     "Mieszko III 'the Old' of the Piast dynasty was duke of Greater Poland 1138-1202, and high duke of all Poland, with interruptions, from 1173 to 1202. He was born about 1126, the son of Boleslaw III Krzywousty, king of Poland, and Salome von Berg-Schelklingen. Mieszko was Boleslaw's third son, and the couple's second.
     "About 1140 Mieszko married Elisabeth of Hungary, daughter of Béla II 'the Blind', king of Hungary, and Jelena of Serbia. They had two sons, Odon and Stephen, three daughters Elisabeth, Ludmilla and Judith. Odon and their daughters would have progeny.
     "About 1154 Mieszko married Jevdokia of Ruthenia, daughter of a king of Ruthenia (ruler of Kievan Rus'), and his wife who would have been kinswoman of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa. Her father was probably one of the ruling sons of Mstislav I, themselves allies of Mieszko III - either Isjaslaw Mstislavich of Volynia or Rostislav Mstislavich of Smolensk. Of their three children only Anastasia is recorded with progeny, marrying Bogislaw I, Herzog von Pommern-Stettin.
     "In accordance with the testament of Mieszko's father Boleslaw III Krzywousty, Poland was divided into hereditary provinces distributed among his sons, with the royal province of Krákow being reserved for the eldest son, who was to be the high duke of all Poland.
     "The province of Greater Poland was granted to Mieszko (and was subsequently divided among Mieszko's descendants and successors).
     "In 1173 Mieszko was promoted to the throne of Kraków and became high duke of Poland (in Latin: _dux maximus, dux totius Poloniae_). However he was soon expelled from Kraków by his younger brother Kazimierz II, and from Greater Poland by his son Odon. The main reason of Odon's rebellion was the favouritism showed by Mieszko III to his children from his second marriage, and Mieszko's attempts to force him to become a priest in order to eliminate him from the succession. Mieszko was forced to escape and went to Bohemia (where he unsuccessfully sought the help of his son-in-law Duke Sobeslav II), Germany and Pomerania (where Mieszko obtained the support of his other son-in-law Bogislaw I, Herzog von Pommern-Stettin). Mieszko never abdicated his rights or ambitions, and returned to Kraków four times, recovering his Greater Poland domains in 1182 and the title of High Duke in 1191. He died on 13 March 1202."⁵

She is shown as King László's possible wife in Europäische Stammtafeln which also names her Judyta[136], but the source on which this is based has not been identified.

     "m secondly ([1171/75]) ADELHEID, daughter of ---. A charter of Markgraf Otto I dated 1 Jan 1177 names "Adelheida conjugis mea et…heredibus meis Ottone et Heinrico et Adelberto"[141]. "Otto Brandenburgensis marchio" founded Kloster Arendsee, with the consent of "meis heredibus Ottone, Heinrico, Adelberto filiis meis et uxore mea Adelheide", by charter dated 1184[142]. An undated memorial of the foundation of Kloster Arendsee recalls "Ottonis Marchionis et Alheydis uxoris eius" as founders of the church[143]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[144], she was Ada of Holland, daughter of Floris III Count of Holland & his wife Ada of Scotland. Ada´s marriage into the Brandenburg family is confirmed by the charter dated 1205 under which "Ada…marchionissa de Brandebrug" donated land "in Pole" to Rijnsburg abbey, with the consent of "Wilhelmi comitis et Florentii fratrum meorum et Ade comitisse matris mee et Ade neptis mee"[145]. The similarity between "Ada" and "Adelheid" appears at first sight to establish the connection. However, the chronology is not ideal. It is most likely that "Adelheid" was the mother of Markgraf Otto I´s youngest son Markgraf Albrecht II, as discussed more fully below. Albrecht II was named in the charter dated 1 Jan 1177 quoted above, so was born in the mid-1170s. Albrecht is named in an 1197 document in his own capacity, indicating that he had already reached the age of majority. If Ada of Holland was his mother, she would have been 12 years old at the most when he was born, assuming that she was her parents´ oldest child (which appears unlikely). The Chronologia Johannes de Beke names (in order) "Theodricum succedentem comitem Hollandie, Wilhelmum comitem Orientalis Frisie, Florencium prepositum Traiecetensis ecclesie, Robertum presidium Kenemarie, Beatricem, Elizabeth, Adelheydim et Margaretam comitissam Clivie" as the children of Count Floris III and his wife[146]. This suggests that "Adelheydim" was the third daughter. While it is acknowledged that the order of births as recorded in such sources is not consistently reliable, the order in which Count Floris´s sons are named in the Chronologia does appear to correspond to the order of their births. If Ada was her parents´ third daughter, it is unlikely that she was born before [1166/68], also bearing in mind that the birth of the couple´s oldest son Dirk should probably be placed in the 1160s in view of his marriage which is recorded in 1186. This date [1166/68] makes it impossible that Ada was the mother of Markgraf Albrecht II. A second possibility for Ada´s Brandenburg husband is Otto II Markgraf von Brandenburg (see below), stated to be the case by Alfred Riedel who compiled the Codex Diplomaticus Brandenburgensis series in the mid-19th century: in his index volume, he lists "Ada Margräfin v. Brandenburg, Gemahlin Otto´s II, Schwester des Grafen Wilhelm von Holland", although he cites no primary source which confirms that this statement is correct[147]. All problems of chronology would be resolved if Otto II was Ada of Holland´s husband, and "Adelheid", second wife of Markgraf Otto I, was a different person. In addition, the timing of Ada´s 1205 donation to Rijnsberg abbey would have followed her husband´s death. It would also be easier to explain Ada´s return to Holland (why would she have gone back if Markgraf Albrecht II had been her son?) and also the absence of any reference to Brandenburg relatives in the 1205 charter."

She brought Beograd, Brani?evo/Barancs and probably Niš as part of her dowry for her first marriage[791]. The special wedding tax levied by Emperor Isaakios II to finance their elaborate nuptial ceremonies may have contributed to attracting support for the rebellion in Bulgaria by the brothers Ivan Asen and Tedor[792]. She adopted the name MARIA in Byzantium. The Cronica Fratris Salimbene de Adam records the marriage of "Bonifacius marchio" and "Margaritam imperatricem condam Ysachii, sororem Aimerici regis Ungari"[793].

; Per Genealogics:
     “Boniface I, the third son of Guillermo V 'il Vecchio', marchese de Monferrato, and Judith von Österreich, was born about 1150, after his father's return from the Second Crusade. He was a younger brother of Guillaume VII 'Longsword' de Monferrato, count of Jaffa and Ascalon, and of Conrad, marchese de Monferrato.
     “Boniface's youthful exploits in the late 1170s are recalled in the famous Epic letter _Valen marques, senher de Monferrat,_ by his good friend and court troubadour Raimbaut de Vaqueiras. These included the rescue of the heiress Jacopina of Ventimiglia from her uncle Count Otto, who was intending to deprive her of her inheritance and send her to Sardinia. Boniface arranged a marriage for her. When Albert of Malaspina (husband of one of Boniface's sisters) abducted Saldina de Mar, a daughter of a prominent Genoese family, Boniface rescued her and restored her to her lover Ponset d'Aguilar. Like the rest of the family, he also supported his cousin Friedrich I Barbarossa in his wars against the independent city communes of the Lombard League. Boniface's eldest brother Guillermo VII had died in 1177, soon after marrying Sybil d'Anjou, the heiress of the kingdom of Jerusalem. In 1179 Manuel I Komnenos, emperor of Byzantium, offered his daughter Maria Komnena as a bride to one of the sons of Guillermo V. Since Boniface, like his older brother Conrad, was already married, and Federico was a priest, the youngest brother Rainer married her instead, only to be murdered along with her during the usurpation of Andronicus I Komnenos.
     “In 1183 Boniface's nephew Baudouin V was crowned co-king of Jerusalem. Guillermo V went out to the Latin kingdom to support his grandson, leaving Conrad and Boniface in charge of Monferrato. However in 1187 Conrad also left for the East: Isaac II Angelos had offered his sister Theodora to Boniface as a wife, to renew the family's Byzantine alliance, but Boniface had just married for the second time, while Conrad was a recent widower.
     “In 1189 Boniface joined the council of regency for Tommaso I de Savoie, son of his cousin Umberto III, comte de Savoie, until the boy came of age about two years later. In 1191, after the new Emperor Heinrich VI granted him the county of Incisa, a fifteen-year war broke out against the neighbouring communes of Asti and Alessandria. Boniface joined the Cremona League, while the two cities joined the League of Milan. Boniface defeated the cities at Montiglio in June that year, but the war as a whole went badly for the dynasty's interests. At Quarto he and Vaqueiras saved his brother-in-law Alberto Malespina when he was unhorsed. The first phase of the war ended with a truce in April 1193. By now, Boniface was marquis of Monferrato, following the deaths of his father in 1191 and of Conrad, the newly elected king of Jerusalem, in 1192. (No claim to Monferrato ever seems to have been made on behalf of Conrad's posthumous daughter Maria.)
     “In June 1194 Boniface was appointed one of the leaders of Heinrich VI's expedition to Sicily. At Messina, amid the fighting between the Genoese and Pisan fleets, Vaqueiras protected his lord with his own shield - an act which helped the troubadour with a knighthood from Boniface that year after the campaign's successful conclusion with Heinrich's coronation as emperor in Palermo. In October 1197 the truce with Asti ended. Boniface made an alliance with Acqui in June 1198. There were numerous skirmishes and raids, including at Ricaldone and Caranzano, but by 1199 it was clear the war was lost, and Boniface entered into negotiations.
     “Throughout the 1180s and 1190s, despite the wars, Boniface had nevertheless presided over one of the most prestigious courts of chivalric culture and troubadour song. In the 12th century the Piemontèis language (which in the present day reflects more French and Italian influences) was virtually indistinguishable from the Occitan of Southern France and Catalonia. Besides Vaqueiras, visitors included Peire Vidal, Gaucelm Faidit, and Arnaut de Mareuil. Boniface's patronage was celebrated widely. To Gaucelm, he was _Mon Thesaur_ (My Treasure). Curiously, Vaqueiras sometimes addressed him as _N'Engles_ (Lord Englishman), but the in-joke is never explained. His sister Adilasia, wife of Manfredo II del Vasto, marquis de Saluzzo, also shared this interest and was mentioned by Vidal.
     “When the original leader of the Fourth Crusade, Thibaut III, comte de Champagne, died in 1201, Boniface was chosen as its new leader. He was an experienced soldier, and it was an opportunity to reassert his dynasty's reputation after defeat at home. Boniface's family was well-known in the east: his nephew Baudouin V de Monferrato and brother Conrad had been kings of Jerusalem, and his niece Maria de Monferrato, Conrad's daughter, was heiress of the kingdom.
     “Boniface's cousin Philipp von Hohenstaufen, King of The Romans, was married to Irene Angelina, a daughter of the deposed Byzantine emperor Isaac II Angelos and niece of Conrad's second wife Theodora Angelos. In the winter of 1201 Boniface spent Christmas with Philipp in Hagenau, and while there he also met with Alexios IV Angelos, Isaac II's son, who had escaped from the custody of his uncle Alexios III Komnenos Angelos. At this time the three discussed the possibility of using the crusading army to restore Alexios IV's right to the throne. Both Boniface and Alexios travelled separately to Rome to ask Pope Innocent III's blessing for the endeavour; however Boniface was specifically told by Innocent not to attack any Christians, including the Byzantines.
     “The crusader army was in debt to the doge of Venice, who had provided their fleet. He instructed to attack the rebellious cities of Trieste, Moglie and Zara and beat them into submission before sailing for Cairo. The pope was angered by these Christian cities being attacked by a crusader army. The doge, Enrico Dandolo, was now the true war leader of this crusade, with Boniface as only a figurehead. Alexios IV Angelos made many promises to the crusaders and their principal financier, the doge of Venice, for riches and honours if they would help him reclaim his kingdom. Dandolo placated the pope by having Alexios IV Angelos promise to submit the Orthodox Church to Rome when he was restored to his throne in Byzantium. This being done, the fleet set sail for Constantinople in 1203.
     “After the conquest of Constantinople in 1204, Boniface was assumed to be the new emperor, both by the western knights and the conquered Byzantine citizens. However the Venetians vetoed him, believing that he already had too many connections in the empire (and likely felt that they would not have a much influence in the new empire if Boniface was in control). Instead, they chose Baudouin VI-IX, Graaf van Vlaanderen. Boniface founded the kingdom of Thessalonica and also held all the territories east of the Bosporus and territories in Crete, though he later conceded Crete to Baudouin. Late 13th and 14th century sources suggest that Boniface based his claim on Thessalonica on the statement that his young brother Rainer had been granted Thessalonica on his marriage to Maria Komnena in 1180.
     “After 1170 Boniface married Elena di Busca, daughter of Anselmo, marques del Bosco. Of their three children, Guillermo VIII-VI would have progeny.
     “According to the chronicler Nicetas Choniates (1155-1215), Boniface remarried in late 1186- early 1187. This bride was possibly Jeanne de Châtillon-sur-Loing, daughter of Renaud de Châtillon, prince of Antioch, and his first wife Constance, princess of Antioch. _The Lignages d'Outremer_ name 'Maria e Joanna' as the two daughters of 'Rinaldo de Castellion' and his wife 'Costanza...la Nova Princessa', stating that Marie (presumably being an error for Agnes) married 'el re d'Ungaria' and Jeanne married 'el re de Salonichio'. This is the only reference so far found to this daughter but, if it is correct, 'el re de Salonichio' can only refer to Boniface. Jeanne would have been the maternal aunt of Boniface's last wife; apparently, the marriage was childless or, if they had children none survived to adulthood.
     “In 1204 in Constantinople Boniface married Margrete of Hungary, widow of Isaac II Angelos, emperor of Byzantium, and daughter of Béla III, king of Hungary. Their son Demetrius, emperor at Thessalonica, did not have progeny.
     “Boniface was killed in an ambush by the Bulgarians on 4 September 1207, and his head was sent to Bulgarian Tsar Kaloyan. The loyal Raimbaut de Vaqueiras, who had followed him to the East, probably died with him; it is significant that he composed no _planh_ (lament) to his memory.”.⁵

     "BONIFAZIO di Monferrato, son of GUGLIELMO V "il Vecchio" Marchese di Monferrato & his wife Judith of Austria [Babenberg] (1150-killed in battle 4 Sep 1207). The Cronica Alberti de Bezanis names "Gullielmus Spatam-longam, Conradum, Bonifacium, Fredericum et Raynerium" as the five sons of "Gulielmus marchio Montisferati" & his wife[149]. Regent of Monferrato 1191. He succeeded his brother in 1192 as BONIFAZIO I Marchese di Monferrato. He assisted Emperor Heinrich VI King of Germany in his conquest of Sicily in 1194[150]. A charter dated 13 Jun 1199 records an agreement between the communes of Alessandria, Asti and Vercelli and "dominum Bonifacium marchionem Montisferrati et Gulielmum filius eius"[151]. He joined the movement for a Fourth Crusade, and was elected leader on the death of Thibaut III Comte de Champagne[152], a decision which was ratified at Soissons in Aug 1201[153]. "Bonifatius marchio Montisferrati" granted the right to wood in "bosco Lucedii" to the church of Casale by charter dated 21 Jul 1202[154]. Under the terms of the partition of the Byzantine Empire agreed in March 1204 between Venice and the crusading armies, approximately 3/8 of the territory of the former empire was to be distributed between the crusaders. Bonifazio, as leader of the crusade, expected to be installed as emperor of the newly formed Latin Empire of Constantinople. He married the widow of ex-Emperor Isaakios II in order to advance his claims, but he was outmanoeuvred by Enrico Dandolo Doge of Venice who secured the appointment of Baudouin IX Count of Flanders whom he considered a less powerful candidate[155]. Bonifazio was assigned a large fief in Anatolia, but demanded Thessaloniki which he claimed belonged as of right to his family since Emperor Manuel I had granted his brother Ranieri a large estate there. At a meeting with Venetian representatives at Adrianople 12 Aug 1204, he ceded the island of Crete (which he claimed had been given as a fief to his brother Ranieri by Emperor Manuel I) to Venice and bought Venice's rights to Thessaloniki[156]. Bonifazio captured Demotika and besieged Adrianople to press his claim. Peace was soon mediated, and Emperor Baudouin exchanged Demotika for Thessaloniki, where Bonifazio declared himself King of Thessaloniki. He extended his kingdom northwards to include Macedonia and southwards into Thessaly[157]. His fiefs were Othon de la Roche (for Attika and Boetia, later to form the duchy of Athens), Guillaume de Champlitte and, after his death, Geoffroy de Villehardouin (for the principality of Achaia or Morea in Peloponese). He was faced with continual threats from the north from the Bulgarians and, against this common threat, allied himself with Henri Latin Emperor of Constantinople, confirmed by the marriage of his daughter to the emperor[158]. He was killed by a small Bulgarian raiding party, his head being sent as a trophy to Kalojan Tsar of Bulgaria[159]. The Cronica of Sicardi Bishop of Cremona records the death in 1207 of "Bonifacius marchio Montis-ferrati" killed in battle[160].
     "m firstly (before 1171) ELENA di Bosco, daughter of ---. The Chronica Jacobi de Aquis, dated to 1334, names "la figliola del Marchese del Bosco" as the first wife of "Bonifacio"[161]. The primary source which confirms her name and the name of her father has not yet been identified. 1179.
     "m secondly ([late 1186/early 1187]) ---. According to Niketas Choniates, Bonifazio had remarried in late 1186-early 1187[162]. The identity of his second wife is not known. The following source suggests that she was Jeanne de Châtillon, daughter of Renaud de Châtillon-sur-Loing & his first wife Constance Pss of Antioch. The reasons noted below suggest that this is unlikely to be correct. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Maria e[ Joanna" as the two daughters of "Rinaldo de Castellion" and his wife "Costanza…la Nova Princessa", stating that Jeanne married "el re de Salonichio" and died without heirs[163]. This is the only reference so far found to this daughter but, if it is correct, "el re de Salonichio" can only refer to Bonifazio di Monferrato. If the date of this marriage is correctly reported by Niketas, Jeanne would have been considerably younger than her sister Agnes. In addition, Jeanne would have been the maternal aunt of Bonifazio's third wife which suggests problems of affinity and the consequent difficulty of obtaining Papal dispensation for that later marriage.]
     "m thirdly (May 1204) as her second husband, MARGIT of Hungary, widow of Emperor ISAAKIOS II, daughter of BÉLA III King of Hungary & his first wife Agnès [Anna] de Châtillon-sur-Loing (1175-after 3 Mar 1229). 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" & his wife Agnes[164]. She brought Beograd, Brani?evo and probably Niš as part of her dowry for her first marriage[165]. The special wedding tax levied by Emperor Isaakios II to finance their elaborate nuptial ceremonies may have contributed to attracting support for the rebellion in Bulgaria by the brothers Ivan Asen and Tedor[166]. She adopted the name MARIA in Byzantium. The Cronica Fratris Salimbene de Adam records the marriage of "Bonifacius marchio" and "Margaritam imperatricem condam Ysachii, sororem Aimerici regis Ungari"[167]. Georgius Akropolites records that "rex Thessalonicæ" married "Mariam Ungaram", widow of "imperatori Isaacio"[168]. Villehardouin records the marriage of "the Marquis Boniface de Montferrat" and "the lady who had been the Emperor Isaac's wife…the king of Hungary's sister"[169]. Her husband installed her as Regent of Thessaloniki while he was on campaign to conquer Thessaly[170]. She was also regent for her infant son after the death of her husband, but in the face of opposition from local nobles was replaced by Uberto di Biandrate. She was restored as regent by Henri Latin Emperor of Constantinople to whom Uberto refused to swear allegiance, after the latter was captured in Euboea by the Emperor in 1209[171]. She married thirdly Nicolas de Saint-Omer Lord of Thebes (-[1217/19]). Pope Gregory IX confirmed that "[Margaretha] soror…regis Ungarie" acquired "terram…ulterior Sirmia" by bull dated 3 Mar 1229[172]. "
