; Per Genealogics:
     “Charles II, king of Naples, Sicily and Jerusalem, was born in 1254, the son of Charles I Etienne, king of Naples and Sicily, and Beatrice de Provence. His father made him prince of Salerno and gave him Maria of Hungary, daughter of Stephan V, king of Hungary, and Erzsebet of the Cumans, as his bride. They married in 1269; of their fourteen children, four sons and three daughters would have progeny. In 1282 his father lost Sicily to the king of Aragón. When he set out to regain it he left Charles II in charge of Naples. In 1284 the enemy's admiral, Ruggiero de Lauria, lured Charles out of Naples and he was captured. In 1285, while he was still imprisoned, his father Charles I Etienne died. It took until 1288 for him to arrange his own release with his promise to give up his claims to Sicily. However, once Charles was released and installed as king of Naples, Pope Nicholas IV absolved him from this promise, and so the war for Sicily continued.
     “Later, at the Peace of Caltabellotta in 1302, Charles II gave up his claim to Sicily for the lifetime of Fadrique III of Aragón, king of Sicily. Charles then built a set of alliances, usually sealed with the marriage of one of his children. In this way he increased or extended his control over Piedmont, Provence, Hungary, Athens, and Albania. Even though he was extremely pious and closely allied with the Church, he ruled over an enlightened court, eliminating many of his father's harsh measures. By fostering trade and the arts, patronising the university, and building monasteries and churches, he made Naples a European capital. Charles died on 6 May 1309, and was succeeded in Naples and Sicily by his son Robert.”.⁶

     “Maria I, queen of Hungary, was born about 1257, the daughter of Stephan V, king of Hungary, and Erzsebet of the Cumans. She was the second of six children; her sisters Elisabeth and Katalin both became queens of Serbia. Another sister Anna married Andronikos II Palaiologos, emperor of Byzantium. Maria's only brother was Lászlo IV, king of Hungary.
     “In 1269, when she was only twelve, Maria married Charles II, the future king of Naples, Sicily and Jerusalem, the eldest son and heir of Charles I Etienne, king of Naples and Sicily, and Beatrice de Provence. Of their fourteen children, four sons and three daughters would have progeny.
     “On 10 July 1290 Maria's brother Lászlo IV, king of Hungary, died childless, raising the issue of the succession. He had four sisters, of whom three outlived him; all four had married powerful rulers and had had their own children. On the 21 September 1290 Maria claimed the throne of Hungary. She faced counter-claims by her sisters Katalin and Elisabeth, and the children of her younger sister Anna. Maria was crowned Queen by the papal legate in Naples, though she transferred her rights to her eldest son Charles I Martel of Anjou. The pope confirmed her sole rights in Hungary on 30 August 1295. In reality Charles Martel was only titular king of Hungary (from 1290 to 1295). The real king from 1290 to 1301 was András III, son of Stefan of Hungary, duke of Slavonia, and grandson of King András II. The death of András III in 1301 marked the extinction of the Arpad kings of Hungary. Wenceslaus III, son of Wenceslaus II, king of Bohemia and Poland, ruled Hungary from 1302 to 1306. However Charles I Martel's son Charles II Robert, Maria's grandson, became king in 1307. Ultimately the claims of her sisters Maria and Katalin were united in a common descendant when the pair's great-great-granddaughter Maria II of Hungary ascended the throne in 1382. She married Emperor Sigismund in 1386 but did not have progeny.
     “In 1290 Maria's sister Elisabeth fled from Bohemia when her husband Zawisch z Rozmberk had lost favour and was executed. Maria allowed Elisabeth to stay in Naples with her. Elisabeth became a nun for a time, but left and married Stefan Uros II Milutin, Ban of Serbia (brother of Katalin's husband).
     “Maria's husband died in May 1309. She lived in Naples for the rest of her life, and died there on 25 March 1323. She was buried in Naples at the Santa Maria Donna Regina.”.³

     “Stephan V, king of Hungary, was born about 1240, the eldest son of Béla IV, king of Hungary, whom he succeeded in 1270. His mother was Maria Laskarina, a daughter of Theodoros I Komnenos Laskaris, emperor of Nicea, and Anna Komnene Angelina, the daughter of Alexios III Komnenos Angelos, emperor of Byzantium.
     “As crown prince Stephan had exhibited considerable ability, but also a disquieting restlessness and violence. He was appointed duke of Transylvania, then duke of Styria. After the loss of Styria, he became duke of Transylvania again. In 1262 Stephan convinced his father Béla to give him twenty-nine counties as a reward for his assistance in the war against Bohemia; hence Hungary was virtually divided into two kingdoms. Stephan was crowned junior king of Hungary. Though Hungary was de facto divided into two kingdoms the legal unity remained, because Stephan theoretically ruled by the grace of God and his father. He subsequently seized the southern banate of Macsó and defeated his father in the ensuing civil war. In 1268 he undertook an expedition against the Bulgarians, penetrating as far as Veliko Tarnovo and styling himself as king of Bulgaria.
     “Stephan's father, attempting to bind the powerful but pagan Cuman tribe more closely to the dynasty, had arranged for Stephan's marriage in about 1254 to Erzsebet, the daughter of a Cuman chieftain. Though Erzsebet, in preparation for the marriage, had been baptised and remained a Christian, Western Europe almost universally considered Stephan as semi-pagan.
     “To secure foreign support, Stephan formed a double matrimonial alliance with the Angevins, chief partisans of the pope. The first of these was the marriage in 1270 of his daughter Maria of Hungary to Charles II, king of Naples, Sicily and Jerusalem (they became grandparents of Charles II Robert, king of Hungary). The second alliance was the marriage of Stephan's infant son Lászlo to Charles II's sister Elisabeth d'Anjou.
     “Andronikus II Palaikologos, emperor of Byzantium, married Anna, another of Stephan's daughters, and Stefan Dragutin, king of Serbia, married Stephan's daughter Katalin.
     “Adversaries of Stephan, especially Przemysl Ottokar II, king of Bohemia, believed that Stephan was too great a friend of the mighty Cumans (who could field 16,000 men) to be a true Catholic. Ottokar endeavoured with the aid of the Hungarian malcontents to conquer the western provinces of Hungary, but they were utterly routed by Stephan in 1271 near Mosony. Ottokar relinquished all his conquests the same year in the Peace of Pressburg.
     “Stephan died suddenly on 1 August 1272 as he was raising an army to rescue his kidnapped infant son Lászlo from the rebellious vassals.”.⁴

     "ISTVÁN, son of BÉLA IV King of Hungary & his wife Maria Laskarina of Nikaia (18 Oct 1239-1 Aug 1272, Csepel Island, Dominican Monastery). The Chronicon Varadiense names "dux Stephanus postea rex, secundus…dux Bela" as the two sons of "rex Bela quartus"[966]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the birth "in festo beati Luce 1239" of "regi Hungarie filius masculus…Stephanum"[967]. The Altahenses Annales name "Stephanum filium [Belæ regis Ungarie]" when recording his succession to his father[968]. His father appointed him Prince of Transylvania in 1257. He led the Hungarian troops which invaded Bulgaria in 1261, restoring his brother-in-law Rostislav, who was one of the claimants to the Bulgarian throne after Tsar Koloman II was deposed in 1258, at Vidin. Duke of Slavonia, Dalmatia and Croatia, his father transferred these territories to his younger brother Béla in 1262, whereupon István revolted, although peace was concluded 5 Dec 1262 under which the country was divided and István retained the territory north of the Danube along the border with Bulgaria with the titles "rex iunior" and "dominus Cumanorum". Civil war broke out again in 1264, peace once more being confirmed in István's favour in 1266[969]. He succeeded his father in 1270 as ISTVÁN V King of Hungary. The Altahenses Annales record the death "1272 circa Kal Aug" of "Stephanus rex Ungarie"[970]. The Chronicon Dubnicense records the death "in magna insula" of "Stephanus" and his burial "in ecclesia beate Virginis in insula Budensi in loco Beginarum"[971]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that King István was buried "in insula…Beatæ Virginis"[972].

Regent for her son King László IV in 1272, she was hated by the Hungarians[974]. "

; Per Genealogics:
     "Her parentage is not properly established. Erzsebet was born about 1239/1240, the only child of a unnamed khan of the Kun (or Kuni) clan of Cumans. No near-contemporary source names her father. However the historian István Vásáry has concluded that she was daughter of the Kipchak Khan Seyhan, who was otherwise mentioned as being in Hungary at that time.
     "The Cumans were the western tribes of the Kipchaks, a confederation of Turkic people who spoke the Kipchak language. Erzsebet's people followed a Shamanist religion and were considered pagans by the Christians of Europe.
     "In 1238 the Cumans under their leader Köten/Kuthen invaded the kingdom of Hungary while fleeing from the advancing hordes of the Mongol empire. Béla IV of Hungary negotiated an alliance with Köten and his people, granting them asylum in exchange for their conversion to the Catholic Church and loyalty to the king. However, just before the Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1240-1241, Köten, who was considered a dangerous alien, was murdered; the Cumans left Hungary but were resettled there by Béla in 1245. The kinship of Erzsebet's father to the earlier, murdered khan Köten is not known, but it has long been believed they were related.
     "To seal the Cumans' allegiance to Béla IV, about 1246 the six-year-old Kun princess Erzsebet was betrothed to the seven-year-old Stephan, eldest son and heir of Béla. Erzsebet was converted to Roman Catholicism in preparation of her marriage, which occurred in 1253.
     "In 1262 Stephan convinced his father to give him twenty-nine counties as a reward of assistance in the war against Przemysl Ottokar II of Bohemia. He was crowned junior co-ruler and in practice ruled his regions as a separate kingdom, setting up his own capital and adopting foreign policies directly contrary to those of his father. Erzsebet, who was now Stephan's queen, had six children, of whom three daughters would have progeny. She gave birth to her eldest child, her daughter Maria, in 1257.
     "In 1270 Stephan succeeded his father as king of all Hungary. When he died on 6 August 1272 Erzsebet became regent for their ten-year-old son Lászlo IV of Hungary. Her regency lasted until 1277 and saw palace revolutions and civil wars. Erzsebet's Cuman allies filled many positions of the court and of the administration of Hungary during the reigns of her husband and her son.
     "Erzsebet's upbringing of her son would cause problems for his reign. Laszlo favoured the society of the Cumans, from whom he was descended through his mother. He wore Cuman dress and surrounded himself with Cuman concubines, alienating the Hungarian nobility. His later attempts to regain their loyalty alienated some of the Cumans. On 10 July 1290 he was murdered in his tent by Cumans while camped in Bihar county.
     "Erzsebet's eldest daughter Maria, queen-consort of Naples through her marriage to Charles II, king of Naples, Sicily and Jerusalem, became the heiress of her childless younger brother Lászlo IV. She claimed the Hungarian throne as Queen Maria I, being crowned as queen by order of the pope (though her reign would be only titular).
     "By then Erzsebet had probably also died. There is no mention of her in the reign of Lászlo's cousin András III of Hungary. There is a tradition that she died in 1290, the year of Lászlo's death."¹

     EDV22 GKJ-23. He was King of Hungary, 1235-1270: BELA IV. A strong ruler who tried desperately to make good the losses of the preceding reign. The magnates, in reply, attempted to set up a rival ruler, and Bela in turn allowed some 40,000 families of Cumans, who were driven westward by the Mongol invasions, to settle in the Theiss (Tisza) region in the hope of securing support against the magnates.

1241: The great Mongol invasion, which took the country by surprise, in the midst of its own dissensions. Bela's army was overwhelmingly defeated at Muhi on the Theiss, and he was obliged to flee to the Adriatic. The Mongols followed him, but suddenly gave up their conquests when news arrived of the death of the Great Khan. Nevertheless, the Mongol invasion left the country devastated. For defense purposes, the nobility was allowed to build castles, and these soon became bases for feudal warfare and for campaigns against the king himself.

; Per Med Lands:
     "ANDRÁS, son of BÉLA III King of Hungary & his first wife Agnès [Anna] de Châtillon-sur-Loing (1176-21 Sep 1235, bur Egres, Cistercian Abbey). The Chronicon Varadiense names "primus…dux Henricus…secundus dux Andreas…tertius dux Salamon et quartus…dux Stephanus" as the four sons of "rex Bela tertius filius Geysæ"[809]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names (in order) "Haymericum et Andream…et duas reginas Constantiam de Boemia et Margaretam de Grecia" as children of "rex Bela de Hungaria" and his wife Agnes[810]. After the accession of his brother, András demanded Croatia and Dalmatia as an appanage but this was refused. He revolted, and by 1198 obtained his demands and became Duke of Croatia and Dalmatia[811]. He and subsequent dukes acted as the king of Hungary's deputy in the kingdom of Croatia. "Andreas, tertii Belæ regis filius…Dalmatiæ, Croatiæ, Ramæ, Culmæque dux" appointed "Pharensi episcopum" by charter dated 1198, witnessed by "Andrea Bano, comite Macharia, comite Ioseph, comite Marco, comite Andronico filio Bani camerario ducis Wenceslao…"[812]. He conquered western Hum [Hercegovina] as far as the river Neretva in 1198[813]. The Continuatio Admuntensis records that he was arrested in 1203, suspected of plotting to take over the kingdom, and imprisoned "in palacio Strigoniensi quod alio nomine Gran vocatur"[814]. He ousted his nephew in 1205 and succeeded as ANDRÁS II King of Hungary. He played an active part in the dismemberment of Galich-Volynia after the death of Roman Mstislavich Prince of Galich in 1205, Hungary and Poland eventually agreeing the division of the territories between them under the treaty of Spisz in 1214, although Hungary expelled Poland from Peremyshl and Lyubachev in 1215/1216[815]. In 1211, King András hired the Order of Teutonic Knights, who had been expelled back to Europe from Palestine, to defend the eastern frontier of Transylvania against the Kumans[816], but they attempted to establish their autonomy there under the protection of the Pope. King András set sail from Split for Palestine on crusade in Oct 1217, but left Acre in early 1218 having achieved little besides acquiring a small collection of religious relics[817]. He returned by the land route, via Constantinople, but at the end of 1218 he was seized in Bulgarian territory and released only after agreeing the marriage of his daughter to Ivan Asen II Tsar of Bulgaria[818]. He threatened war with Serbia after Grand Župan Stefan was crowned king of Serbia by the papal legate in 1217, claiming that he alone had the right to this title, but did not carry out the threat[819]. King András's abuses caused the Hungarian nobles to rebel in 1222 and forced him to issue the Golden Bull, a charter defining the rights of the nobility and restricting the king's right to appoint foreigners to office without the consent of the Council[820]. According to Goldstein, this reform was forced by the rebellion of the lower nobility in Croatia[821]. King András expelled the Teutonic Knights in 1225[822] on the pretext of their having disobeyed his orders. In 1227, Bortz Khan of the Kumans swore allegiance to the king of Hungary after ordering the baptism of his people, rex Cumaniæ being added to the titles of the Hungarian king soon after[823]. King András attacked north-west Bulgaria in 1232 and recaptured Beograd and Brani?evo/Barancs which he had been forced to cede as part of the dowry of his daughter Maria. He crossed the Danube into Wallachia where the Hungarians created a Banate in the Severin region[824]. The Chronicon Dubnicense records the death in 1235 of "Andreas filius Bele" and his burial "in monasterio de Egrus"[825]. The Chronicon Zagrabiense records the death "XI Kal Oct" in 1235 of "rex Andreas filius regis Belæ III" and his burial "in monasterio suo Egres"[826]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1235 of "Andreas rex Hungarie" and his burial "in civitate Waradino"[827].
     "m firstly (before 1203) GERTRUD von Andechs-Merano, daughter of BERTHOLD III Duke of Merano, Marchese of Istria, Graf von Andechs & his wife Agnes von Wettin (-murdered 8 Sep 1213). The Continuatio Admuntensis refers to "filiam Perhtoldi ducis Meranie" as wife of "Andream fratrem suum [=rex Heinricus Ungarorum]", recording that she was deprived of all her goods and sent back home when her husband was arrested in 1203, but recalled after the death of King Imre in 1204[828]. She was killed by a conspiracy of nobles shocked by the life of luxury she led and favouritism she showed to her German relatives, recounted in József Katona's historical drama Bánk bán[829]. The Chronicon Dubnicense records that "Gerdrudis de Alamana" wife of "Andreas filius Bele" was killed by "Bankbanus de genere Bor oriundus" and buried "in monasterio griseorum monachorum de Pelys"[830]. The Continuatio Prædictorum Vindobonensium records that "Gerdrudis regina Ungarie" was killed "campestri tentorio IV Kal Oct 1213, eo quot fratri suo carnali patriarche Aquilegensi uxorem Bantzi procaverat, qui teutonice Prenger vocatur"[831]. The necrology of Diessen records the death "IV Kal Oct" of "Gerdrudis regina Ungarie ab hominibus illius terre interfecta…filia Berhtoldi ducis Meranie"[832]. The De Fundatoribus Monasterii Diessenses records that "Gerdrudis regina Ungarie…filia Pertoldi quondam ducis Meranie" was killed "IV Kal Oct" in 1200, although the year is incorrect[833].
     "m secondly (Feb 1215) YOLANDE de Courtenay, daughter of PIERRE II de Courtenay Seigneur de Courtenay, Comte de Nevers, d’Auxerre et de Tonnerre, Marquis de Namur [later Latin Emperor of Constantinople] & his wife Yolande de Flandre ([1200]-1233, bur Egres Abbey). William of Tyre (Continuator) specifies that the queen of Hungary (unnamed) was the sister of the Latin emperor of Constantinople[834]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "unam filiarum eius [Namucensis comitis Petri] Hyolenz" as the wife of "Andreas rex Ungarie"[835].

Her sister Agnés, a famous beauty, married King Philippe II August of France. Another sister Hedwig, married to Henryk I 'the Bearded', Herzog von Schlesien und Krakau, was canonised as St. Hedwig of Meran.
     "Before 1203 Gertrud married András II, son of Béla III, king of Hungary, and his second wife Agnes of Antioch. András succeeded his father as king of Hungary in 1205. They had five children of whom Béla IV, Elisabeth and Maria would have progeny. Béla IV would succeed his father, Elisabeth became the wife of Ludwig IV 'der Heilige', Landgraf von Thüringen, and be canonised as St. Elisabeth of Hungary, and Maria became the wife of Iwan Asen II, tsar of Bulgaria.
     "Gertrud had made herself hated by her frequent interferences in Hungary's politics, supporting German influence, and by her greed. On 24 September 1213 when her husband was at war, she was murdered by Hungarian noblemen. Due to the political situation at the time most of her murderers remained unpunished during the rule of András. However Gertrud's son Béla IV took revenge on them after he became king. Gertrud is the main character in Ferenc Erkel's opera _Bánk bán,_ based on a stage play of the same title by József Katona. Bánk, a nobleman who was bán (viceroy) of King András in Croatia and Slavonia, and palatine of Hungary in 1213, joined the conspiracy that led to the murder of Gertrud, though his precise role in the deed is unclear. He was seen as a man of state who was torn between loyalty to his king and loyalty to his compatriots, who were incensed by the German queen's prodigality and the growing influence of her entourage."⁸

      ; St. Elizabeth of Hungary

Also called St. Elizabeth of Thuringia, born in Hungary, probably at Pressburg, 1207; died at Marburg, Hesse, 17 November (not 19 November), 1231.

She was a daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary (1205-35) and his wife Gertrude, a member of the family of the Counts of Andechs-Meran; Elizabeth's brother succeeded his father on the throne of Hungary as Bela IV; the sister of her mother, Gertrude, was St. Hedwig, wife of Duke Heinrich I, the Bearded, of Silesia, while another saint, St. Elizabeth (Isabel) of Portugal (d. 1336), the wife of the tyrannical King Diniz of that country, was her great-niece.

In 1211 a formal embassy was sent by Landgrave Hermann I of Thuringia to Hungary to arrange, as was customary in that age, a marriage between his eldest son Hermann and Elizabeth, who was then four years old. This plan of a marriage was the result of political considerations and was intended to be the ratification of a great alliance which in the political schemes of the time it was sought to form against the German Emperor Otto IV, a member of the house of Guelph, who had quarrelled with the Church. Not long after this the little girl was taken to the Thuringian court to be brought up with her future husband and, in the course of time, to be betrothed to him.

The court of Thuringia was at this period famous for its magnificence. Its centre was the stately castle of the Wartburg, splendidly placed on a hill in the Thuringian Forest near Eisenach, where the Landgrave Hermann lived surrounded by poets and minnesingers, to whom he was a generous patron. Notwithstanding the turbulence and purely secular life of the court and the pomp of her surroundings, the little girl grew up a very religious child with an evident inclination to prayer and pious observances and small acts of self-mortification. These religious impulses were undoubtedly strengthened by the sorrowful experiences of her life.

In 1213 Elizabeth's mother, Gertrude, was murdered by Hungarian nobles, probably out of hatred of the Germans. On 31 December, 1216, the oldest son of the landgrave, Hermann, who Elizabeth was to marry, died; after this she was betrothed to Ludwig, the second son. It was probably in these years that Elizabeth had to suffer the hostility of the more frivolous members of the Thuringian court, to whom the contemplative and pious child was a constant rebuke. Ludwig, however, must have soon come to her protection against any ill-treatment. The legend that arose later is incorrect in making Elizabeth's mother-in-law, the Landgravine Sophia, a member of the reigning family of Bavaria, the leader of this court party. On the contrary, Sophia was a very religious and charitable woman and a kindly mother to the little Elizabeth.

The political plans of the old Landgrave Hermann involved him in great difficulties and reverses; he was excommunicated, lost his mind towards the end of his life, and died, 25 April, 1217, unreconciled with the Church. He was succeeded by his son Ludwig IV, who, in 1221, was also made regent of Meissen and the East Mark. The same year (1221) Ludwig and Elizabeth were married, the groom being twenty-one years old and the bride fourteen. The marriage was in every regard a happy and exemplary one, and the couple were devotedly attached to each other. Ludwig proved himself worthy of his wife. He gave his protection to her acts of charity, penance, and her vigils, and often held Elizabeth's hands as she knelt praying at night beside his bed. He was also a capable ruler and brave soldier. The Germans call him St. Ludwig, an appellation given to him as one of the best men of his age and the pious husband of St. Elizabeth.

They had three children: Hermann II (1222-41), who died young; Sophia (1224-84), who married Henry II, Duke of Brabant, and was the ancestress of the Landgraves of Hesse, as in the war of the Thuringian succession she won Hesse for her son Heinrich I, called the Child; Gertrude (1227-97), Elizabeth's third child, was born several weeks after the death of her father; in after-life she became abbess of the convent of Altenberg near Wetzlar.

Shortly after their marriage, Elizabeth and Ludwig made a journey to Hungary; Ludwig was often after this employed by the Emperor Frederick II, to whom he was much attached, in the affairs of the empire. In the spring of 1226, when floods, famine, and the pest wrought havoc in Thuringia, Ludwig was in Italy attending the Diet at Cremona on behalf of the emperor and the empire. Under these circumstances Elizabeth assumed control of affairs, distributed alms in all parts of the territory of her husband, giving even state robes and ornaments to the poor. In order to care personally for the unfortunate she built below the Wartburg a hospital with twenty-eight beds and visited the inmates daily to attend to their wants; at the same time she aided nine hundred poor daily. It is this period of her life that has preserved Elizabeth's fame to posterity as the gentle and charitable chételaine of the Wartburg. Ludwig on his return confirmed all she had done. The next year (1227) he started with the Emperor Frederick II on a crusade to Palestine but died, 11 September of the same year at Otranto, from the pest. The news did not reach Elizabeth until October, just after she had given birth to her third child. On hearing the tidings Elizabeth, who was only twenty years old, cried out: "The world with all its joys is now dead to me."

The fact that in 1221 the followers of St. Francis of Assisi (d. 1226) made their first permanent settlement in Germany was one of great importance in the later career of Elizabeth. Brother Rodeger, one of the first Germans whom the provincial for Germany, Caesarius of Speier, received into the order, was for a time the spiritual instructor of Elizabeth at the Wartburg; in his teachings he unfolded to her the ideals of St. Francis, and these strongly appealed to her. With the aid of Elizabeth the Franciscans in 1225 founded a monastery in Eisenach; Brother Rodeger, as his fellow-companion in the order, Jordanus, reports, instructed Elizabeth, to observe, according to her state of life, chastity, humility, patience, the exercise of prayer, and charity. Her position prevented the attainment of the other ideal of St. Francis, voluntary and complete poverty. Various remarks of Elizabeth to her female attendants make it clear how ardently she desired the life of poverty. After a while the post Brother Rodeger had filled was assumed by Master Conrad of Marburg, who belonged to no order, but was a very ascetic and, it must be acknowledged, a somewhat rough and very severe man. He was well known as a preacher of the crusade and also as an inquisitor or judge in cases of heresy. On account of the latter activity he has been more severely judged than is just; at the present day, however, the estimate of him is a fairer one. Pope Gregory IX, who wrote at times to Elizabeth, recommended her himself to the God-fearing preacher. Conrad treated Elizabeth with inexorable severity, even using corporal means of correction; nevertheless, he brought her with a firm hand by the road of self-mortification to sanctity, and after her death was very active in her canonization. Although he forbade her to follow St. Francis in complete poverty as a beggar, yet, on the other hand, by the command to keep her dower she was enabled to perform works of charity and tenderness.

Up to 1888 it was believed, on account of the testimony of one of Elizabeth's servants in the process of canonization, that Elizabeth was driven from the Wartburg in the winter of 1227 by her brother-in-law, Heinrich Raspe, who acted as regent for her son, then only five years old. About 1888 various investigators (Börner, Mielke, Wenck, E. Michael, etc.) asserted that Elizabeth left the Wartburg voluntarily, the only compulsion being a moral one. She was not able at the castle to follow Conrad's command to eat only food obtained in a way that was certainly right and proper. Lately, however, Huyskens (1907) tried to prove that Elizabeth was driven from the castle at Marburg in Hesse, which was hers by dower right. Consequently, the Te Deum that she directed the Franciscans to sing on the night of her expulsion would have been sung in the Franciscan monastery at Marburg. Accompanied by two female attendants, Elizabeth left the castle that stands on a height commanding Marburg. The next day her children were brought to her, but they were soon taken elsewhere to be cared for. Elizabeth's aunt, Matilda, Abbess of the Benedictine nunnery of Kitzingen near Würzburg, took charge of the unfortunate landgravine and sent her to her uncle Eckbert, Bishop of Bamberg. The bishop, however, was intent on arranging another marriage for her, although during the lifetime of her husband Elizabeth had made a vow of continence in case of his death; the same vow had also been taken by her attendants. While Elizabeth was maintaining her position against her uncle the remains of her husband were brought to Bamberg by his faithful followers who had carried them from Italy. Weeping bitterly, she buried the body in the family vault of the landgraves of Thuringia in the monastery of Reinhardsbrunn. With the aid of Conrad she now received the value of her dower in money, namely two thousand marks; of this sum she divided five hundred marks in one day among the poor. On Good Friday, 1228, in the Franciscan house at Eisenach Elizabeth formally renounced the world; then going to Master Conrad at Marburg, she and her maids received from him the dress of the Third Order of St. Francis, thus being among the first tertiaries of Germany. In the summer of 1228 she built the Franciscan hospital at Marburg and on its completion devoted herself entirely to the care of the sick, especially to those afflicted with the most loathsome diseases. Conrad of Marburg still imposed many self-mortifications and spiritual renunciations, while at the same time he even took from Elizabeth her devoted domestics. Constant in her devotion to God, Elizabeth's strength was consumed by her charitable labours, and she passed away at the age of twenty-four, a time when life to most human beings is just opening.

Very soon after the death of Elizabeth miracles began to be worked at her grave in the church of the hospital, especially miracles of healing. Master Conrad showed great zeal in advancing the process of canonization. By papal command three examinations were held of those who had been healed: namely, in August, 1232, January, 1233, and January, 1235. Before the process reached its end, however, Conrad was murdered, 30 July, 1233. But the Teutonic Knights in 1233 founded a house at Marburg, and in November, 1234, Conrad, Landgrave of Thuringia, the brother-in-law of Elizabeth, entered the order. At Pentecost (28 May) of the year 1235, the solemn ceremony of canonization of the "greatest woman of the German Middle Ages" was celebrated by Gregory IX at Perugia, Landgrave Conrad being present. In August of the same year (1235) the corner-stone of the beautiful Gothic church of St. Elizabeth was laid at Marburg; on 1 May, 1236, Emperor Frederick II attended the taking-up of the body of the saint; in 1249 the remains were placed in the choir of the church of St. Elizabeth, which was not consecrated until 1283. Pilgrimages to the grave soon increased to such importance that at times they could be compared to those to the shrine of Santiago de Compostela. In 1539 Philip the Magnanimous, Landgrave of Hesse, who had become a Protestant, put an end to the pilgrimages by unjustifiable interference with the church that belonged to the Teutonic Order and by forcibly removing the relics and all that was sacred to Elizabeth. Nevertheless, the entire German people still honour the "dear St. Elizabeth" as she is called; in 1907 a new impulse was given to her veneration in Germany and Austria by the celebration of the seven hundredth anniversary of her birth. St. Elizabeth is generally represented as a princess graciously giving alms to the wretched poor or as holding roses in her lap; in the latter case she is portrayed either alone or as surprised by her husband, who, according to a legend, which is, however, related of other saints as well, met her unexpectedly as she went secretly on an errand of mercy, and, so the story runs, the bread she was trying to conceal was suddenly turned into roses.²

     "Berthold IV (c. 1159 – 12 August 1204), a member of the House of Andechs, was Margrave of Istria and Carniola (as Berthold II). By about 1180/82 he already bore the title of Duke of Merania, that is, the Adriatic seacoast of Dalmatia and Istria.
Life
     "Berthold was the son of Count Berthold III of Andechs and his wife Hedwig of Wittelsbach. His father had been a loyal liensman of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and in turn was enfeoffed with the Istrian march upon the death of the Sponheim margrave Engelbert III.
     "Young Berthold IV first appeared in 1170 and was mentioned as Count of Andechs in an 1172 deed. In 1175 he served as co-ruler in the March of Istria. After Emperor Frederick deposed Duke Henry the Lion in 1180, his mother's relative Otto of Wittelsbach received the Duchy of Bavaria, while Berthold was received the Duchy of Merania.[1] The rule over "Merania" actually encompassed the same area as the old Istrian margraviate, but its ruler now gained much prestige from his new title and the comital House of Andechs was elevated to Princes of the Holy Roman Empire.
     "In 1186, he accompanied Emperor Frederick's son Henry VI to Italy and his marriage with Constance of Sicily. In 1189, he led the third division of the imperial army and was its standard-bearer on the Third Crusade. In 1195, he appeared as Vogt (reeve) of Tegernsee Abbey in Bavaria. Berthold committed himself to join the Crusade of 1197, however, he did not participate until Henry's death in the same year. Though he had opposed the emperor's Erbreichsplan, he backed the claims of Henry's younger brother Philip of Swabia against the politics of Pope Innocent III who supported Philip's Welf rival Otto IV. At this juncture, the House of Andechs was at the height of its power and influence, with extended possessions stretching from Franconia down to the Adriatic.
     "Berthold died in 1204 and was buried at the Andechs private monastery in Dießen, Bavaria.
Marriage and issue
     "About 1180, Berthold married Agnes of Rochlitz (died 25 March 1195), a daughter of Margrave Dedi III of Lusatia from the Saxon House of Wettin. They had the following children:
     "While passing through Serbia on the Third Crusade, Frederick Barbarossa met the Grand Prince Stefan Nemanja in Niš on 27 July 1189. There it was negotiated that a daughter of Berthold would marry Tohu, son of Prince Miroslav of Zahumlje on the feast of Saint George next (24 April 1190). This marriage does not seem to have taken place and the Historia de Expeditione Friderici Imperatoris does not name the daughter. Scholars are divided over whether it was one of Berthold's known daughters or else a fifth daughter not otherwise recorded.[2]

     "Bohemond II (1107/1108 – February 1130) was Prince of Taranto from 1111 to 1128 and Prince of Antioch from 1111/1119 to 1130. He was the son of Bohemond I, who in 1108 was forced to submit to the authority of the Byzantine Empire in the Treaty of Devol. Three years later, the infant Bohemond inherited the Principality of Taranto under the guardianship of his mother, Constance of France. The Principality of Antioch was administered by his father's nephew, Tancred, until 1111. Tancred's cousin, Roger of Salerno, managed the principality from 1111 to 1119. After Roger died in the Battle of the Field of Blood, Baldwin II of Jerusalem took over the administration of Antioch. However, he did acknowledge Bohemond's right to personally rule the principality upon reaching the age of majority.
     "Bohemond came to Antioch in autumn 1126. He launched successful military campaigns against the nearby Moslem rulers, but his conflict with Joscelin I of Courtenay enabled Imad ad-Din Zengi to secure Mosul and Aleppo. Meanwhile, Roger II of Sicily occupied the Principality of Taranto in 1128. Bohemond died fighting against Danishmend Emir Gazi Gümüshtigin during a military campaign against Cilician Armenia, and Gümüshtigin sent Bohemond's embalmed head to the Abbasid Caliph.
Early life
     "Bohemond II was the son of Bohemond I, Prince of Taranto and Antioch, and Constance of France.[1] He was born in 1107 or 1108.[2][3] In 1104, Bohemond I returned to Europe to seek military assistance against the Byzantine Empire and left his nephew Tancred in Syria to administer Antioch.[4] Two charters show that Tancred styled himself "prince of Antioch" in 1108.[5] In September of that year, Bohemond I was forced to sign the Treaty of Devol, which authorized the Byzantine Empire to annex the Principality of Antioch upon his death.[6]
     "Bohemond I died in Apulia in 1111. Bohemond II was still a minor,[7] so his mother took charge of the government of Taranto.[8] The Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos sent envoys to Tancred to demand control of Antioch, but Tancred refused to obey and continued to govern the principality.[9] Tancred died in 1112 and bequeathed Antioch to his sister's son, Roger of Salerno.[10][11]
     "Roger's legal status during his rule in Antioch is uncertain.[12] According to William of Tyre, Tancred made Roger his successor "with the understanding that, at the demand of Bohemond or his heirs, he should not refuse to return it," suggesting that Roger was simply regent for the child Bohemond.[13] Roger adopted the title of prince, which implies that he regarded himself the ruler of Antioch in his own right.[12][14] The contemporaneous Fulcher of Chartres accused Roger of depriving of "his inheritence his own lord, the son of Bohemond [I], then living in Apulia with his mother."[15] Charters issued in Bohemond's Italian domains between 1117 and 1119 emphasized that he was the son of the prince of Antioch, but did not style him prince.[16]
     "After Roger and most Antiochene noblemen perished in the Battle of the Field of Blood on 28 June 1119, Baldwin II of Jerusalem hurried to Syria to save Antioch from Ilghazi, the Artuqid ruler of Mardin.[17][18] The notables of Antioch proclaimed Baldwin ruler of Antioch, but they emphasized that Antioch was Bohemond's "rightful inheritance," according to Walter the Chancellor.[15][19] Baldwin promised to cede Antioch to Bohemond if Bohemond came to the principality.[15] Those who were present at the meeting agreed that Bohemond should marry Baldwin's daughter, Alice.[19][20] They also decreed that Bohemond would not be entitled to reclaim grants made during his absence from the principality.[20]
     "Baldwin II was captured in 1123,[21] and the burghers of Antioch sent envoys to Bohemond, urging him to come to his principality.[22] Bohemond reached the age of majority at the age of 16.[2] According to William of Tyre, he made an agreement with William II, Duke of Apulia, stipulating that the one who first died without issue was to will his principality to the other; however, the reliability of William's report is suspect.[23][24] Alexander of Telese recorded that before leaving for Syria, Bohemond entrusted his Italian domains to the Holy See, but Romuald of Salerno said that he made Alexander, Count of Conversano, the overseer of those lands.[23][25] Bohemond sailed from Otranto with a fleet of twenty-four ships in September 1126.[26]
Prince of Antioch
     "Bohemond landed at the port of St. Symeon in the Principality of Antioch in October or November.[20][22] He went to Antioch to meet Baldwin II of Jerusalem, who subsequently ceded Antioch to him.[26] Bohemond was officially installed as prince in Baldwin's presence.[27]
     "Matthew of Edessa portrayed Bohemond as "a forceful character and great power."[27] Badr ad-Daulah captured Kafartab shortly after Bohemond's arrival, but Bohemond quickly recaptured the fortress in early 1127.[26][27] According to historian Steven Runciman, Bohemond's attack against the Munqidhites of Shaizar, which was recorded by Usama ibn Munqidh, also occurred during this period.[26][27]
     "Bohemond came into conflict with Joscelin I of Edessa in 1127,[28][22] although sources do not reveal the reason behind the enmity of the two Christian rulers.[28] According to Runciman, Joscelin seized former Antiochene territories from Il-Bursuqi, governor of Mosul. Furthermore, Bohemond refused to cede Azaz to Joscelin, despite the fact that Roger of Salerno promised it to Joscelin as the dowry of his second wife, Maria of Salerno.[29] Taking advantage of Bohemond's absence due to a campaign, Joscelin invaded Antioch with the assistance of Turkish mercenaries, plundering the villages along the frontier.[29]
     "Bernard of Valence, Latin Patriarch of Antioch, imposed an interdict on the County of Edessa.[29] Baldwin II of Jerusalem hurried to Syria to mediate between Bohemond and Joscelin in early 1128.[22][29] Joscelin, who had become seriously ill, agreed to restore the property to Bohemond and to do homage to him.[30] However, the conflict between Bohemond and Joscelin enabled Imad ad-Din Zengi, Il-Bursuqi's successor as governor of Mosul, to seize Aleppo without resistance on 28 June 1128.[31]
     "Meanwhile, Bohemond's cousin, William II of Apulia, had died without issue on 25 July 1127.[24] Pope Honorius II tried to prevent Roger II of Sicily (the cousin of both William and Bohemond) from seizing Apulia, but Roger did not obey him.[25] In May 1128, he invaded Bohemond's Italian principality,[25] capturing Taranto, Otranto and Brindisi without resistance.[25] He completed the conquest of the whole principality around 15 June.[25]
     "Taking advantage of the disputes between the Assassins and Taj al-Muluk Buri, atabeg of Damascus, Baldwin II of Jerusalem invaded Damascene territory and laid siege to Banias in November 1129.[32] Bohemond and Joscelin joined Baldwin, but a heavy rainfall forced the crusaders to abandon the siege.[32][28]
     "Bohemond decided to recover Anazarbus and other territories which had been lost to the Cilician Armenia.[33] He invaded Cilicia in February 1130, traveling along the Ceyhan River.[34] Leo I of Cilicia sought assistance from the Danishmend Emir Gazi Gümüshtigin who made a surprise attack on Bohemond's army.[35] Bohemond and his soldiers were massacred in the battle.[36][37] According to Michael the Syrian, the Turks killed Bohemond because they did not recognize him; had they recognized him, they would have saved him so they could demand a ransom from him.[38] Gümüshtigin had Bohemond's head embalmed and sent to Al-Mustarshid, the Abbasid Caliph.[35]
Family
     "Bohemond's wife, Alice, was the second daughter of Baldwin II of Jerusalem and Morphia of Melitene.[41] Their only child, Constance, was two when Bohemond died in 1130.[42] Alice tried to secure the regency for Constance for herself, but the Antiochene noblemen preferred her father, Baldwin II of Jerusalem.[42] After Bohemond's death, Roger II of Sicily laid claim to Antioch, but he could never assert it against Constance.[43]

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Alice of Jerusalem (also Haalis, Halis, or Adelicia; c. 1110 - after 1136) was a Princess consort of Antioch by marriage to Bohemond II of Antioch. She engaged in a longlasting power struggle during the reign of her daughter Constance of Antioch.
Life
     "Alice was the second daughter of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem and Morphia of Melitene. She had three sisters. She was an aunt of Kings Baldwin III and Amalric I. Of her other sisters, Hodierna married Raymond II of Tripoli, and Ioveta became abbess of the convent in Bethany.
Princess consort of Antioch
     "Baldwin II had become regent of Antioch after the defeat of the principality at the Battle of Ager Sanguinis in 1119. In 1126, the 18-year-old Bohemond, son of Bohemond I, the first prince of Antioch, arrived to claim his inheritance. Immediately after the principality was handed over to him, Bohemond was married to Alice; the marriage was likely part of the negotiations prior to Bohemond's arrival.
Power struggle with Baldwin
     "In 1130 Bohemond was killed in battle with the Danishmends, and Baldwin returned to Antioch to assume the regency, but Alice wanted the city for herself. She attempted to make an alliance with Zengi, the Seljuk atabeg of Mosul and Aleppo, offering to marry her daughter to a Muslim prince. The messenger sent by Alice to Zengi was captured on the way by Baldwin, and was tortured and executed. Alice refused to let Baldwin enter Antioch, but some of the Antiochene nobles opened the gates for Baldwin's representatives, Fulk, Count of Anjou (Alice's brother-in-law) and Joscelin I of Edessa. Alice at first fled to the citadel but finally flung herself on her father's mercy and they were reconciled. She was expelled from Antioch, but was allowed to keep for herself Latakia and Jabala, the cities which had been her dowry when she had married Bohemond. Baldwin left Antioch under the regency of Joscelin, ruling for Alice and Bohemond's young daughter Constance.
Power struggle with Fulk
     "Baldwin also died in 1131. Baldwin was succeeded in Jerusalem by his eldest daughter, Alice's sister Melisende and her husband Fulk. Joscelin, too, died soon afterwards, and Alice again attempted to take control of Antioch, not wishing her young daughter to inherit the principality. The Antiochene nobles appealed to Fulk for help, and Alice allied with the rulers of the other two northern Crusader states, Pons of Tripoli and Joscelin I's son Joscelin II. Pons would not allow Fulk to pass through the County of Tripoli, and Fulk was forced to travel to Antioch by sea. Both Pons and Joscelin probably feared that Fulk wanted to impose the suzerainty of Jerusalem over the northern states, although it was also rumoured that Alice had simply bribed them. Fulk and Pons fought a battle near Rugia, but peace was eventually made, and Fulk restored the regency in Antioch, placing the principality under the control of Reynald Masoier.
Marriage of Constance
     "Around 1135, Alice again attempted to take control of Antioch, negotiating with the Byzantine Empire for a husband for Constance; the future emperor Manuel Comnenus was a candidate. Some of the nobles of the principality, however, not wanting a Greek alliance, secretly summoned Raymond of Poitiers to marry Constance. The Patriarch, Ralph of Domfront, convinced Alice that Raymond was coming to marry her, but instead he himself performed the wedding of Raymond and the still-underage Constance. Alice was humiliated and left Antioch, never to return. She died in Latakia after 1136.

He was the first to get into position before the city of Antioch in Palestine, and was responsible for the successful end of the siege in 1098. He was able to persuade one of the commanders in the city to betray his people. He was unwilling to act before he wasn't assured that the city would be his possession. He was taken prisoner in August 1100 and was released in 1103 after Baldwin of Boulonge had paid a ransom. In 1104 he went to Europe to gather an army to fight Emperor Alexios I of Byzantinum.

     “Boemund was born in 1058, the eldest son of Robert Guiscard, duke of Apulia, and his first wife Alberade di Buonalberga, who was divorced by his father in 1058. He inherited Robert's large size and height. His father gave him command of the campaign against Byzantine Illyria in 1081. He captured Valona, was defeated in a naval battle by the Venetians allied with Byzantium, but then laid siege to Durazzo. During his father's temporary absence attacking Rome, Boemund lost most of the conquered territory. On the death of his father, he fought his half-brother Roger, whom his father had designated sole heir in Apulia. Moving southwards from his castle at Tarento, he captured Oria and Otranto, and was able to force peace in return for the grant, not only of Oria and Otranto, but also of Gallipoli, Tarento and Brindisi together with the region between Conversano and Brindisi, with the title Prince of Tarento. In 1090 he annexed Bari, but was faced with rebellion by the count of Conversano and the lord of Montescaglioso.
     “As one of the leaders of the First Crusade, Boemund swore allegiance to Emperor Alexios I Komnenos of Byzantium in April 1097, agreeing that the emperor should become overlord of any new principalities founded by the crusaders and that any land captured which had previously belonged to the empire should be handed back to Byzantium. He played a decisive role in the capture of Antioch on 28 June 1098 after a siege lasting eight months. The leaders of the crusade disagreed about which of them should control Antioch. After Raymond 'de Saint-Gilles', comte de Toulouse, finally marched south in January 1099 to continue the crusade, Boemund remained in possession of Antioch.
     “He declared himself Boemund I, prince of Antioch in defiance of his oath of allegiance to the emperor. He was confirmed as prince of Antioch in Jerusalem at Christmas 1099 by Daibert, the newly elected patriarch of Jerusalem, although with doubtful authority as John of Oxeia had been appointed patriarch of Antioch. He enlarged his principality by taking Edessa. He was captured by the Danishmend emir Malik Ghazi in 1100 while defending his new acquisition against the Turks. While in captivity he is said to have had an affaire with either the emir's daughter or one of his wives. He negotiated his release in 1103 for a payment of a ransom of 100,000 besants, and returned to Antioch where he resumed his position in place of his nephew Tancred who had been installed as regent in his absence. Together with Joscelin de Courtenay, he captured Muslimiye in the summer of 1103 and Basarfut in March 1104, both in the territory of Aleppo. In the summer of 1104 the Byzantines recaptured Tarsus, Adana and Mamistra.
     “Faced with these attacks from both the Turks and Byzantium, both of whose interests were threatened by the establishment of the new principality of Antioch on their borders, Boemund appointed his nephew Tancred as regent in Antioch and returned to Europe in 1104 for reinforcements, with a view particularly to attacking Alexios I, emperor of Byzantium.
     “On 25/26 May 1106 at Chartres he married Constance de France, daughter of Philippe I, king of France, and Bertha of Holland, and divorced wife of Hugues I, comte de Troyes. Boemund and Constance had two sons, Boemund, who would succeed his father in 1126, marry and have progeny, and Jean.
     “With English, French and Papal support, Boemund marched on Byzantium, but was defeated at Avlona near Durazzo in October 1107. Emperor Alexios confirmed him as prince of Antioch, but obliged him to accept Byzantine suzerainty in the Treaty of Devol of 1108. Boemund lived the rest of his life in Apulia, and died at Bari in 1111.”.¹³

; Per Fletcher [1990:81-85]:
     "While it would be idle to deny that many participants in the First Crusade were fired by motives of the most exalted idealism, or that such motives could co-exist with self-interested ones, it is undoubtedly the case that large numbers of the crusaders were out for what they could get. Among the leaders this was especially true of Robert Guiscard's son Bohemond.
     "The emperor Alexius Comnenus was apprehensive when he heard that Bohemond had joined the crusade in 1096. As we have seen, Bohemond had accompanied his father in the invasion of the Balkan provinces of the empire in 1081-4. Bohemond had been promised that he could hold any lands conquered there as his own principality. He was unshakeably hostile to the empire and had perhaps convinced himself that he had some sort of claim upon a part of its territory. His reception in Constantinople in the spring of 1097 was of the most guarded kind, while Bohemond for his part feared that the emperor might try to poison him. 'He not only refused to taste any of the food, but would not even touch it with his finger-tips,' recalled the emperor's daughter Anna in her memoir of her father. Alexius's apprehensions were fully justified. After the crusading armies had crossed Asia Minor they settled down to besiege Antioch in October 1097. The city was betrayed to them in June 1098. The leaders of the crusade had sworn to Alexius that they would restore any formerly Roman territories which they might re-conquer to his control. But when early in the new year of 1099 they moved on towards Jerusalem under the leadership of Raymond of Toulouse, Bohemond did not accompany them. He stayed put as - in a title he took for himself soon afterwards - 'Prince of Antioch'.
     "Bohemond devoted the rest of his life to an attempt to consolidate his hold on Antioch and its surrounding territories, and to fight off his Byzantine Christian and Syrian Muslim enemies. He expelled the Greek clergy from Antioch and replaced them with Latins. He granted commercial privileges to the Genoese in return for naval assistance. He sought recruits and settlers from his Apulian estates. But he was not lucky. In the summer of 1100 he was captured by one of the Anatolian Turkish amirs and spent three years in captivity. During this period his nephew Tancred governed the principality of Antioch as his regent. Released on payment of a colossal ransom in 1103, Bohemond returned to Antioch. Military reverses in 1104 convinced him that it was vital to raise larger forces than were available to him in the East, so he returned to Western Europe -again deputing the regency to Tancred - and spent the years 1105 and 1106 in Italy and France raising men and money. In 1107 he opened hostilities with the Byzantine empire by laying siege to Durazzo. The Emperor Alexius was by this date in a far stronger position than he had been a quarter century earlier when Bohemond and his father had first campaigned in the Balkans. Outmanoeuvred by the Byzantine troops, Bohemond was compelled to make a humiliating peace in 1108. After this he retired to Apulia where he died in 1111, and was buried in the exquisite little mausoleum which still stands at Canossa di Puglia.
     "Bohemond may have died desolate, but his descendants ruled the principality of Antioch which he had founded until 1268. His career furnishes a notable example of the possibilities that unfolded before the aristocratic adventurers of the eleventh century."²⁰ EDV-27 GKJ-27.

The Annals of Romoald name "Boamundum" as the son of Robert "Guiscard" and his first wife[6]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Beymont" as son of "Robert Guichart qui conquest Puille", stating that he was "prince de Tarente" before he was granted Antioch[7]. William of Tyre records "Boamundus" as son of Robert Guiscard in 1097[8]. He inherited the large size and height of his father[9]. His father gave him command of the campaign against Byzantine Illyria in 1081. He captured Valona, was defeated in a naval battle by the Venetians allied with Byzantium, but then laid siege to Durazzo. During his father's temporary absence attacking Rome, Bohémond lost most of the conquered territory. After his father died in 1085, Bohémond fought his half-brother Roger, whom his father had designated as sole heir in Apulia. Moving southwards from his castle at Tarento, he captured Oria and Otranto, and was able to force peace in return for the grant, not only of Oria and Otranto, but also of Gallipoli, Tarento and Brindisi together with the region between Conversano and Brindisi, with the title Prince of Tarento. In 1090, Bohémond annexed Bari, but was faced with rebellion by the Count of Conversano and the Lord of Montescaglioso. As one of the leaders of the First Crusade, he acceptance to swear allegiance to Emperor Alexios I Komnenos in Apr 1097, agreeing that the emperor should become overlord of any new principalities founded by the crusaders and that any land captured which had previously belonged to the empire should be handed back to Byzantium[10]. Albert of Aix records that "Boemundus" swore allegiance to the emperor and agreed not to conquer any territory within the empire without the emperor’s consent[11]. Bohémond played a decisive role in the capture of Antioch 28 Jun 1098, after a siege lasting eight months[12]. Bar Hebræus records that "les Francs" invaded Syria in A. H. 491 (1097/98), captured Antioch from "Yaghi-Sian" in "le mois de djomada premier" (Apr/May 1098) after a nine month siege, and slaughtered the Muslims[13].

Vardan's History records that "Danishman lord of Sebastia, whom they say was of Armenian nationality, came against Melitene" in 1100 and captured "Pemond and Rajard who were at Edessa [and] who came against him"[18]. During his captivity he is said to have had an affair with either the Emir's daughter or one of his wives: Orderic Vitalis recounts how "Melaz, daughter of the Danishmend" helped Prince Bohémond I during his captivity, returned with him to Antioch, was baptised and married his nephew Roger[19], but the story does not appear to be corroborated elsewhere.

The marriage was arranged by Adèle, comtesse de Blois while Boemund was in France canvassing support against Byzantium.
     “Constance and Boemund had two sons, Boemund who would succeed his father in 1126, marry and have progeny, and Jean who died young.
     “After her marriage Constance remained with her husband in Apulia and never visited Palestine. She was regent for her son Boemund in Italy after the death of her husband in 1111. She claimed the title of Queen as daughter of the king of France. She was imprisoned at Bari by Grimoald Alferanites, who had set himself up as lord of Bari, but was released in 1120 after the intervention of Roger II, the Norman king of Sicily, after agreeing to renounce her lordship over the town. Constance died about 1125.”.⁶

     William of Salisbury, 2nd Earl of Salisbury was an Anglo-Norman peer. Though he is generally known as such, his proper title was Earl of Wiltshire, which title was conferred on his father by the Empress Maud around 1143. He was also called William FitzPatrick. He was the son and heir of Patrick of Salisbury, Earl of Wiltshire, styled Earl of Salisbury, and of Ela Talvas. He married Eleanor de Vitré, daughter of Robert III de Vitré of Tilliers and Emma de Dinan about 1190. He died without male issue. Their only daughter and heiress, was Ela of Salisbury, 3rd Countess of Salisbury who married William Longespée, 3rd Earl of Salisbury, who was half-brother to the king. He bore the golden sceptre with the dove at the first coronation of King Richard I on 3 Sep 1189. At the second coronation of Richard, the Earl of Salisbury was one of the four earls who supported the canopy of state. William FitzPatrick died in 1196 at Normandy, and is buried at Bradenstoke Priory. (Bio by William Fitzpatrick's 22nd great granddaughter Audrey DeCamp Hoffmen)
