Career

Endre (or Hendre) was born into gens (clan) Németi, which possessed lands in southern Transdanubia. His parentage is unknown. He is the earliest known member of the clan. He was appointed ispán of Valkó County sometime after 1234. He is mentioned in this office only in 1240. In that year, Martin, the son of the late Batiz Negol sued Endre's father-in-law Bökény (Büken) regarding the estates Heyreh and Luder, claiming that Bökény lost these estates of his family, in spite of the guarantee given earlier. As the conclusion of the lawsuit, Endre compensated Martin with 100 marks on behalf of his father-in-law.

Endre was succeeded as ispán by Aynard Smaragd in 1244 at the latest.
