Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - I whanau ia ko László Szőgyény de Magyar-Szőgyén ki roto i te whanau rangatira, tama a te Kaiwhakahaere Tuarua a Zsigmond Szőgyény me Júlia Pászthory. I tiimata tana ako i Theresianum i Vienna ka haere ki te Whare Wananga o te Humanities me te Ture i te Whare Wananga o Pest. I whakawhiwhia ia ki te taote o te rapunga whakaaro i te 18 o ona tau. I noho ia hei kairipoata honore, katahi ka kairipoata o Pest County. Mai i te 1844 i mahi ia hei Kaunihera i te Whare Kaunihera Royal Hungarian. I tohua ia hei Kaiwhakahaere o te Kooti engari i whakarere i tenei tuunga i te wa o te Huringa o Hungary o te 1848
i te wā i whakakorehia ai te tari. I riro ia hei Kaitiaki Motu engari kaore i whawhai ki nga pakanga.
