Beatrix (?) de Looz died after 1132.¹
      ;      Per Med Lands Lotharingia (Lower) Nobility page: "[BEATRIX [de Looz] (-after 1132). The Vita Andreæ, first abbot of Averboden, in the Chronicle written by Nicolas Hogeland Abbot of Middelburg, records that "dominam Beatricem de Los, comitissam de Aerschot" sent donations to "comitis Arnoldi Lossensis" after hearing that he intended to found Averboden abbey[863]. This is the only reference yet found to the the wife of Arnout Graaf van Aarschot. If it is correct, it must refer to Graaf Arnout [III] who witnessed the charter dated to [1136] by which Alexander Bishop of Liège confirmed the foundation of Averboden abbey by "comes Ernulfus de Los"[864]. Although the source does not specify the relationship between Beatrix and Arnaud Comte de Looz, the chronology suggests that they could have been brother and sister. In line with the speculation of Daris concerning the existence of two comtes de Looz named Arnaud, from a chronological point of view it appears likely that Beatrix was the sister of Comte Arnaud [II].

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].

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].

     "Felicia was born about 1078, the daughter of Roger I, count of Sicily, and his second wife Eremburge de Mortain. In 1096 Kálmán, king of Hungary, son of Geisa I, king of Hungary, and Sophie of Looz, sent his envoys to her father's court to propose marriage to Felicia. However her father did not consider the envoys sufficiently illustrious and refused the offer. The second mission of the king of Hungary was led by Bishop Hartvik of Gyor, but Roger insisted on further negotiations. Finally envoys led by Almos of Hungary, duke of Croatia, the king's younger half-brother, accompanied Felicia to Hungary, where she was married to King Kálmán around 1097. They had four children of whom two daughters would have progeny.
     "Felicia died about 1102. Two years later Kálmán married Jevfemia 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. Jevfemia bore a son in Kiev, named Boris Conrad in 1112 whom Kálmán did not acknowledge."⁶

     "Felicia of Sicily (c. 1078 – c. 1102) is a name that is used for one Queen consort of Hungary.
     "She was the eldest daughter of Count Roger I of Sicily and his second wife, Eremburga of Mortain. She is also called Busilla, but this name is a misunderstanding of the ancient Italian word "pucelle" meaning "virgin".
     "Coloman, King of Hungary sent his envoys to her father's court to propose marriage to her in 1096, but the Count of Sicily did not qualify the envoys illustrious enough and refused the offer. The second mission of the King of Hungary was led by Bishop Hartvik, but insisted on further negotiations. Finally, the envoys, led by Duke Álmos, the king's younger brother, accompanied Felicia to Hungary, where she was married to King Coloman around 1097.
