna with the neighbor Zoárd kindred. He was present at the wedding of his only daughter Aglent and John Koppán. He died shortly thereafter. His sons became robber knights during the era of feudal anarchy, at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. One of them Nicholas pillaged the Zoárd lands around 1300, causing a damage of 400 marks. He did not present before the judicial court of Andrew III of Hungary, as a result, the monarch confiscated the late Andrew's lands and the palace guards of Esztergom seized the property and handed over to the Zoárds. Andrew's sons were never mentioned again; only the son of one of them, Andrew III was granted a negligible portion (Dobódél) of the Básztély fortune, when the branches partitioned it among themselves in 1342.
  Reynold I's namesake son, Reynold II was first mentioned by contemporary documents in 1259; he was a member of the group of so-called "royal youth" (Hungarian: királyi ifjak, Latin: iuvenis noster) by then, who was considered a faithful and ambitious soldier in the court of Duke Stephen. He connected his fate and social ascendancy to the power aspirations of the duke, who governed the province of Transylvania on behalf of his father, King Béla IV of Hungary. Reynold's first marriage produced two sons, Ladislaus, the first member of the Rozgonyi family, and Peter. After his wife's death, Reynold married his second wife, an unidentified sister of noble Nicholas Vecse de Putnok; they had three sons – Julius, Solomon and Denis – and a daughter, Anne, who became a nun. Their offspring were called Básztélyi ("of Básztély"), who remained members of the minor nobility in Transdanubia and died out by the end of the 14th century. Reynold's sons remained marginal nobles, without holding any office; their lowborn status hindered to inherit their father's influence, who rose to the elite due to his talent and loyalty. One of them Julius appeared as a familiaris of the powerful oligarch Amadeus Aba. The Rozgonyis returned to the forefront of the Hungarian nobility only in the early 15th century, during the reign of Sigismund.
