Background
Buzád was born into the Buzád branch of the Hahót clan, the son of Buzád I (died 1192).
Buzád was born into the Buzád branch of the Hahót clan, the son of Buzád I (died 1192).
According to a non-authentic charter, Buzád served as the Ispán (comes) of Győr County in 1209. There is no record of him receiving any official positions for the coming two decades. He functioned as the Ispán of Bihar County in 1222.
After that he was the head of Pozsony County between 1222 and 1224.
The latter rebelled against his father"s rule. Buzád became a supporter of Béla, as a result of which he had to follow his lord into exile to Austria in 1223.
Buzád served as the Ban of Severin from 1226 to c. 1232, when Béla governed Transylvania de facto independently from the king, holding the title of Duke of Transylvania.
In 1233, he called himself "former ban" (Latin: quondam banus) in a charter, as a result former archontological and genealogical works of Hungarian historians (e g János Karácsonyi and Mór Wertner) referred to him as the Ban of Slavonia (1226–1228/9), nevertheless it is more likely that Buzád held the office of Ban of Severin, because of his close relationship with Béla, and there is also reason to believe the he came into contact during that period with the Dominican friars, who were engaged in proselytizing among the Cuman people.
Buzád served as Ispán of Sopron County in 1232. He lived in a monastery at Pest, where, according to tradition, not willing to leave the monastery, the invading Mongols killed him before the altar in April 1241, shortly after the disastrous Battle of Mohi.
László Vigh, a member of the Hungarian National Assembly, gave a speech during consecration, where he said the youth should follow persons who lived out their lives with God"s love and honest work, instead of false role models.
