Egyed (II) from the kindred Monoszló (Hungarian: Monoszló nembeli (II) Egyed; c. 1240 – March 1313) was a Hungarian powerful baron, who served as Master of the treasury from 1270 to 1272 and from 1274 to 1275. He was a loyal supporter of Stephen V of Hungary from his ducal years.
Egyed II was born into the gens Monoszló around 1240 as the son of Gregory II, who functioned as ispán of Krassó County in 1255. His mother was an unidentified noblewoman from the gens Bő, possibly the daughter of Ders. His grandfather was Thomas I, the Ban of Slavonia between 1228 and 1229. Egyed had two brothers, Gregory III, who served as Judge of the Cumans and was Egyed's strong ally, and Peter, who functioned as Bishop of Transylvania from 1270 to 1307. The three brothers supported each other in national politics and gradually distinguished themselves from the other branches of the Monoszló kindred. This intention also appeared in contemporary documents and charters, when their names were referred with the suffixes "de genere Thome bani" ("from Ban Thomas' kindred"), and later "de Filek", when Egyed was granted Fülek Castle (today Fiľakovo, Slovakia) from his lord, Duke Stephen.
He married Catherine from the gens Kökényesradnót, daughter of Emeric and niece of Mikod, who served as Ban of Severin from 1275 to 1276. They had four unidentified daughters, and Egyed became a relative of the Nyék branch of the Aba kindred, the Borsa kindred and the subsequently influential Kórógyi family through their marriages. Egyed had no legitimate sons, only a doubtful authentic charter from 1327 mentions a certain Nicholas in this respect, but since if he was an existing person, he had to die before Egyed's death in 1313.
