Jeszenszky or Jesenský (also Jessensky, Jessinsky, Jessensky de Gross Jessen) were a family of old Nobility in the Kingdom of Hungary of Slav origin.
In 1274, Andrew gained nobility by serving king Ladislaus IV of Hungary bravely, and got the village of Jeszent in Túróc (Template:Lang-sk) county, and its surroundings as a gift. From that time, the family called herself as Jeszentsky ("of Jeszent"), which later transformed into Jeszenszky (Jesenský). Ladislaus Jesenský died in 1526 during the catastrophic Battle of Mohács. Subsequently, all Jesenský property was confiscated by the advancing Osmans, so brothers Melchior, Lorenz and Balthasar Jesenský moved to Silesia (then part of the Crown of Bohemia) and lived in Wrocław and Świdnica from 1541 onward. Balthasar's son was Ján Jesenský, known as Jan Jesenius, famous scientist and politician who lived and died in Prague, Bohemia.
