1334 TyzolcTyzolc

The first document to name the place is a charter of King Charles I from 1334, where it appears as Tyzolc. That is a fact about a piece of parchment, not about when people arrived: the settlement was probably a century older, one of the mountain villages founded while the uplands of Gemer were being colonised in the thirteenth century. Tisovec belonged to a lordship rather than to itself — first to the Széchy family, and after their male line died out the estate was divided between the Lošonci and the Országh of Guth. The one advantage of the site was iron ore, and endless beech forest to make charcoal from.Prvou listinou, ktorá miesto menuje, je listina kráľa Karola I. z roku 1334, kde vystupuje ako Tyzolc. To je údaj o pergamene, nie o tom, kedy sem prišli ľudia: osada bola pravdepodobne o storočie staršia, jedna z horských dedín, ktoré vznikli pri kolonizácii gemerských vrchov v trinástom storočí. Tisovec patril panstvu, nie sebe — najprv Sečéniovcom, a keď ich mužská vetva vymrela, majetok si rozdelili Lošonciovci a Országhovci z Gutu. Jedinou výhodou tejto polohy bola železná ruda a nekonečné bučiny, z ktorých sa dalo páliť drevené uhlie.
