Ten-lanced nobles
The ten-lanced nobles (Hungarian: tízlándzsások), also Szepes lancers or Spiš lancers, were group of conditional noblemen living in the Szepes region of the Kingdom of Hungary (present-day Spiš in Slovakia).[1] They received their privileges from King Béla IV of Hungary in 1243.[2] They were obliged to equip ten knights or lancers.[3] Initially, they formed about 40 families, but their number decreased to less than 20 families by the 16th century.[4] They lost their special status in 1804.[4]
