He was a son of Lucas III Péc, who served as ispán of Zala County in the 1290s. He had four brothers, Desiderius, Stephen II, Egyed and Nicholas, who had no known descendants.
He took the surname Szentgyörgyi. He is first mentioned by contemporary records in 1341. He was familiaris in the episcopal court of John Garai, Bishop of Veszprém. He served as castellan of Sümeg in 1347. He was last mentioned by sources in 1360, when unlawfully seized the village of Maros from the Diocese of Veszprém, alongside his brother Desiderius. He had three sons, but the Szentgyörgyi family became extinct by the 1360s.
