Páni z Lipé (House of Leipa) is an old Czech family, descended from the Ron family. The common ancestor was Smil Světlický, his grandson Chval of Lipá founded the castle and the town of Lipé. The family split into the Lepia and Pirštejn branches.

Jan Ješek Ptáček of Pirkštejn (1338 - 1390) acquired the town of Rataje nad Sázavou with two castles, one of which he renamed Pirkštejn.

Jindřich of Lipá (son of Chval of Lipá), who ruled Žitava, was considered the second man of the country after the king in the 14th century.

He was one of the noblemen who brought John of Luxembourg to the Bohemian territory, John appointed him as a provincial governor and inherited the office of high marshal in the kingdom. Jan of Lipé commanded the army of Charles IV in Italy, where he fell.
