The title "Vitez" was inherited from fathers to sons
Here is a website about Vitez Order, but it is written in Hungarian:

Subject: [HUNGARY-L] Vitez


> I have 2 ancestors that were called Vitez on a wedding entry in a church
register. This was in 1826 and the 2 were Janos Fay and his father-in-law
Mihaly Karsa.
> Janos would have been 26; Mihaly abt. 46. The wedding was in Zsujta in
Abuaj megye.
> Would anyone have any idea how they would have earned this title? I don't
know of any wars in this period (1800-1826) involving Hungary.
