Pousa from the kindred Bár-Kalán (Hungarian: Bár-Kalán nembeli Pósa; died between 1222 and 1255) was a Hungarian noble, who served as Judge royal for a short time in 1222, during the reign of Andrew II of Hungary.[1]
He belonged to the Sáp branch of the gens Bár-Kalán as the son of Nana I. Possibly he had two brothers, Peter and Gregory. Pousa married first to Elizabeth from the Győr kindred, a daughter of Palatine Pat Győr. They had a son, Nana II (who married a daughter of Palatine Mojs I), and two daughters, including Lucia, who married Vejte II, the son of Vejte I Csanád.[2] Pousa's second wife was an unidentified daughter of Héder II Héder. Their marriage produced a son, Walter.[3]
Historian Mór Wertner identified him a certain Pousa, who served as Ban of Slavonia in 1216. Soon he was replaced by his distant relative Bánk Bár-Kalán.[4] As formerly he was a loyal supporter of King Emeric, his baronial league came to the fore, when the nobles forced Andrew II to issue the Golden Bull of 1222.[3][5] He was elected Judge royal, beside that he also functioned as ispán of Borsod and Csanád Counties.[6] However soon Pousa and other Emeric-partisan lords had lost their influence, he was replaced by Lawrence Atyusz as Judge royal and his career ended. Pousa died sometime between 1222 and 15 March 1255.[3] Mór Wertner identified a certain Pous, who served as ispán of Bihar County from 1223 to 1224, with him.[6] In 1255, James and Lawrence Héder successfully recovered their sister's dowry – widow of Pousa – from the late Pousa's son, Nana.[7]
