 When Ladislaus IV regained some space for maneuver, Lawrence again served as Master of the treasury from around July 1280 to April 1281, but he was ultimately replaced by his distant relative, Peter Aba from the more influential Széplak branch.Since the early 1280s, the powerful Kőszegi family gradually extended their influence over Sopron County, including the Locsmánd region, where the majority of Lawrence's lands had laid.According to historian Gyula Kristó, Ivan Kőszegi brought whole Sopron County under his jurisdiction and annexed it to his emerging oligarchic province by 1285, when several local nobles were mentioned as his "familiares".
