History

[edit]

According to local folklore and culture, the settlement was named after Prince Domoszló, son of King Samuel, from whom the Kompolti family descended. His name, in turn, came from a Slavic personal name: Domoslav.[1]

King Stephen V confirmed the charter of privilege of Aba Kompolt In 1263. In 1522, the village became the property of the Országh family [fr] via a succession treaty between the Kompolt and Országh families. After the death of Kristóf Országh [hu] in 1567, King Maximilian II agreed to the succession of the female branch and the estate passed to Borbala Országh and her husband Ferenc Török [hu]. The population of the settlement fled from the Ottoman conquerors around the 16th century. King Leopold I donated Domoszló to John Einczinger in 1698 and finally, István Tarródy came into possession of the area through a purchase in 1722.[2]

The ethnicity of the population which resettled in the 18th century were mostly Slovaks; the village had 598 inhabitants in 1746 and 804 in 1767. The church of St. Demeter was built in the Baroque style in 1739, allowing one of the rose windows of the monastery that once stood in it, to be incorporated into the church[clarification needed]. The castle of Oroszlánkő, which ruins are barely visible today, was built north of the village in the 13th century.[2]
