Family
He was born into the Ernye branch of the gens (clan) Ákos as the son of Albert the Great (Master of the horse from 1270 to 1272 and Ban of Severin in 1272), he had also two younger brothers, John and Ákos. Mojs' uncle was Judge royal Ernye Ákos, thus he was also a cousin of the oligarch Stephen Ákos.
Mojs I had at least three children from his unidentified wife; Mojs II who made an alliance with oligarch James Borsa and the sons of the late Ladislaus Kán in 1315 and caused a rebellion against Charles I of Hungary; magister Ellős who died before 1329 and a daughter who married to Andrew Sárpataki.
Career
He was first mentioned by contemporary records in 1278. He functioned as ispán of Ung County in 1284. According to a non-authentic charter issued in 1289, he held the position of Voivode of Transylvania from 1287 to 1288. Although that diploma is definitely a forgery, should be considered that there is no information on Roland Borsa's second voivodeship (1284–1294) for the period between the summer of 1285 and 1288. If Mojs I actually held the office then he was also ispán of Szolnok County in the same period.
On the instruction of Lodomer, Archbishop of Esztergom and the archiepiscopal synod, Árbóc (a Cuman maternal relative of King Ladislaus IV of Hungary) and Mojs I were arrested and held in captivity by Peter Monoszló, the Bishop of Transylvania in 1288, because Lodomer mistakenly thought that they had planned to go the Mongols as the envoys of Ladislaus IV whose relationship was severely burdened with the Catholic Church. They were released soon.
In 1291, Mojs I was briefly appointed Master of the treasury and Count of the Székelys. However soon he was replaced by Dominic Rátót and Peter Bő respectively. He was among the barons of Andrew III of Hungary in 1296. He served as Master of the treasury for Queen Agnes of Austria from 1298 to 1299.
