Vid from the kindred Gutkeled (Hungarian: Gutkeled nembeli Vid), colloquially also known as Count Vid (Hungarian: Vid ispán; c. 1010 – 14 March 1074), was an 11th-century Swabian-born Hungarian lord and courtier, an early member of the illustrious gens (clan) Gutkeled. As a chief advisor of Solomon, King of Hungary, he played a significant role in the deterioration of relations with the king's cousins, dukes Géza and Ladislaus, which led to internal conflicts and Solomon's deposition. Later chronicles, including the Illuminated Chronicle depicts Vid as an evil and malicious advisor.
