- BIOGRAPHY
András was born about 1595, the son of Zsigmond, Baron Balassa de Balassa-Gyarmath, and Elzbieta Zofia Zborowski h. Jastrzebiec. With his first wife Mária Bakos de Osgyan, daughter of Gabriel Bakos de Osgyan and Maria Bornemisza de Szendrö, he had two sons of whom Bálint would have progeny. With his second wife Ilona, Baronesse Szunyogh de Jeszenicze et Budethin, he had a son Gábor, who would also have progeny, marrying Mária Magdolna, Baronesse Perényi de Perény. András had several further children, none of whom is recorded with progeny.
Nothing is recorded in English about András, but one source describes him as 'bello transylvanico clarus, militiae generalis', indicating that he was a senior military figure in Transylvania.
András died in 1649.
