House of Bohuš™
est. 1231

Domus Bohuš: Lux Mentis, Libertas Animae

House of Bohuš™: Light of the Mind, Freedom of the Soul.

The House of Bohuš traces its origins to 1231, when King Andrew II of Hungary granted ancestral lands in the Liptov region to Behar, son of Samuel, in recognition of loyal service. From its earliest days, the family has been rooted in a tradition of clarity, stewardship, and principled action.

 

Over time, the name Bohuš quietly extended its presence across the historic counties of the former Kingdom of Hungary — including Liptov, Nitra, Spiš, and Zvolen — leaving behind not just property, but presence.

 

The family’s seat, Liptovské Beharovce (Curia Behar), remains etched in historical records as a place of origin and quiet influence.

​

The present line is believed to descend from the Beharovská (Behárfalva) branch — the oldest and most academically distinguished lineage of the House.

A Legacy Enduring
 

The House of Bohuš has never relied on spectacle. Its presence has been carried forward through intellect, duty, and a cultivated sense of purpose — enduring not by volume, but by virtue.
​
Influence did not require volume. It required vision.

Legacy

The Beharovská Lineage and Its Scholars

 

Across centuries, members of the House of Bohuš — particularly those from the Beharovská (Behárfalva) branch — have contributed meaningfully to legal scholarship, historical inquiry, diplomacy, and cultural preservation.

 

This legacy of principled thought and public service has carried the family across generations and nations, finding expression in the law courts of Central Europe, the lecture halls of universities, and the cultural institutions of modern Slovakia.

 

Influence was not sought through power, but through presence.​​
