History

The Szilágyi family comes from the region of the Szilágy-patak (present-day Sălaj River, part of Romania).

Most specialist agree that the family died out in the Middle Ages. Zoltán W. Vityi says that the noble Szilágyis of Horogszeg who lived in Nyírgelse and Nyírmihálydi (in Szabolcs County in Hungary) in the 1930s were descended from the medieval noble family.
