Nicholas Felsőlendvai

Nicholas (I) Felsőlendvai (Hungarian: Felsőlendvai (I.) Miklós, Croatian: Nikola Omodejev; died April or May 1325) was an influential Hungarian baron and military leader, who served as Ban of Slavonia from 1323 until his death.

Initially a familiaris of the powerful Kőszegi family, he swore loyalty to Charles I of Hungary and played eminent role in defeating the oligarchs – including his former lords – in the 1310s. The monarch entrusted him with the administration of several counties and newly regained royal castles mostly in Transdanubia before appointing him as Ban of Slavonia. His attempt to restore Hungarian suzerainty over Croatia was unsuccessful. He was the progenitor of the Felsőlendvai (or Rupolyi) family, which, however, became extinct a few decades later.
