Today Borša is in the Trebisov District of eastern Slovakia, just a few kilometres from the Hungarian border. According to archival records, the name of the village was first mentioned in a document dating from 1067. The village was part of the estate of Patak Castle in several periods and was owned by the Perényi, Pálóczi, Henyey and Zeleméry families before it came into the possession of the Rákóczi family through the marriage of Zsuzsanna Lórántffy and Prince György I Rákóczi in 1616.
