She married secondly Gebhard Graf von Diessen. Her second marriage is indicated by the following document: "Rihkart uxor Gebehardi comitis et filius eius Engilpreht" donated a mill “apud Chlotheim” to Ebersberg by undated charter[276]. Richgard’s supposed third marriage requires some explanation. Richgard's origin is confirmed by the following document: "Rihkart cometissa" donated "curtis ad Gurk" to Kloster St Paul by charter dated to [1106], witnessed by “Bernhart et Heinrih fratres eius...”[277]. [Richgard may have married thirdly Berthold [I] [von Schwarzenberg]. Wegener speculates that she married Berthold [I] von Schwarzenberg as her first husband[278]. The chronology of Richgard herself and of her first and second husbands suggests that she could only have married Berthold as her third husband. This suggestion fits neatly into a proposed new reconstruction of the Schwarzenberg/Regensburg family, shown in the document BAVARIA NOBILITY, aimed at reconciling apparently contradictory sources relating to the family origin of Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln. One difficulty is that Richgard would have had sons named Engelbert by both her second and third husbands, which seems unlikely.]

"Magnus qui et Geysa supremus Hungarorium Dux postea…rex consecratus, Belæ regis filius" founded the monastery of St Benedict, Gron, in the presence of "Ladislao Duce germano meo…Iula Comite Palatino", by charter dated 1075[526]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that Géza succeeded King Salomon but died after a reign of three years and was buried at "Waciæ [Vác]"[527]. The Chronicon Varadiense records the death "VIII Kal Mai" in 1077 of "Geysa primogenitus Belæ regis" and his burial "in ecclesia Vaciensi quam ipse construxit"[528].
     "m firstly ([1062]) [SOPHIE de Looz], daughter of [EMMO Comte de Looz] & his wife [Suanehildis of Holland] ([1044/46]-[1065]). She is named as the first wife of King Géza in Europäische Stammtafeln[529]. The primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. Kerbl, in his analysis concerning Géza I's [second] Byzantine marriage, does not mention this supposed first marriage[530]. If it is correct, the marriage presumably took place while Géza was a hostage at the imperial court, which Kerbl dates to [1062/63][531]. This is consistent with Sophie having been born in [1044/46]. The Vita Arnulfi names "Arnulfum comitem de Lo et Sophiam ducissam de Hungaria…et ducissam de Hui" as the children of Emmo Comte de Looz, adding that Sophie was the mother of "regem de Hungaria"[532]. This manuscript, written at Oudenbourg abbey, is dated to 1220[533]. This is late to be reliable. In addition, the document represents the ancestors of Comte Emmo in a way which is inconsistent with earlier primary sources. As the county of Looz was among the temporal possessions of the Bishop of Liège and, as such, part of the duchy of Lower Lotharingia under the suzerainty of the German emperor, it would not be improbable for a daughter of the comte de Looz to have been staying at the imperial court and for her marriage to have been arranged with another noble visitor. The Vita Andreæ, first abbot of Averboden, in the Chronicle written by Nicolas Hogeland Abbot of Middelburg, records that "Sophia de Los, Hungariæ regina, comitis Arnoldi Lossensis soror" sent letters to her brother after hearing that he intended to found Averboden abbey[534]. This report is clearly anachronistic as the abbey in question was founded in 1135, when Sophie de Looz could not possibly have been queen of Hungary. The question remains whether Sophie´s supposed marriage to King Géza I is based on speculation, suggested by an as yet unidentified secondary source which was trying to make sense of the passages in the Vita Arnulfi and the Vita Andreæ by identifying the most likely Hungarian king who could have been her husband. Until further sources come to light, it has been decided to show Sophie de Looz in square brackets. Whatever the truth of the matter, the chronology of the births of King Géza´s older children suggests that their mother could not have been the Byzantine wife whom he married in [1066/75].
     "m secondly ([1066/75]) --- Synadene, daughter of THEODULOS Synadenos & his wife --- Botaneiatissa. Skylitzes records that Emperor Nikephoros Botaneiates married "sororis suæ filiam Synadenen, Theodulo Synadeno genitam" ("??? ?????? ????? ? ????????") the daughter of Theodoulos Synadenos ("??? ?????????, ???????? ????? ????????? ??? ?????????") to "crali Ungariæ" ("?? ????? ???????? ??? ???????") and that she returned to Byzantium after her husband died[535]. The passage does not name the Hungarian king in question. Kerbl says that Horvát suggested that her husband was Lambert, son of Béla I King of Hungary[536], although it is unclear how Lambert could have been described as "krali" of Hungary as no other record has been identified indicating that he ever reigned as king. Kerbl also cites Wertner as the first source which proposed that her husband was Géza of Hungary[537]. The narrative of Skylitzes Continuatus ends during the reign of Emperor Nikephoros (who reigned from 1078 until his forced abdication in 1081). This suggests that the husband of --- Synadene must have died before that date, which supports his identification as King Géza. However, it is not impossible that the text was written some years later, and that her return to Constantinople was mentioned because it was of recent date at the time of writing. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that her husband was King László I (who appears to be the only other realistic candidate) as his marriage to Adelheid von Rheinfelden appears to be certain as discussed above. The remaining potential difficulty is with the date of the marriage. Wertner suggested that the marriage took place in [Oct 1073/Oct 1074][538]. Nikephoros Botaneiates (later Emperor Nikephoros III) was Byzantine military commander along the Danube, adjacent to Hungarian territory, from 1064 to before 1067 when he was reassigned as governor of Antioch[539]. Kerbl therefore assesses this as the more likely period during which the marriage took place[540]. However, if it is correct, as stated by Skylitzes, that --- Synadene returned to Byzantium after her husband's death, it is probable that she had no surviving children. If she had had children, it is reasonable to expect that she would have remained with them to protect their interests, especially as the chronology suggests that King Géza's son Kálmán could not in any case have been her son and would therefore have had a superior claim to the throne than any half-brothers. If this is correct, all of King Géza's children must have been born from his first marriage, which would date his second marriage to --- Synadene to the early 1070s at the earliest. "

; Per Genealogics:
     "Kálmán was the son of Geisa I of Hungary and Sophie of Looz. Geisa's brother László I, who succeeded him as king of Hungary, wanted Kálmán's brother Almos to succeed him as king. (According to the chronicles, Kálmán may have had a physical deformity, which would have made him unfit to be king in terms of medieval beliefs about such things, but this deformity may be a later falsification about his appearance, as in the case of England's Richard III, as the chronicles reflected the image of Kálmán created by his successors, who were descendants of his blinded younger brother Almos). Not wanting to abandon his eldest nephew completely, László I wished instead to make him a bishop. Kálmán was accordingly sent abroad to acquire the learning for which he was later remembered, which earned him the appellation 'Könyves', literally 'bookish' (usually translated 'the Booklover'). (At the time, this was not a compliment. History has been kind to Kálmán, however, and modern histories are more apt to translate the epithet as 'The Wise' or similar.)
     "The exact circumstances of how Kálmán acquired the throne after László's death are unknown; among other difficulties, he may have had to get a papal dispensation, because ordained clergy could not become king. (The sources are unclear on whether Kálmán was actually ordained. His later laws show that he had no problems with married clergy, so his eventual marriages are no evidence in this matter.) László died before he could fulfil his promise of leading a Crusade. Kálmán did not find it necessary to fulfil the promise of his predecessor, but did initially consent to let the crusading armies pass through Hungary. When the first such army (the First Crusade in 1096) proceeded to pillage its way through the country, he put growing and greater restrictions on subsequent armies, such as taking hostages and mustering his own army to guard their progress. These actions did not endear him to contemporary chroniclers; descriptions of an ugly, hairy, cross-eyed man are certainly exaggerated.
     "Kálmán changed Hungary's foreign policy: while László I had asked for the Holy Roman Emperor's help (instead of the pope's) when waging war on Croatia, Kálmán wanted to stay on good terms with the Holy See. This did not prevent him from subjugating Croatia, nor from conquering Dalmatia ahead of the similarly-inclined Venetians. The pope eventually gave him the right to appoint bishops.
     "Kálmán's court was a centre of learning and literature. Bishop Hartvik's _Life of St.Stephan,_ a chronicle of Hungary, the shorter of the _Legends of St.Gellért,_ and several collections of laws all stem from his reign. One of the most famous laws was half a millennium ahead of its time: _De strigis vero quae non sunt, nulla amplius quaestio fiat_ ('As for the matter of witches, there is no such thing, therefore no further investigations or trials are to be held').
     "In 1097 Kálmán married Felicia de Hauteville (called Busila in Hungary), daughter of Roger I, count of Sicily and his second wife Eremburge de Mortain. They had four children of whom two daughters would have progeny. His son Stephan would succeed him as Stephan II.
     "Almos made several attempts to take over Kálmán's throne, but all were unsuccessful. After repeatedly forgiving his wayward brother, Kálmán was finally forced to bring justice against him in 1115, although even then he commuted the death sentence required by law to the sentence of blinding Almos and his young son Béla.
     "Felicia died in 1102, and a second marriage was arranged in 1104 between Kálmán and Jevfemija Vladimirovna of Kiev, daughter of Vladimir II Monomakh, grand duke of Kiev. However a few years later she was caught in adultery and immediately divorced and sent back to her father. Jevfemija bore a son in Kiev, named Boris Conrad, in 1112.
     "Kálmán died on 3 February 1116. He was buried in Székesfehérvár, next to St. Stephan. He was succeeded by his son Stephan II.
     "After Stephan II died in 1131, Boris became a contender for the throne, but because Kálmán had refused to acknowledge Boris as his son, the Hungarian magnates ignored Boris and gave the Hungarian throne to a cousin Béla, the blinded son of Kálmán's brother Almos. Boris twice invaded Hungary with the aid of Polish and Russian troops, in 1132 and 1146, but was defeated both times."⁴

     "KÁLMÁN ([1065]-3 Mar 1116, bur Székesfehérvár). The Gesta Hungarorum names "filius Geichæ regis, Kalomannus" when recording that he succeeded King László I[543]. Kerbl states that Kálmán was the son of Géza I's Byzantine wife, although as noted above he does not mention Géza's supposed first marriage[544]. On the death of his father in 1077, he was passed over in the succession by his uncle King László who intended Kálmán for the church, possibly appointing him as Bishop of Eger in northern Hungary[545]. Subsequently László I designated Kálmán's younger brother Álmos as his successor, but Kálmán seized the throne in 1095 when the king died[546], possibly with help from Poland[547], succeeding as KÁLMÁN "Könyves/the Bookman" King of Hungary. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Colomannus et frater eius Almus" succeeded after the death of "Ladislaus rex" in 1097, "Colomannus rex" being crowned and "frater eius Almus" receiving "diadema" in 1098[548]. According to Lázár, he was "dishevelled, hirsute, half-blind, hunchbacked and lame"[549]. Albert of Aix records "domno Kalomanno rege…Ungarorum" welcoming the first crusaders led by Pierre l´Hermite during their passage through Hungary in 1096[550]. During the course of this journey, the travellers occupied the castle of Zimony [Zemun][551]. King Kálmán recaptured Pannonian Croatia in 1096, killed Peter King of Croatia on the Gvozd mountain, and occupied Beograd in 1097[552]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that the forces of King Kálmán killed "in regnum Dalmatiæ…regem Petrum in montibus…Gozd"[553]. The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split records that Kálmán King of Hungary annexed the remaining parts of Croatia in 1102/03[554]. A charter dated 1102 records that "Colomannus…Rex Ungariæ, Croatiæ atque Dalmatiæ…postquam coronatus fui Belgradi super mare" donated property to "Monasterio S. Mariæ Monialium…in Iadera", signed by "Isaac comes, Amec comes, Thomas comes, Andreas comes, Cosmas comes, Bocan comes, Dyonisius comes"[555]. By 1107, he had also taken possession of all the Byzantine-controlled towns in Dalmatia, accepted by Byzantium in a complex series of agreements which included the marriage in [1104/05] of his (supposed) cousin Piroska to Ioannes Komnenos, heir to the Byzantine throne[556]. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Colomannus rex" accepted "civitatem Zader" in 1108[557]. He was elected King of Croatia and Dalmatia, which was to remain a separate kingdom from Hungary[558], but he and his successors appointed Bans (usually from among the members of the Croatian nobility) who took charge of Croatian internal affairs. The Gesta Hungarorum records that King Kálmán sent a Hungarian army to Apulia where it captured the cities of Monopoli and Brindisi for the Venetians and raided the plain of Apulia[559]. In order to secure the succession for his son, he blinded his brother Álmos and the latter's son Béla[560]. He enacted a law forbidding the trial of witches[561]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that "Qunwes [Könyves]…Kalman" reigned for eighteen years and was buried at Székesfehérvár[562]. The Chronicon Varadiense records the death "III Non Feb" in 1113 of "Colomannus rex" and his burial "Albæ"[563]. The Annales Gradicenses record the death in 1116 of "Colomannus rex"[564]. The Chronicon Posoniense records the death in 1117 of "Colomannus rex"[565].
     "m firstly (1097) [FELICIA] of Sicily, daughter of ROGER I Count of Sicily & his second wife Eremburge de Mortain [Normandy] ([1078]-[1102]). Malaterra records the marriage in 1097 of "Colomannus…rex Ungarorum" and "comitis Rogerii…filiam suam" but does not name her[566]. Given that she gave birth to four known children before her death, it is unlikely that she was born much later than [1078], in which case she would have been the oldest child by Count Roger's second marriage. Her marriage was arranged, with the help of Pope Urban II, to seal King Kálmán's alliance with the Normans of Sicily against Byzantium. King Kálmán's wife is named Felicia in Europäische Stammtafeln[567], but the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. She is sometimes referred to as "Buzilla", but according to Kerbl this is simply a corruption of the French "pucelle"[568]. According to Houben, her name is unknown[569].

Baumgarten names the second wife of King Kálmán and gives her origin but only cites one secondary source in support[570].

     “Pedro also became King Pedro I of Sicily from 1282 after the Sicilian Vespers, the rebellion against the Angevin King Charles I Etienne, resulted in the expulsion of the French from the island. Pedro's navy under the admiral Ruggiero de Lauria defeated the French fleet off Catalonia in 1285, and his armies crushed the retreating French crusaders at the Coll de Panissars in the same year.
     “Pedro himself was the great-great-great grandson and the heir-general of Mafalda de Hauteville, daughter of Robert Guiscard, duke of Apulia, the Norman conqueror, and his official wife Sigelgaita de Salerno, a Langobard princess. After the dukes of Apulia became extinct with Guillaume II in 1127, Mafalda's heirs (then counts of Barcelona) became de jure heirs of Guiscard and Sigelgaita, so that Pedro was a dormant claimant to the Norman succession in Southern Italy. The Two Sicilies were to be a keenly pursued inheritance for the Aragónese Royal House and its heirs for the next five centuries.
     “Pedro died 11 November 1285, leaving Aragón to his eldest son Alfonso, and Sicily to his second son Jaime. Pedro's third son Fadrique later became regent of Sicily and then its king.
     “In the Divine Comedy, Dante sees Pedro 'singing in concert' with his former rival Charles I Etienne of Sicily outside the gates of Purgatory.”.⁵

; Per Genealogics:
     “Constance of Sicily was born in 1249, the daughter of Manfredo, king of Sicily, and his first wife Beatrice de Savoie. To the annoyance of the pope, in 1262 Constance's father arranged her engagement and marriage to Infante Pedro of Aragón, son and heir of King Jaime 'The Conqueror'. This also upset King Louis IX of France who almost broke off his son's engagement to Pedro's sister. It was only after Jaime promised never to assist Constance's father Manfredo that the marriage proceeded. Due to papal interference, Manfredo lost his crown and his life in 1266. As long as Constance's father-in-law had been alive, nothing was done about Sicily. Now, even though Constance was Sicily's heiress, it remained in the hands of Charles I Etienne of Anjou, a brother of King Louis IX of France. Her husband Pedro, who loved her dearly, gave her in her own right the title of queen some years before he became king. When her father-in-law died in 1276 he had left the Balearic Islands and Roussillon to a younger son Jaime, who called himself King of Majorca and for three years refused to acknowledge Constance's husband as his suzerain. In 1279 the Moors of Andalusia tried to reconquer Murcia, and it took until the end of that year before the southern border was secure.
     “Further intrigues within the Iberian Peninsula prevented King Pedro III of Aragón from pursuing his wife's rights in Sicily. In 1275 the elder son of King Alfonso X of Castile had died, leaving two young sons. Alfonso X decided to make his second son Sancho his heir to prevent a long minority for his grandson, the rightful heir. However, his widowed daughter-in-law Blanche, a daughter of Louis IX of France, fled with her two sons to Pedro III of Aragón as she feared for her sons' lives.
     “Pedro III of Aragón welcomed Blanche and her sons but kept them as hostages. Alfonso X of Castile soon regretted his decision to make Sancho his heir, as in 1281 the impatient Sancho rebelled against his father.
     “In 1279 the plotting began in earnest with Emperor Michael of Constantinople and the Republic of Genoa, as these greatly feared that Charles of Anjou, the de-facto king of Sicily, might become too powerful. On 30 August 1282 the Aragónese, with King Pedro III at their head, disembarked at Trapani for Sicily, so that the local rebellion became a European war. On 2 October Pedro III made a triumphant entry into Messina.
     “Nevertheless he acted most cautiously, as one night a ragged old man, Vitalis dei Guidici, who was once a devoted friend of King Manfredo, warned him of the inconstancy of the volatile Sicilian nobles. Pedro III maintained that he had come to make friends with the Sicilians and not to offend them with recriminations about the past. The very next day he was reminded of the warning when Lady Machalda, one of those named by Vitalis dei Guidici, came to him and made it clear that she wanted to become his mistress. He escaped only by a lengthy discourse about his loyalty to his wife Constance, the rightful queen of Sicily. Lady Machalda, not a graceful loser, then induced her own husband to intrigue against Pedro III and Constance. In the early spring of 1283 Pedro sent for Constance and she left Aragón for Sicily with her children---Jaime, Fadrique and Yolanda---arriving on 16 April 1283. On 19 April it was announced that the Infante Jaime would be heir to Sicily as the elder son Alfonso would remain heir of Aragón. In the event of Jaime's minority, Constance would act as regent.
     “Pedro III had to depart Sicily, leaving Constance in charge. Constance and her Italian-born ministers were careful to observe the rights of the Sicilians. However, soon short of money, she found it difficult to restrain the rapacious Aragónese soldiers. When Sicily was again attacked, only the brilliance of Admiral Ruggiero de Lauria saved it from an invasion. Soon the whole kingdom of Charles of Anjou was in turmoil, and as he had lost Sicily to Pedro III and Constance, riots broke out in Naples. Here, Frenchmen found in the streets were massacred.
     “In November 1285 Constance's husband died at Villafranca de Penadres, where he was buried. His graciousness had made a good impression in Sicily but he had also been too cautious. Pope Honorius IV now decided it was time to restore peace in Italy, but he also wanted Sicily returned to the House of Anjou as a previous pope had made Charles of Anjou its king.
     “The Sicilians were distrustful of the generous promises of the pope and preferred their new king, Constance's son Jaime, who would become known as 'the Just'. Jaime was about nineteen, whereas the new king of France, Philippe IV 'the Fair', was only seventeen.
     “In February 1286 Jaime was crowned at Palermo. Discovering two Dominican friars sent by the pope to start a revolt in Sicily, Jaime courteously sent them back unharmed, as well offering the pope homage and asking for the confirmation of his title. The pope's response, however, was excommunication for both Constance and Jaime-and, for good measure, all the people of Sicily as well. Constance and Jaime had reached a honourable and just agreement with the imprisoned heir of Charles of Anjou. However the pope, disallowing this, ordered an offensive against Sicily in 1287, a disastrous affair for Honorius IV.
     “When in 1291 Constance's eldest son Alfonso III 'the Liberal', king of Aragón, died childless, it was Jaime, king of Sicily, who became the next king of Aragón. He remained king of both countries until 1296 when Fadrique, Constance's third son, became king of Sicily and Jaime remained king of Aragón. Constance, having returned to Spain, died in Barcelona in 1301.”.⁵

Her marriage was arranged to recognise an alliance between Beatrice's father and the emperor. The couple were married by proxy in March 1247 and the marriage contract was signed on 21 April 1247. They had two children of whom Constance would have progeny.

     "Beatrice was the elder of two daughters; her younger sister Margaret was married to Boniface II, Marquess of Montferrat. After the death of their mother, their father married Cecile of Baux and had further children including Boniface, Count of Savoy and a younger Beatrice.
     "Beatrice was first betrothed not long after her birth on 4 March 1223 to Manfred III, Marquess of Saluzzo. However, the contract was broken off but was then renewed on 2 October 1227; a contract signed on that date refers to the dowry of Beatrice.[2] The couple were married in March 1233. They were married for eleven years until Manfred's death in 1244, leaving Beatrice with two children and pregnant with twins. They had the following children:
1. Alice (c. 1236 – before 12 Jul 1311), married Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract and had issue
2. Thomas (1239–1296), succeeded Manfred as Marquess
3. Agnes (1245 – after 4 August 1265), born posthumously, married John, son of Eustace de Vesci, no issue

Manfred and Beatrice had one daughter, Constance (1249-1302) who went on to marry Peter III of Aragon and became mother of Alfonso III of Aragon, James II of Aragon and Elizabeth of Aragon.

     "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 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].

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 marriage was arranged by her uncle, Henri Latin Emperor of Constantinople, to obtain Hungarian support for his new ally Boril Tsar of Bulgaria[836].
