In 1252 Sztanch took part in the agreement with Chyz; he was already then called Isépi. This suggests that he was the owner of either the whole or part of Magyar-Izsép.^2,3

Lukács I and Mátyus I are mentioned frequently in contemporary documents and they play the role of judges in settling disputes, and also at investitures of the King's or Palatine's men into properties or when crossing borders. This is an indication that they may have been reputable men enjoying public esteem. Their prestige allowed marriage relationships with the powerful Guth-Keled clan; the wife of Lukács I was actually Katalin Butkay, daughter of Miklós Butkay II and N. Szádellõy, originating from that very clan.¹ Circa 1314 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary, Lukacs Isépy married Katalin Buthkay, daughter of Miklos Buthkay II and (?) Szádelloy.¹
In a major Isepy land dispute, there was a duel (to see how God would judge the two men) between the parties that, however, ended undecided because both dueling parties stood their ground bravely. The duelers were equipped with military weaponry (in armis militeribus), lances and Bulgarian hammers (per clavas bulgaricales), astride horses, and among festive formalities. On that occasion the king was also represented, together with other valiant and noble men, and several of the country's highest judges. On July 19, 1328 an agreement was made between the parties in the presence of the country's highest judge on which basis Balázs Rákóczy I gave (the property) Arács to János Isépy's sons: Mátyus I and Lukács I; they in turn gave up their demand for the lands at Rákócz, Körtvélyes, Morva and Sink. On January 8, 1329, the Chapter of Eger installed Mátyus I and Lukács in the Arács property, and confirmed its borders with them.^2,3 Lukacs Isépy died after 1330 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary.

The sons of Mátyus I: Márkus and Péter, who were both magisters, may have filled important roles in public life in their times. The clearly favorable disposition of King Zsigmond towards them demonstrates this. A document, issued in 1400, by the Palatine Detre Bubek of Pelsõcz legally declares that the Isépy, Bánóczy and Cseley families originate from the ancient and prominent Bogát-Radvány clan.¹ Péter Isépy was mentioned in a lawsuit or legal action in 1381 in Szerencs, Zemplén, Hungary. The infighting of Isépy kinsmen with the Monokys for the properties at Lazony and Last, continued without interruption even during the lives of Márkus and Péter. According to a document dated 1381 it went so far that they questioned the rights of the ancient patronage of the Isépy, Cseley and Bánóczy families connected to the Monastery at Szerencs.¹ He was mentioned in a lawsuit or legal action between 1385 and 1398 in Keék, Abauj-Torna, Hungary. In 1385 the Palatine Miklós Szécsy and his sons: János, Ferenc and Miklós granted to Péter and Márkus Isépy, the village of Keék in Abauj County. This property had reverted to the king because of a discontinuance of male Isépy descendants. King Zsigmond confirmed this grant document in 1398, thereby Péter and Márkus Isépy were established in the property on December 17, 1398. Márkus, by then the only one alive, received an additional confirmation in the property in 1409.² He died before 1409 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary.

     Demeter Herencsény was born circa 1320. He was the son of Tamás Herencsény. He is mentioned in a document in 1339.¹

     Márton Tussay was born circa 1325 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. He was the son of Mak Tussay and Erzsébet Isépy.

     Lukacs Isépy II was born circa 1330 in Magyar-Izsép, Zemplén, Hungary. He was the son of Lukacs Isépy and Katalin Buthkay.
Lukács Isépy in 1371 acknowledges to Miklós Butkay, receipt of the quarter due of his mother Colust Butkay.¹¹⁸ This Lukacs Isépy, however, could have been Lukács II, the son of Lukács I, whose uncle was Miklós III, from whom he received the above-mentioned dues. The name Colus, on the other hand, can be considered identical with the nickname Katus (Catus) for Katalin - that was incorrectly read by the person who deciphered the faded writing of the document.¹
