Décsey noble family pedigree

Here is a partial pedigree of the Décsey de Maros-Décse et Nagy-Doba noble family since 1575.  It is noted in Iván Nagy's catalog of Hungarian noble families (Nagy Iván, III, pp. 264-68) that the family is "original nobility" and is quite old, perhaps dating to the formation of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1000 AD.  It is also noted that Péter Décsey in 1413 was already an important figure in the Principality of Transylvania (Siebenbürgen; Erdély).  Fruzsina (either his daughter or sister) married István Bánffy de Losoncz.  This marriage ultimately led to (a little bit further down the Bánffy de Losoncz line) to producing a King of Poland as well as very high-ranking nobility.
