Pousa (II) from the kindred Türje (Hungarian: Türje nembeli (II.) Pósa; died 1323 or 1324) was a Hungarian cleric at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, who served as Provost of Veszprém from 1312 until his death.
Family
Pousa (II) was born into the Bér branch of the gens (clan) Türje, which originated from Zala County and possessed landholdings mostly in Transdanubia. His father was Pousa (I), who held his permanent residence in Bér. He had three brothers, Nicholas, John and Mark. The latter two were ancestors of the Béri and Orbonai noble families, respectively.[1]
Career
Pousa entered ecclesiastical career. His name first appears in contemporary records in 1281, when he agreed to sell Dabronc, along with several other members of the kindred.[2] Pousa served as archdeacon of Zala from 1299 to 1306.[3] Together with his two living brothers, John and Mark, he took part in the division process of the clan's estates with the Szentgrót branch of the gens Türje in 1299. Accordingly, Pousa and his brothers were granted most of the lands laid beyond the Drava, including Orbona (Vrbona; near present-day Obrovnica, Croatia) and Cerova-Brda (Zalaburda), in addition to the estates Bér, Batyk and Hídvég in Zala County, and Püspöki along the river Tisza in Szolnok County. Initially, Pousa also laid claim to the portion in Türje once possessed by the late Denis (III), who had earlier violent conflicts with the clan's Bér branch over the boundaries of the ancestral seat. Pousa eventually relinquished this claim in favor of the orphan Desiderius (I), son of Denis.[4] In 1306, Pousa and his brothers, among others, agreed to let their relative Peregrine (I) donate the lands Barlabáshida (present-day a borough of Pakod) and Vitenyéd (present-day a borough of Bagod) in Zala County to the clan's monastery, the Premonstratensian church of Türje.[5]
Pousa served as Provost of Veszprém at least from 1312 to 1323. He died sometime between December 1323 and September 1324.[3]
