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] |

Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire, also referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantium, was the continuation of the Roman Empire primarily in its eastern provinces during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, when its capital city was Constantinople. It survived the fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD and continued to exist for an additional thousand years until the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire in 1453. During most of its existence, the empire remained the most powerful economic, cultural, and military force in Europe. The terms "Byzantine Empire" and "Eastern Roman Empire" were coined after the end of the realm; its citizens continued to refer to their empire as the Roman Empire, and to themselves as Romans—a term which Greeks continued to use for themselves into Ottoman times. Although the Roman state continued and its traditions were maintained, modern historians prefer to differentiate the Byzantine Empire from Ancient Rome ...

Agnes Of Antioch
Agnes of Antioch ( 1154 – c. 1184) was Queen of Hungary from 1172 until 1184 as the first wife of Béla III. The accidental discovery of her intact tomb during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 has provided an opportunity for patriotic demonstrations. She was the only 12th-century Hungarian queen whose remains were studied by scientists, and her appearance was reconstructed. Life She was the daughter of Raynald of Châtillon, and Constance, Princess of Antioch. The exact date of her birth is uncertain. It is assumed that she was born soon after the secret marriage of her parents, which took place before May 1153. The most common belief in historiography was that Agnes was born in 1154. At the baptism she probably received the name of Agnes. In Constantinople. Marriage Her father was captured by the Muslims in November 1160 and was confined in Aleppo for the next fifteen years.

Béla III Of Hungary
Béla III ( hu, III. Béla, hr, Bela III, sk, Belo III; 114823 April 1196) was King of Hungary and Croatia between 1172 and 1196. He was the second son of King Géza II and Géza's wife, Euphrosyne of Kiev. Around 1161, Géza granted Béla a duchy, which included Croatia, central Dalmatia and possibly Sirmium. In accordance with a peace treaty between his elder brother, Stephen III, who succeeded their father in 1162, and the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos, Béla moved to Constantinople in 1163. He was renamed to Alexios, and the emperor granted him the newly created senior court title of ''despotes''. He was betrothed to the Emperor's daughter, Maria. Béla's patrimony caused armed conflicts between the Byzantine Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary between 1164 and 1167, because Stephen III attempted to hinder the Byzantines from taking control of Croatia, Dalmatia and Sirmium. Béla-Alexios, who was designated as Emperor Manuel's heir in 1165, took part in three Byzant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Árpád Dynasty
The Árpád dynasty, consisted of the members of the royal House of Árpád (), also known as Árpáds ( hu, Árpádok, hr, Arpadovići). They were the ruling dynasty of the Principality of Hungary in the 9th and 10th centuries and of the Kingdom of Hungary from 1000 to 1301. The dynasty was named after the Hungarian Grand Prince Árpád who was the head of the Hungarian tribal federation during the conquest of the Carpathian Basin, c. 895. Previously, it was referred to as the Turul dynasty or kindred. Both the first Grand Prince of the Hungarians (Álmos) and the first king of Hungary (Saint Stephen) were members of the dynasty. Eight members of the dynasty were canonized or beatified by the Catholic Church; therefore, since the 13th century the dynasty has often been referred to as the "Kindred of the Holy Kings". Two Árpáds were recognized as Saints by the Eastern Orthodox Church. The dynasty came to end in 1301 with the death of King Andrew III of Hungary, whil ...

Nicholas, Palatine Of Hungary
Nicholas ( hu, Miklós; died after 1215) was an influential Hungarian lord in the Kingdom of Hungary, who served as Palatine of Hungary twice during the reign of Andrew II of Hungary. Identification His origin is uncertain: according to a royal charter issued in 1233, he had a namesake son, who held the office of Master of the treasury from 1231 to 1235.Zsoldos 2011, p. 334. Thus it is excluded with absolute certainty that Palatine Nicholas was identical with Nicholas Szák, Nicholas Csák or Nicholas, brother of Mojs I, all of whom were barons of Andrew II during that time.Zsoldos 2011, p. 333. Career In contemporary records, Nicholas was first mentioned as Ban of Slavonia in 1200, when Andrew, the brother of King Emeric held the royal title of Duke of Slavonia, therefore can be assumed that Nicholas was a loyal supporter of Andrew, who rebelled against the rule of his brother several times.Zsoldos 2011, p. 42.

Elvin, Bishop Of Várad
Elvin (also ''Elvinus''; died after 1200) was a Hungarian prelate in the late 12th century, who served as Bishop of Várad (present-day Oradea, Romania) from 1189 to 1200.

He had a brother (or at least, relative; ''frater'') Boleslaus, also a prelate, who served as Bishop of Vác from 1193 to 1212. They also had another undentified brother, the father of certain Othmar and Marhard. Based on the geographical location of their landholdings, historian Vince Bunyitay considered that both of them belonged to the ''gens'' (clan) Becsegergely. Early 19th-century historian János Bárdosy claimed both Boleslaus and Elvin were the sons of Both (also Bot or Bat), the ''ispán'' of Bihar County. Elvin possessed estates around the episcopal see Várad. He had a palace in Micske in Bihar County (today part of Chișlaz, Romania). He also possessed five vineyards in Bihar (present-day Bih ...
