Biography
He was born into the gens Türje from Zala County as the son of Denis I. In the old charters, the village of Türje was first mentioned in 1234. The monastery of the premontre monks was founded at the beginning of the 13th century. In this time, the namesake kindred was the landowner of the village and the neighboring villages too. Formerly, historian János Karácsonyi incorrectly assumed that Denis II was the son of Gecse and made a difference between him and Denis, who served as master of the horse.[1]
His influence arose during the reign of Andrew II, as his name was first mentioned by contemporary records in 1220, however his offices are unknown before 1233.[2] Denis as a faithful supporter of crown prince Béla, who held the title of Duke of Transylvania after 1226, following the agreement between the king and his son after a series of conflicts for the throne. As a result he was appointed voivode of Transylvania for duke Béla in 1233. He held that office until 1234.[3][4]
When Béla ascended the throne in 1235, Denis was nominated master of the horse and served in this capacity until 1241.[5] Besides that he also functioned as ispán for the stablemen (Hungarian: lovászispán; Latin: comes agasonum) in 1235, ispán (comes) of Temes County in 1240 and ban of Slavonia from 1241 and 1244. In the latter case, he held the title of "ban and duke of Slavonia" (Latin: banus et dux totius Sclavonie) after 1242, later also adopted the title "ban of Primorje" (Hungarian: Tengermellék).[6]
Denis participated in the disastrous Battle of Mohi on 11 April 1241, from where fled together with king Béla IV to the Dalmatian coast. Denis as royal governor of Dalmatia, took part in the Siege of Zara in 1243. On 30 June 1244, Béla made a peace with the Republic of Venice and he surrendered his supremacy over Zara (today Zadar, Croatia) but he retained the one third of the Dalmatian city's revenues of customs. In 1244, Denis led the royal army against Spalato (today: Split, Croatia), which rebelled against the Hungarian monarch.[2]
