Sophia (wife Of Géza I Of Hungary)
Sophia of Loon (c. 1044/46 - b. 1075; Hungarian: ''Loozi Zsófia''; Dutch: ''Sofia van Loon''; French: ''Sophie de Looz'') was the Queen of Hungary, the first wife of Géza I of Hungary. According to the old Hungarian sources, she was the daughter of the Limburg (Belgium), Limburg duke Arnulf, the son of Rudolph, duke of Limburg, and countess Luitgard of Namur. In reality Arnulf might be Arnulf, Count of Holland, the father of Dirk III (the maternal great-grandfather of Sophia of Loon) or Arnulf of Haspinga (her paternal grandfather); and Luitgard might be Luitgarde of Namur, her paternal grandmother; thus, Rodolph was her paternal great-grandfather (see the ancestry chart below), who can possibly be identified with w:nl:Udo van Limburg, Richwin II, Castelijn of Baelen-Limbourg (1033). Family She may have been the daughter of Emmo of Loon, the third count of the County of Loon, and his wife Swanhilde, the daughter of Dirk III, Count of Holland, and Othelindis (c. 985-1043/44), ...

With German assistance, Géza's cousin Solomon, King of Hungary, Solomon acquired the crown when his father died in 1063, forcing Géza to leave Hungary.

In the treaty, Géza and his brother Ladislaus I of Hungary, Ladislaus acknowledged the rule of Solomon, who granted them their father's former Duchy (Kingdom of Hungary), duchy, which encompassed one-third of the Kingdom of Hungary. Géza closely cooperated with Solomon, but their relationship became tense from 1071. The king invaded the duchy in February 1074 and defeated Géza in a battle. However, Géza was victorious at the decisive battle of Mogyoród on 14 March 1074. He soon acquired the throne, although Solomon maintained his rule in the regions of Mosonmagyaróvá ...

11th-century Hungarian Women
The 11th century is the period from 1001 (represented by the Roman numerals MI) through 1100 (MC) in accordance with the Julian calendar, and the 1st century of the 2nd millennium. In the history of Europe, this period is considered the early part of the High Middle Ages. There was, after a brief ascendancy, a sudden decline of Byzantine power and a rise of Norman domination over much of Europe, along with the prominent role in Europe of notably influential popes. Christendom experienced a formal schism in this century which had been developing over previous centuries between the Latin West and Byzantine East, causing a split in its two largest denominations to this day: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. In Song dynasty China and the classical Islamic world, this century marked the high point for both classical Chinese civilization, science and technology, and classical Islamic science, philosophy, technology and literature. Rival political factions at the Song dyna ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1070s Deaths
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number, numeral, and glyph. It is the first and smallest positive integer of the infinite sequence of natural numbers. This fundamental property has led to its unique uses in other fields, ranging from science to sports, where it commonly denotes the first, leading, or top thing in a group. 1 is the unit of counting or measurement, a determiner for singular nouns, and a gender-neutral pronoun. Historically, the representation of 1 evolved from ancient Sumerian and Babylonian symbols to the modern Arabic numeral. In mathematics, 1 is the multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number.

She was most likely married to Géza I of Hungary, King Géza I. Husband's identity Synadene's first name is unknown. Her father was the Byzantine Empire, Byzantine commander Theodoulos Synadenos, while her mother was a sister of Nikephoros III Botaneiates, who ruled as Byzantine emperor in 1078–1081. The Byzantine chronicle of ''Scylitzes Continuatus'' states that "the emperor had given his niece the Synadene, daughter of Theodoulos Synadenos, to the king of Hungary, of Hungary for a wife; upon his death she returned to Byzantium." The king's name, much like her own, is not mentioned. An important clue to the identity of Synadene's husband lies in one of the enamel plaques contained in the Holy Crown of Hungary, which depicts a man identified as "Géza I of Hungary, Géza, faithful king of the Hungarians".
