Brocca (Hungarian: Baracska) was a nobleman from Transdanubia[1] in the Kingdom of Hungary, who was appointed Judge royal (Latin: curialis comes) by Anti-king Stephen IV of Hungary in 1163. He lost his office when his king suffered a decisive defeat at Székesfehérvár on 19 June 1163 against Stephen III of Hungary.[2]
Brocca was a prominent member of the Baracska clan which originated from Bojta, a Cuman military commander and lord, however the name itself derived from Brocca. Thus the name of village Baracska is also named after Brocca, according to historian János Karácsonyi.[1]
