Simon Kézai, the chronicler of Ladislaus IV of Hungary wrote his history in the years 1282–83. In this work he reported that Prince Emeric, the son of King Béla III married Constance of Aragon. The Spanish princess was escorted to Hungary by an extremely beautiful woman, called Tóta, who later became the wife of Prince Benedict, the voivode of Transylvania. It was in a document of 1202 where King Emeric gave his permission to Benedict to bestow the settlement of Bajót on Tóta, as a wedding gift. This document was the first written mention of the settlement's name and it appeared there as Boitth. The document is closed with a golden seal and today it is kept in the State Archives of the City of Vienna. In 1221 King Andrew II returned the property to Tóta, which had formerly been taken away from her when her husband, Benedict had been exiled.
