His administrative functions are well known, he was the member of Black Army (legio nigra), captain of Upper Hungary (present day Slovakia) in 1462, captain of the newly established Captaincy of Senj in the Kingdom of Croatia (1469-1471) and twice ban of Croatia and Slavonia (1470-1471 and 1480-1483). Also, Blaise Magyar was important member of nobility of the Kingdom of Hungary-Croatia who had estates in different counties and formed political and family connections with local nobility there. The emphasis will be placed on the reconstruction of political influence and established family connections of Blaise Magyar in the regions which he governed, and of which the most evident connection is the one with the Croatian noble family Horvat de Kamičac, whose member Mark Horvat married Benigna, daughter of Blaise Magyar.
