The coat-of-arms of the Hungarian Gutkeled clan Gutkeled (spelling variants: Gut-Keled, Guthkeled, Guth-Keled) was the name of agens (Latin for "clan";nemzetség inHungarian ) in theKingdom of Hungary , to which a number of Hungarian noble families belong.
The primary source of their origins is theGesta Hungarorum of Simon of Kéza, in which the author writes:
Sed postea, tempore Petri regis Kelad et Gut intrant tres frateres ex gente Svevorum procreati. De castello Stof sunt nativi. ″But afterwards, during the reign of king Peter, Kelad and Gut three brothers ofSwabian descent immigrated. They were born at the castle of Stof.″ The castle "Stof" is assumed to be a corruption ofStauf , meaning either the Staufen Castle inStaufen im Breisgau or theHohenstaufen Castle inGöppingen . The king mentioned isPéter Orseolo , placing the arrival of the Gutkeleds to Hungary sometime around the 1040s.[ 1]
