Andrew, Ban Of Slavonia
Andrew ( hu, András; died before 1208) was a Hungarian lord at the end of the 12th century, who – as a confidant of the rebellious Duke Andrew – served as Ban of Slavonia. Through his marriage, he was son-in-law of the late King Géza II of Hungary. Career According to genealogist Mór Wertner, Andrew belonged to the ''gens'' (clan) Kadarkalász, which possessed landholdings in Veszprém and Pilis counties. Wertner established the theory based on the name of his son Andronikos, since an eponymous member of the clan (Andronikos, son of Andrew) is mentioned in 1248. However, János Karácsonyi refused the identification due to chronological considerations. Andrew had a son Andronikos, who already appeared as a ''comes'' and testa in 1198, i.e. he was adult by then. For this reason, it is likely that Andronikos was born from his father's first marriage to an unidentified lady. Andrew started his career during the reign of King Béla III of Hungary. He served as ''ispán'' of Sop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ban Of Slavonia
Ban of Slavonia ( hr, Slavonski ban; hu, szlavón bán; la, Sclavoniæ banus) or the Ban of "Whole Slavonia" ( hr, ban cijele Slavonije; hu, egész Szlavónia bánja; la, totius Sclavoniæ banus) was the title of the governor of a territory part of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary and Kingdom of Croatia. In the Kingdom of Croatia, Demetrius Zvonimir was the only notable person that ruled over the region of Slavonia with the title ban from around 1070 until 1075. From 1102, the title Ban of Croatia was appointed by the kings of Hungary, and there was at first a single ban for all of the Kingdom of Croatia, but later the Slavonian domain got a separate ban. It included parts of present-day Central Croatia, western Slavonia and parts of northern Bosnia and Herzegovina. From 1225, the title started being held by a separate dignitary from the title of the Ban of Croatia and Dalmatia, and existed until 1476, when it was joined with the latter title. According to the public law o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brothers' Quarrel (Hungary)
The Brothers' Quarrel ( hu, testvérviszály) was a dynastic feud between Emeric, King of Hungary and his younger brother, Andrew, Duke of Slavonia, lasted from 1197 to 1203, which covered almost the entire reign of the former. The conflict had a significant impact on the development of 13th century society and political system in the Kingdom of Hungary. Background The illustrious Béla III ruled Hungary from 1172 to 1196. His first wife was Agnes of Antioch, the mother of Béla's all children. Their first child and son Emeric was born in 1174, according to genealogist Mór Wertner, which was accepted by the Hungarian historiography unanimously. Historian György Szabados argued it is possible that Agnes gave birth to her eldest son already in late 1170, still in the Byzantine Empire, where Béla (also known as Alexios in the Byzantine court) had already been there for seven years at the time of the marriage in the spring of the same year. Andrew was the second son of Béla III a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Duchy Of Austria
The Duchy of Austria (german: Herzogtum Österreich) was a medieval principality of the Holy Roman Empire, established in 1156 by the ''Privilegium Minus'', when the Margraviate of Austria (''Ostarrîchi'') was detached from Bavaria and elevated to a duchy in its own right.
