The owners of the village in the century and a half after the conquest were members of the Balog-Semjén family. At that time Tompa’s son Benedek, Ubul’s son Mihály and Péter Panyala shared it. In 1285, the people of Panyola asked King László IV for permission to build a castle here. In 1292, the branch of the Panyola family that lived here, sold the heritage. The family received it back in 1307.
