Solomon from the kindred Atyusz (Hungarian: Atyusz nembeli Salamon; died between 1227 and 1233) was a Hungarian noble, who served as Judge royal for a short time in 1222, during the reign of Andrew II of Hungary.
He was born into the Atyusz kindred as the second son of Miska II, who was an educator of the young Duke Béla. His older brother was Miska III, who functioned as ispán of Vas County in 1214. Solomon had several cousins, including Atyusz III and Lawrence, the careers of three of them had intertwined many times.
Solomon's wife was a certain Ahalyz (also Elizabeth), who came from France to Hungary, accompanied by Atyusz III, and settled down in a family estate of Widhor in Valkó County. They married after 1224, following the death of Ahalyz's first husband Batiz Negol, who, otherwise, succeeded Solomon as Judge royal in 1222 and held the office until his death. Ahalyz was a maid of honor for Queen Yolanda, the second spouse of King Andrew II. Solomon and Ahalyz had no children, and following Solomon's death, the French noblewoman married third time to Bertrand Bajóti, according to a contemporary document from 1244.
Solomon was first mentioned as Master of the treasury in 1214; former archontological and biographical works (e.g. Wertner) referred to him as the first known office-holder who was appointed to this position, however Attila Zsoldos' archontology has outlined the 12th-century preliminaries of the position. Nevertheless, the office of Master of the treasury became a permanent dignity with defined and circumscribed jurisdiction under Solomon Atyusz. He served in that capacity until 1215, when he was replaced by Denis, son of Ampud, the most trusted financial adviser of Andrew II. As the Regestrum Varadinense wrotes, Solomon also functioned as ispán of Bács County during that time in 1214. In the following year, he was head of Nyitra County. According to a diploma issued in 1215, Solomon had formerly unlawfully usurped a land of a certain knight Wilermus between the Mura and Drava rivers.
