Jelena/Helena (?) of Serbia, Queen Consort of Hungary was buried after 1146 at Burial location unknown ; From Find A Grave:
     BIRTH     1109
     DEATH     1146 (aged 36–37)
     She was Queen consort of Hungary through her marriage with Béla II, who ruled 1131–1141. Helena was the daughter of Duke Uroš I of Rascia and his wife, Anna Diogene-Vukanovi?. Around 1129, King Stephen II of Hungary arranged her marriage with his cousin Béla, who had been blinded on the order of the king's father, King Coloman of Hungary. The king granted estates near Tolna to the couple. Following the childless king's death, her husband was crowned King of Hungary on 28 April 1131. Helena exerted material influence over her blind husband during his reign. It was she who persuaded her husband's partisans, with her two sons in her arms, to massacre, at an assembly in Arad, 68 aristocrats they suspected of having suggested King Coloman blind her husband. When her husband died on 13 February 1141, their eldest son Géza II ascended the throne while still a child. Therefore, Helena and her brother Beloš Vukanovi?, whom she had invited to the court, governed the Kingdom of Hungary till September 1146 when he came of age.

He was blinded, together with his father, on the orders of his uncle King Kálmán and took refuge in the monastery of Pécsvárad[637]. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Almus dux et Bela filius eius" were blinded in 1117[638]. He was appointed heir to the throne by his first cousin King István II in [1129][639]. He succeeded in 1131 as BÉLA II "Vak/the Blind" King of Hungary, crowned 28 Apr 1131, one of the rare exceptions of succession to a throne by a blind person in the Balkan region. The Chronicle of Otto of Freising records that the succession of "Bela Almi filio" was challenged by his cousin Boris[640]. King Béla was under the influence of his domineering wife who took an active part in the government of the country. A charter dated 3 Sep 1138 records the confirmation of his father´s donation by "Rege Bela secundo, bonæ memoriæ Almi ducis filio, cum Helena regina" to "ecclesiam…Martyris Margarethæ…Demesiensi"[641]. The Annales Gradicenses record the death in 1141 of "Bela rex Ungarorum" and the accession of his son[642]. The Chronicon Dubnicense records the death "Id Feb" in 1141 of "Bela cecus" and his burial "Albe"[643]. The necrology of Admunt records the death "Id Feb" of "Bela rex"[644]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that King Béla reigned for nine years and two months and was buried at Székesfehérvár[645]. The Chronica Ungarorum records the death in 1140 of "rex Bela" and his burial "in Alba"[646]. The Chronicon Varadiense records the death "Id Feb" in 1141 of "rex Bela cæcus filius ducis Almus" and his burial "Albæ"[647].

The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. She brought part of northern Serbia, probably north-eastern Bosnia and Ma?va/Macsói, to Hungary as her dowry[649]. She led a campaign of revenge against the magnates alleged to have permitted the blinding of her husband, including the execution of 68 magnates at a meeting in Arad in [1131/32][650]. "

     “Jelena was born after 1109, the daughter of Uros, count of Serbia, and Anna Diogenissa. Around 1129 King Stefan II of Hungary arranged her marriage with his cousin Béla, who had been blinded on the order of the king's father, King Kálmán of Hungary. Stefan granted estates near Tolna to the couple. They had six children of whom Geisa II, Laszlo and Elisabeth would have progeny.
     “Following the childless king's death, Jelena's husband was crowned King of Hungary on 28 April 1131. Jelena exerted material influence over her blind husband during his reign. It was she, with her two sons in her arms, who persuaded his partisans, at an assembly in Arad, to massacre 68 nobles they suspected of suggesting to King Kálmán that he have her husband blinded.
     “When her husband died on 13 February 1141, their eldest son Geisa II ascended the throne while still a child. Jelena and her brother Belos of Rascia, whom she had invited to the court, governed the kingdom of Hungary until September 1146 when he came of age.
     “It is not sure when Jelena died, though it was after Geisa came of age.”.4 Jelena/Helena (?) of Serbia, Queen Consort of Hungary was also known as Jelena (?) of Rascia, Queen Consort of Hungary.11 EDV-25.

Emperor Manuel marched on Hungary with a view to restoring King István IV, but changed his mind at the border and negotiated a peace treaty with King István III. István IV unsuccessfully attempted to recapture the throne in 1165, but finding little support retreated to Srem, where he was poisoned soon after[674].

     "FRIEDRICH von Staufen, son of FRIEDRICH II "der Einäugige" Duke of Swabia [Staufen] & his first wife Judith of Bavaria (1122-drowned Göks or Saleph River, Asia Minor 10 Jun 1190, bur Tarsus [entrails], Antioch St Peter [flesh], Tyre Cathedral [legs]). The Tabula consanguinitatis Friderici I regis et Adelæ reginæ (which provided the basis for their divorce) names "regem Fridericum" as son of "ducem Fridericum"[536]. He succeeded in 1147 as FRIEDRICH III Duke of Swabia, resigning in 1152 in favour of his cousin Friedrich, son of Konrad III King of Germany, who succeeded as Duke Friedrich IV (see above). He left Germany in May 1147 with his uncle King Konrad III on the Second Crusade[537]. William of Tyre records him as "Fredericus Suevorum dux…ex fratre primogenitor nepos" in relation to King Konrad[538]. He was designated as successor by his uncle King Konrad shortly before the latter died, and was elected as FRIEDRICH I "Barbarossa" King of Germany at Frankfurt-am-Main 4 Mar 1152, crowned at Aachen 9 Mar 1152. He negotiated the Treaty of Constanz 23 Mar 1153 with Pope Eugenius III, who agreed his imperial coronation[539]. Pope Eugenius died 8 Jul 1153 before the coronation could take place. King of Italy 1154. After refusing the Romans' offer of a secular imperial coronation, he was eventually crowned as Emperor FRIEDRICH I at Rome 18 Jun 1155 by Pope Hadrian IV[540]. He succeeded as Comte de Bourgogne on his second marriage in 1156, de iure uxoris, and received the homage of the Burgundian magnates at Besançon in 1157. In 1157, he invaded Poland and compelled Duke Boles?aw IV to recognise German suzerainty[541]. Tensions in Italy, and particularly with the papacy, came to a head in 1166 when Emperor Friedrich's army marched to Rome where they defeated the Romans at Tusculum, captured the city, and enthroned his own papal candidate Pascal III, although the emperor was obliged to return to Germany as the army was decimated by malaria[542]. He invaded Italy again in 1174, and in May 1176 his troops were defeated at Legnano near Milan. A peace treaty was signed at Venice 24 Jul 1177[543]. On his return from Italy, he was crowned as king of Burgundy ("regnum Arelatense") at Arles 30 Jul 1178, thereby symbolically laying claim to the whole of Burgundy. He took the cross at Mainz 27 Mar 1188, in answer to the appeal of Pope Gregory VIII in Oct 1187 to relieve Jerusalem after its capture by Saladin, although he did not finally leave Germany until May 1189[544]. He received a warm welcome in Hungary and Serbia, but tensions developed with Emperor Isaakios II after he entered Byzantine territory 23 Jun 1189 at Brani?evo[545]. Anxious to protect his own interests, Emperor Isaakios signed a treaty of alliance with Saladin, which worsened the situation. After taking Philipopoulos [Plovdiv] and Adrianople, as well as threatening Constantinople, Emperor Friedrich forced Emperor Isaakios to give him provisions and ships to cross into Asia Minor, which he did in Mar 1190[546]. Friedrich was drowned while preparing to cross the river Calycadnus to enter Seleucia, apparently after falling into the river in heavy armour[547]. His body, ineffectively preserved in vinegar and taken with the army to Palestine, had disintegrated by the time it arrived at Antioch[548]. This accounts for the burial of different parts of his body in different places, as shown above.

The Urspergensium Chronicon names "Adilam filiam marchionis Diepoldi de Vohburc" as first wife of Emperor Friedrich I, and records her second marriage to "Dietho de Ravensburc ministerialis"[551]. The Annales Magdeburgenses record the separation of "Friedericus" and his first wife by "coram legatis apostolici" in 1153[552], the Annales Sancti Diibodi specifying Konstanz as the place of the separation[553]. She married secondly Dieto von Ravensburg, Welf minister 1152/80. The necrology of Isny records the death "XI Kal Mar" of "Adelhaidis regina benefactrix"[554].

     "FRIEDRICH von Staufen, son of FRIEDRICH II "der Einäugige" Duke of Swabia [Staufen] & his first wife Judith of Bavaria (1122-drowned Göks or Saleph River, Asia Minor 10 Jun 1190, bur Tarsus [entrails], Antioch St Peter [flesh], Tyre Cathedral [legs]). The Tabula consanguinitatis Friderici I regis et Adelæ reginæ (which provided the basis for their divorce) names "regem Fridericum" as son of "ducem Fridericum"[536]. He succeeded in 1147 as FRIEDRICH III Duke of Swabia, resigning in 1152 in favour of his cousin Friedrich, son of Konrad III King of Germany, who succeeded as Duke Friedrich IV (see above). He left Germany in May 1147 with his uncle King Konrad III on the Second Crusade[537]. William of Tyre records him as "Fredericus Suevorum dux…ex fratre primogenitor nepos" in relation to King Konrad[538]. He was designated as successor by his uncle King Konrad shortly before the latter died, and was elected as FRIEDRICH I "Barbarossa" King of Germany at Frankfurt-am-Main 4 Mar 1152, crowned at Aachen 9 Mar 1152. He negotiated the Treaty of Constanz 23 Mar 1153 with Pope Eugenius III, who agreed his imperial coronation[539]. Pope Eugenius died 8 Jul 1153 before the coronation could take place. King of Italy 1154. After refusing the Romans' offer of a secular imperial coronation, he was eventually crowned as Emperor FRIEDRICH I at Rome 18 Jun 1155 by Pope Hadrian IV[540]. He succeeded as Comte de Bourgogne on his second marriage in 1156, de iure uxoris, and received the homage of the Burgundian magnates at Besançon in 1157. In 1157, he invaded Poland and compelled Duke Boles?aw IV to recognise German suzerainty[541]. Tensions in Italy, and particularly with the papacy, came to a head in 1166 when Emperor Friedrich's army marched to Rome where they defeated the Romans at Tusculum, captured the city, and enthroned his own papal candidate Pascal III, although the emperor was obliged to return to Germany as the army was decimated by malaria[542]. He invaded Italy again in 1174, and in May 1176 his troops were defeated at Legnano near Milan. A peace treaty was signed at Venice 24 Jul 1177[543]. On his return from Italy, he was crowned as king of Burgundy ("regnum Arelatense") at Arles 30 Jul 1178, thereby symbolically laying claim to the whole of Burgundy. He took the cross at Mainz 27 Mar 1188, in answer to the appeal of Pope Gregory VIII in Oct 1187 to relieve Jerusalem after its capture by Saladin, although he did not finally leave Germany until May 1189[544]. He received a warm welcome in Hungary and Serbia, but tensions developed with Emperor Isaakios II after he entered Byzantine territory 23 Jun 1189 at Brani?evo[545]. Anxious to protect his own interests, Emperor Isaakios signed a treaty of alliance with Saladin, which worsened the situation. After taking Philipopoulos [Plovdiv] and Adrianople, as well as threatening Constantinople, Emperor Friedrich forced Emperor Isaakios to give him provisions and ships to cross into Asia Minor, which he did in Mar 1190[546]. Friedrich was drowned while preparing to cross the river Calycadnus to enter Seleucia, apparently after falling into the river in heavy armour[547]. His body, ineffectively preserved in vinegar and taken with the army to Palestine, had disintegrated by the time it arrived at Antioch[548]. This accounts for the burial of different parts of his body in different places, as shown above.

The Tabula consanguinitatis Friderici I regis et Adelæ reginæ (which provided the basis for their divorce) names "Adelam" as daughter of "marchionem Theobaldum"[549]. The Annales Herbipolenses name "Etenim filiam Theobaldi marchionis de Voheburc" as first wife of Emperor Friedrich "Barbarossa"[550]. The Urspergensium Chronicon names "Adilam filiam marchionis Diepoldi de Vohburc" as first wife of Emperor Friedrich I, and records her second marriage to "Dietho de Ravensburc ministerialis"[551]. The Annales Magdeburgenses record the separation of "Friedericus" and his first wife by "coram legatis apostolici" in 1153[552], the Annales Sancti Diibodi specifying Konstanz as the place of the separation[553]. She married secondly Dieto von Ravensburg, Welf minister 1152/80. The necrology of Isny records the death "XI Kal Mar" of "Adelhaidis regina benefactrix"[554].

Ioannes Kinnamos records the betrothal of "Fredericus Conradi Alemannorum principis ex fratre nepos" and "Mariam Isaacii sebastocratoris filiam"[555]. The Fasti Corbeienses (Continuatio altera) records the proposal for Friedrich I King of Germany to marry “Mariam Isaaci Comneni filiam” which was not pursued on the advice of the Pope[556]. She later married István of Hungary, who in 1163 succeeded as István IV King of Hungary. Niketas Choniates names "Stephanum et Bladisthlabum" as the two brothers of "Hunnorum princeps Iazas", stating that István married "Mariam…imperatoris neptem, Isaacio sebastocratore natam"[557].

She was crowned empress at St Peter's in Rome 1 Aug 1167 by Pope Pascal III[559]. She was crowned as Queen of Burgundy at Vienne in Aug 1178. "

The Chronicon Zagrabiense names "dux Stephanus postea rex, secundus…rex Wela, tertius…dux Arpad, quartus…dux Geyza" as the four sons of "Gexcha rex"[703]. Niketas Choniates names "Stephanum et Belam" as the two sons of "Hunnorum princeps Iazas"[704]. The Chronicon Posoniense records the death in 1162 of "Geyza rex" and the accession of "filius eius Stephanus"[705]. He succeeded his father in 1162 as ISTVÁN III King of Hungary. "Stephanus…rex Hungarie, beate memorie Geyse regis filius" granted property to "hominem in Supruniensis castri…Forcos", in the presence of "Heidrico palatino comite, Gabriele curiale comite, Ampudino comite, Laurencio comite, Rubeno comite, F--- comite, Dionisio comite, Vidone Pristaldo", by charter dated 1162[706]. His uncles were supported by Emperor Manuel I and succeeded in turn as kings of Hungary. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Ladizlaus et Stephanus fratres Geyze" returned from Greece and deposed István who fled "in Poson"[707]. István III was restored in 1164 by Beloš of Serbia, previously regent for his father. Emperor Manuel marched on Hungary with a view to restoring King István IV, but changed his mind at the border and negotiated a peace treaty under which he recognised István III as king and confirmed István's younger brother as Duke of Croatia and Dalmatia and his successor[708]. Further disputes with Byzantium followed, but Hungary was finally defeated by Byzantine forces at Zemun in 1167, after which it was forced to accept the loss of Srem, Dalmatia and part of Croatia[709]. István III King of Hungary granted "villam Luchman" to "nobiles Godefridus et Albertus" Teutonic knights who had left "terra natalis Patriæ" during the reign of King Géza II by charter dated 1171[710]. This charter represents the earliest reference so far found to the presence of Teutonic Knights in Hungary. The Gesta Hungarorum records that King István reigned for eleven years and nine months and was buried at Székesfehérvár[711]. The Chronicon Dubnicense records the death "IV Non Mar" in 1173 of "Stephanus filius Geyse" and his burial "Strigony"[712].
     "Betrothed (1167, repudiated 1168) --- Iaroslavna of Galich, daughter of IAROSLAV Vladimirkovich "Osmomysl" Prince of Galich & his first wife Olga Iurievna of Kiev. Baumgarten mentions the betrothal of King István and the daughter of Prince Iaroslav, citing secondary sources in support, but comments that the marriage was not finalised and that she was sent back from Hungary in 1169[713]. Europäische Stammtafeln refers to this as King István's first marriage, stating that she was repudiated in 1168, but it is not known whether this statement is based on primary sources[714].

Uros I Nemanjic (?) Zupan of Serbia died in 1140.1,4

; Per Genealogics: "Uros I Nemanjic was born about 1080, the son of Hliubomir. At the age of about fourteen Uros was a hostage in Constantinople, with his younger brother Stefan Vukan. He became _Veliki-Zupan_ (count) of Serbia and acknowledged the overlordship first of Hungary and afterwards of Byzantium. However, this did not stop him from taking the castle Ras from Byzantium in 1129. He married Anna Diogenissa, daughter of Konstantin Diogenes and Theodora Komnena, and they had a son Uros II Primslav and three (possibly four) daughters, of whom Marija and Jelena would have progeny. Uros I died about 1040."4

     Bardas Skleros Emperor of Byzantium was born circa 935.1
      ; As the distinguished commander of the Eastern armies, he cowed the Empire's once mighty Arab neighbours into paying it tribute. His brothers-in-law were the glorious soldier-emperor Johannes I Tzimiskes and Michael Bourtzes, a popular hero who recaptured Antioch from the Arabs in 969.1

; Leo van de Pas cites: Genealogists' Magazine Journal of the Society of Genealogists London, Reference: June 1991 730.1
;      NB: I have chosen to follow the descent of the Skleros family as outlined in the Wikipédia (Fr.) entry, and by Williams [2004]. This shows four children for Photeinos, including Romanos.
     In recent years Genealogics has adjusted it's line. At one point, Genealogics showed Romanos as the grandson of Photeinos (son of Bardas). As of April 2020, Romanos seems to have disappeared from Genealogics.
     Med Lands still shows Romanos as the son of Bardas, not of Photeinos (Pantherios).

The Primary Chronicle names Iaroslav, son of Sviatopolk, recording that his father installed him in Vladimir[706]. He was installed as Prince of Volynia at the conference of Uvetichi 30 Aug 1100[707]. He fought "the Yatvyag people" in 1113[708]. He was expelled in 1118 by Vladimir "Monomakh" Grand Prince of Kiev, who replaced him by own son Andrei[709]. As Iaroslav never became Grand Prince of Kiev, his descendants were effectively excluded from the succession in accordance with the family tradition referred to in the introduction to Chapter 1, Part B.

; Per Genealogics:
     "Boleslaw was the second son of Wratislaw I, duke of Bohemia and Drahomira von Stodar. Boleslaw was duke of Bohemia from 929 to his death.
     "Boleslaw is notorious for the murder, possibly at the behest of his mother Drahomira, of his brother Wenceslas (later canonised as St. Wenceslas), the result of which brought him to the Czech ducal throne. Wenceslas was murdered during a feast on 28 September 929, on the day when Boleslaw's first son was born. He received the strange name of Strachkwas, which meant 'a dreadful feast'. Being remorseful for what he had done, Boleslaw promised to devote his son to religion and educate him as a clergyman. He kept his word.
     "Despite the fratricide, Boleslaw is generally respected by Czech historians as an energetic ruler. Citing Wenceslas' religious policies as the cause of Boleslaw's fratricide seems unlikely as Boleslaw in no way impeded the growth of Christianity in Bohemia, and in fact he actually sent his daughter Mlada, a nun, to Rome to ask permission to make Prague a bishopric.
     "One major policy shift after the death of Wenceslas related to Czech-German relations. It is usually asserted that Wenceslas was an obedient client of the German King Heinrich 'the Fowler'. Boleslaw, on the other hand, found himself almost immediately at war with Heinrich's successor Otto 'the Great'. This conflict, presumably consisting of border raids (the general pattern of warfare in this region at the time) between Boleslaw on one side and the margrave of the Ostmark on the other, reached its conclusion in 950 when Boleslaw signed a peace with Otto. It cannot be said for certain if Boleslaw became a vassal of the German king, but it is known that he led a Czech force in alliance with Otto at the great victory over the Magyars at the Lech river (on 10 August 955). He had also helped Otto to crush an uprising of Slavs on the Lower Elbe in 953.
     "Czech historians also claim that Boleslaw expanded his power into Silesia, Lusatia, and Moravia, but no dates are given for these alleged conquests. If they did occur, they must have been only transitory gains because Boleslaw's successors had to conquer them all over again. Boleslaw saw the growth of Polish strength to the north of his borders and he accordingly arranged for his daughter Dobrawa to marry the Piast prince Mieszko I in 965. Boleslaw died on 15 July 967 and was succeeded by his son Boleslaw 'the Pious'."1

     "BOLESLAV of Bohemia, son of VRATISLAV I Duke of the Bohemians & his wife Drahomira ze Stodor ([908/10]-15 Jul [967]). The Chronica Boemorum names "Wincezlaum…et Bolezlaum" sons of Wratislav and Dragomir[27]. His birth date range is estimated from the birth date of his second son and the estimated birth date of Boleslav's older brother. "Bolezlav" is named as younger brother of "Vencezlaum" in the Vita Vencezslavi, which specifies that he was "mentis perversitate et actuum qualitate execrandus, diabolico tactu instinctus"[28]. He succeeded in 935, after murdering his brother, as BOLESLAV I "der Grausame" Duke of the Bohemians. His accession marked the start of a period of hostile relations with the empire until Otto I King of Germany forced Duke Boleslav to pay tribute fourteen years later, and placed him, according to Thietmar, "in the custody of his brother Heinrich Duke of Bavaria"[29]. The Bohemians helped King Otto to defeat the Hungarians at Lechfeld near Augsburg in 955, and afterwards crossed the Carpathian mountains and occupied Krakow and Silesia[30]. In 965, Duke Boleslav formed an alliance with Mieszko I Prince of Poland, confirmed by the marriage of the latter to Boleslav's daughter[31]. The Chronica Boemorum records the death of Boleslav "967 Id Iul"[32]. The Cronica Principum Regni Boemiæ records the death in 967 of "Boleslaus Sacuus filius Wratislai"[33].

     "Boleslaus I the Cruel, also called Boleslav I (Czech: Boleslav I. Ukrutný) (c.?915 – 15 July, 967 or 972), a member of the P?emyslid dynasty, was ruler (kníže, "duke" or "prince") of the Duchy of Bohemia from 935 to his death. He is notorious for the murder of his elder brother Wenceslaus, through which he became duke. Despite his complicity in this fratricide, Boleslaus is generally respected by Czech historians as an energetic ruler who significantly strengthened the Bohemian state and expanded its territory. His accomplishments include significant economic development due to an expansion in trade, the introduction of silver mining and the minting of the first local coinage, the Prague denarius.
Early life
     "Boleslaus was the son of Duke Vratislaus I of Bohemia (d. 921) by his marriage with Drahomíra (d. 934), probably a Hevellian princess. His father took over the rule in Prague during the time of his birth, he had to deal with both the exertion of influence by both the East Frankish dukes of Bavaria and Saxony and the Magyar incursions.
     "Boleslaus and his elder brother Wenceslaus were taught the Christian faith and reading the Psalms by their grandmother Ludmila. There is evidence that Boleslaus's pagan mother might [have] influenced him against his brother and Christianity, though he later repented. In no way did he impede the growth of Christianity during his reign in Bohemia, and in fact, he actually sent his daughter Mlada, a nun, to Pope John XIII in Rome to ask permission to make Prague a bishopric.
     "Upon his death, Vratislaus was succeeded by his eldest son Wenceslaus. While the external situation worsened with the alliance between Duke Arnulf of Bavaria and the Saxon duke Henry the Fowler, King of East Francia from 919, he could only maintain his independence by entering an agreement on an annual tribute payable to the East Frankish (German) ruler. Shortly afterwards, in 935 (or in 929, according to other sources), Wenceslaus was murdered at Stará Boleslav to where he was invited by Boleslaus. According to tradition, he was killed during the feast of Saints Cosmas and Damian (September 28), at precisely the time when a son of Boleslaus was born. The child was given a strange name: Strachkvas, which means "a dreadful feast". Remorseful for what he had done, Boleslaus promised to have his son educated as a clergyman and devoted his life to religion.
Reign
     "Once having taking over the Prague throne, one of Boleslaus's major concerns was the tribute paid yearly to the East Frankish kings as stipulated in the peace treaty that Henry the Fowler had established with Boleslaus's brother Wenceslaus. He stopped the payment shortly after he ascended the throne, which led to a prolonged war with Henry's successor King Otto. In 935 Boleslaus attacked the Thurinian allies of the Saxons in the northwest and defeated two of Otto's armies (from Thuringia and Merseburg). The war then deteriorated to border raids (the general pattern of warfare in this region at the time) and reached its conclusion in 950, when King Otto besieged a castle owned by Boleslaus's son. This prompted Boleslaus to sign a peace treaty with Otto. Although he remained undefeated, he promised to resume the payment of tribute.
     "Five years later, the armies of Czechs and Germans allied against the Magyars in the victorious Battle of Lechfeld on 10 August 955. After the battle, the remainder of the huge Magyar army turned to Bohemia, where it was crushed by Boleslaus. Shortly afterwards, in October, he also helped Otto to crush an uprising of Slavic tribes led by the Obotrite princes Nakon and Stojgn?v on the Lower Elbe river in the Battle on the Raxa.[1]
     "The defeat of invading Hungarians brought the same benefits to both Germans and Czechs. Less obvious is what Boleslaus expected to gain from his participation in Otto's war against the Obotrite princes in far north. He probably wanted to ensure that his powerful German neighbors did not interfere with him in expanding the Bohemian territories to the east.[2] As a result of the victory, Boleslaus freed the Moravian lands from Magyar raids and expanded his territory, which in turn was later conquered by Polish dukes and became known as Upper Silesia and Lesser Poland. By occupying the city of Kraków, he controlled important trade routes from Prague to Kiev and Lviv. To defuse the Bohemian-Polish conflict, Duke Boleslav married his daughter Dobrawa to the pagan Piast prince Mieszko I in 963/964, and helped bring Christianity to Poland. He even allied with Mieszko in the campaign against the Saxon count Wichmann the Younger.
     "According to the medieval chronicler Cosmas of Prague, Duke Boleslaus died on 15 July 967, a date questioned by recent research. He was succeeded by his eldest son Boleslaus the Pious.
Marriage and children
     "Boleslav's wife may have been Biagota. It is unknown if she was the mother of all his four adult children:
** Doubravka of Bohemia,
** Boleslaus II, Duke of Bohemia,
** Strachkvas of Bohemia,
** Mlada of Bohemia.

Boleslav I "the Cruel" (?) Duke of Bohemia was also known as Boleslaus I (?) Duke of Bohemia.9

; Per Enc. of World History: "BOLESLAV I. He seems to have carried on constant warfare against the encroaching Germans, until forced (950) to accept German suzerainty. To the east he conquered Moravia, part of Slovakia, part of Silesia, and even Kraków. Furthermore, he appears to have established a fairly strong royal power over the old tribal chiefs."10

He was Duke of Bohemia. (See attached map of expansion of Bohemian state during reigns of Boleslav I and Boleslav II, from Wikipedia: By A. Blaschka - Doc.

     "Boleslaw II was the son of Boleslaw I 'the Gruesome', duke of Bohemia, and Biagota von Stockow. He became duke upon his father's death in 967.
     "Boleslaw II maintained good relations with the Ottonian German kings, and in 975 he supported Otto II during his civil war against Heinrich II, duke of Bavaria. In 977 Boleslaw again attacked Bavaria, but on this occasion was barred from annexing any lands by Otto II. Boleslaw's reign is most notable for the foundation of the diocese of Prague in 973. It was placed within the jurisdiction of the archbishop of Mainz. In 982 a nobleman called Vojtech was appointed to this position until he abandoned his primacy to lead a mission to the Old Prussians in 994. (Vojtech became known as Adalbert the German form of his name. He was killed in Prussia in 997, and later canonised as St. Adalbert.)
     "War between Poland and Bohemia was continual in this period, and by 990 Boleslaw had occupied Silesia.
     "On 28 September 995, Boleslaw and his confederates, the Vrsovci, stormed Libice in southern Bohemia and massacred Slavnik's dynasty. This clan had been the main rival of Premyslid power in Bohemia. Boleslaw's brutal triumph ensured the unity of Bohemia under a single ruler.
     "Boleslaw and his wife Hemma/Emma had five children. Their eldest son Wenceslas died young; the second son Boleslav III succeeded him as duke of Bohemia, but he was captured, blinded and died imprisoned in Poland; the third son Jaromir replaced his younger brother Udalrich, but he was castrated, blinded and finally murdered; the next son Udalrich/Oldrich, also became duke of Bohemia, and was the only sibling to have progeny, the last child, Luta, was only mentioned in 1026.

Boleslaw II "the Pious" (?) Duke of Bohemia was also known as Boleslaus II (?) Duke of Bohemia.13

; Per Enc. of World History:
     "BOLESLAV II. He apparently continued the policies of his father and saw to the final victory of the Christian faith (foundation of the bishopric of Prague, 973). Missionaries from Bohemia took an active part in the conversion of Hungary and Poland.
     "The entire 11th and 12th centuries were filled with chronic dynastic conflicts between members of the Premysl family and the various claimants appealing to Poland and more particularly to the German emperors for support. The result was the gradual integration of Bohemia with Germany, and the extension of feudalism to the Czech lands."16

; According to The Henry Project:
     "Conjectured son-in-law (long chronology, unconvincing): Boleslav II, d. 7 February 999, duke of Bohemia.
     "The theory that Adiva married Boleslav II of Bohemia was reported in a 1965 article by Bernard Orna [Orna (1965); thanks are due to Peter Stewart for sending a copy of the article, and to Todd Farmerie, for earlier giving an outline], who attributed the hypothesis to Dr. Pavel Radom?rský of the National Museum in Prague. The author describes and gives an illustration of a Bohemian coin having a figure of a woman and an inscription which reads "+V+DIV?+V" around the circumference of the coin. Since letters on coins were frequently upside-down or backwards during that period, Orna states that Radom?rský would see the inscription as reading "ADIVEA", with the first and last "V" representing an "A". Thus, the coins would supposedly name Eadweard's daughter Adiva, further identified with Boleslav's queen Emma/Hemma (d. 1006), who is known from the chronicler Cosmas [Cosmas, Chron. Boemorum, i, 33, MGH SS 9: 55; obit. at ibid., i, 39, s.a. 1006, p. 62] and from coins [Fiala (1889), 16]. This last identification is made on the strength of the supposition that Elfgifa (i.e., Ælfgifu) was the English form of Emma (Elfgifa having previously been given as the English form of Adiva's name). However, even though there was a queen who was known as both Ælfgifu and Emma (Emma of Normandy, wife successively of Æthelred II and Cnut), the names Emma and Ælfgifu are not interchangeable in general. Also, as noted above, identifying Ælfgifu as the English form of Adiva's name requires an emendation of William of Malmesbury. The known Anglo-Saxon features of some of the coinage of Boleslav II suggests some sort of connection between England and Bohemia during the late tenth century [see Fiala (1889), 13-15, showing a number of coins of Boleslav II in the type of Æthelred II], but even if that connection was a royal marriage, there seems to be no convincing reason to place it in the generation of Eadweard's children. Indeed, the chronology of this theory seems rather long, especially if Boleslav is being suggested as the husband of Adiva, who, as noted above, almost certainly married before 940. Boleslav II succeeded his father Boleslav I as duke on 15 July 967 [Cosmas, Chron. Boemorum, i, 21, MGH SS 9: 48], and did not die until 7 February 999 [ibid., i, 33, MGH SS 9: 56]. Thus, his floruit seems rather late for a supposed husband of Adiva, although too little is known about his birthdate to rule out the relationship on this basis alone. Thus, the evidence for this relationship seems very weak."17

; Per Med Lands:
     "BOLESLAV ([927/28]-7 Feb 999). The Chronica Boemorum names "secundus Bolezlaus dux" as son of Boleslav[35]. His birth date range is estimated from the birth date of his younger brother, and assuming that the birth date range of their father is accurate. He succeeded his father in [967] as BOLESLAV II "der Fromme" Duke of the Bohemians. Duke Boleslav supported the rebellion of Heinrich II "der Zänker" Duke of Bavaria against his cousin Emperor Otto II in [974/75]. After the latter confiscated the duke's territories, ex-Duke Heinrich fled to Bohemia and took refuge with Duke Boleslav[36]. Emperor Otto II founded a bishopric in Prague in 975[37]. Duke Boleslav supported Heinrich "den Zänker" ex-Duke of Bavaria in his rebellion against Otto III King of Germany in 984[38]. He founded Lundenburg abbey in 993. The Cronica Principum Regni Boemiæ records the death in 999 of "Boleslaus Pius filius Boleslai Sacui", adding that he created the bishopric of Prague and founded the monasteries of "sanctum Georgium et in Breunowia et in Insula"[39].
     "m HEMMA, daughter of --- (-1005 or 1006). The Chronica Boemorum names "Hemmam" as wife of "secundus Bolezlaus dux", without giving her origin, and records her death in 1006 in a later passage[40]. Thietmar records that she was sent into exile with her son Jaromir and the latter's unnamed younger brother[41], which appears to be dated to 1003.
     "Duke Boleslav has been suggested as the possible husband of Ælfgifu of Wessex, daughter of Edward "the Elder" King of Wessex & his second wife Ælfleda ---. Hroswitha of Gandersheim describes her as "Adiva … younger in years and likewise inferior in merit" [to her older sister Eadgyth, whom she accompanied to Germany to provide an alternative choice of bride for Otto of Germany[42]. According to William of Malmesbury, she married "a certain Duke near the Alps"[43], who has not been identified. It seems improbable chronologically that her husband could have been Duke Boleslav. Although the duke's birth date is not known, his younger brother Strakhvas was born 28 Sep 929[44]. It therefore seems unlikely that Boleslaw could have been born much earlier than 925 at the earliest, whereas Ælfgifu was probably born in the range [910/15] assuming that she was of marriageable age when she went to Germany with her sister.] "

     BIRTH          unknown, Prague, Okres Praha, Prague Capital City, Czech Republic
     DEATH     9 Nov 1034, Prague, Okres Praha, Prague Capital City, Czech Republic
     b. 975
     Great Grandson of: Duke Vratislav I
     Oldrich a member of the Premyslid dynasty, was Duke of Bohemia from 1012 to 1033 and briefly again in 1034. His accession to the Bohemian throne marked the start of a phase of stability during internal dynastic struggles. Under his rule, the Moravian lands were reconquered from Polish occupation.
     Oldrich was the third son of Duke Boleslaus II of Bohemia (d. 999) and his consort Emma of Melník. Upon the death of his father, his eldest brother Boleslaus III succeeded him as duke, however, he soon entered into a fierce conflict with his younger brothers Oldrich and Jaromír. In 1001 both had to flee to the Bavarian court at Regensburg. When Boleslaus III was deposed by the rivaling Vršovci dynasty the next year and the Polish ruler Boleslaw I the Brave invaded Bohemia, King Henry II of Germany intervened. Upon his expedition to Prague, Boleslaus' brothers were able to return and Jaromír was installed as Bohemian duke in 1004.
     In 1032, Duke Oldrich was invited to the Hoftag diet at Merseburg, but did not appear. His absence raised the ire of the emperor and Conrad, busy with events in Burgundy, charged his son Henry III with punishing the recalcitrant Bohemian. Oldrich was arrested, deposed and sent to Bavaria. He was again replaced by his brother Jaromír. However, when Oldrich was pardoned the next year, he returned to Bohemia and had Jaromír captured, blinded, and deposed. He seized power again and drove out Jaromír's son from Moravia.
     Oldrich died abruptly on 9 November 1034 and later examination of his skeleton reveal his skull to have suffered a fatal blow. Jaromír then renounced the throne in favor of his nephew Bretislaus.
     According to legend rendered by the medieval chronicler Cosmas of Prague, Duke Oldrich about 1002 married a peasant girl known as Božena, daughter of Kresina, after discarding his first wife on the grounds that they were childless. Together they had a son: Bretislaus I.

; Per Genealogics:
     “Udalrich was the son of Boleslaw II 'the Pious', duke of Bohemia, and Hemma. He was duke of Bohemia from 1012 to 1033 and briefly in 1034. He had three older brothers: Wenceslas, Boleslaw III and Jaromir. Jaromir rebelled against his elder brother Boleslaw III, but was unable to secure the throne which was subsequently taken by Boleslaw I Chrobry, king of Poland. Jaromir and his brother Udalrich then sought military backing from the German King Heinrich II. This action definitively placed Bohemia within the jurisdiction of the Holy Roman Empire.
     “Udalrich deposed Jaromir on 12 April 1012 and recognised the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Emperor. Discarding his wife on the grounds that they were childless, Udalrich had two sons by a peasant woman known as Bozena. Udalrich and his son Bretislaw sought to win back Moravia from the Poles, and in 1029 Bretislaw drove the Poles out of the eastern lands. Bretislaw's efforts in Slovakia against Hungary failed in 1030 because of the jealousy of the Emperor Conrad II. In the following year, Czech forces refused to take the field for the emperor.
     “In 1032, Udalrich was invited to the Diet of Merseburg, and did not appear. His absence raised the ire of the emperor; Conrad, busy with events in Burgundy, charged his son Heinrich VI, duke of Bavaria, with punishing the recalcitrant Bohemian. Udalrich paid homage to Conrad, and was deposed and sent to Bavaria. He was replaced by his brother Jaromir, but Udalrich seized power again in 1034.
     “Udalrich died suddenly on 9 November 1034; later examination of his skeleton revealed his skull to have suffered a fatal blow. Udalrich was succeeded by his son Bretislaw. On 4 November 1035 Jaromir was murdered.”.2

     DEATH     10 Jan 1055 (aged 52–53), Pardubický (Pardubice), Czech Republic
     B?etislav I. known as the Bohemian Achilles, of the house of the P?emyslids, was Duke of Bohemia from 1035 until his death. He was the son of Duke Old?ich and his low-born concubine Božena. As an illegitimate son could not obtain a desirable wife by conventional means, he chose to kidnap his future wife Judith of Schweinfurt a daughter of the Bavarian noble Henry of Schweinfurt, Margrave of Nordgau, in 1019 at Schweinfurt. It was in 1030 that Bretislaus married the afore-mentioned Judith. Before his death, Bretislaus organised the succession (in 1054) and issued the famous Seniority Law, introducing agnatic seniority for order of succession. Younger members of the dynasty were supposed to govern fiefs (technically, parts of Moravia), but only at the Duke's discretion.His eldest son Spytihn?v was to succeed him as Duke of Bohemia with control over that territory. Moravia was incorporated into the Bohemian duchy, but divided between three of his younger sons. The Olomouc Appanage went to Vratislaus; the Znojmo Appanage went to Konrád; and the Brno Appanage went to Otto. The youngest son, Jaromír, entered the church and became Bishop of Prague.
     Bretislaus died at Chrudim in 1055 during his preparation for another invasion of Hungary and was succeeded by his son Spytihn?v II as Duke of Bohemia. His younger children were left the region of Moravia. Otto and Vratislav were shut out of the government by Spytihn?v, but after his death both gained control of Moravia and Bohemia, respectively.

; Per Genealogics:
     “Bretislaw was born between 1002 and 1005, the son of Udalrich, duke of Bohemia of the House of the Premyslids, then the protector of the Zatecko province. Known as 'the Bohemian Achilles', Bretislaw was the duke of Bohemia from 1035 until his death.
     “In 1019, while raiding the nunnery at Schweinfurt, Bretislaw cut the bar of the convent door with his sword and kidnapped his future wife Judith von Schweinfurt, a daughter of Heinrich von Schweinfurt, Markgraf auf dem Nordgau. He married Judith after 1021, and they had a daughter Dymudis who remained unmarried, and five sons: Spytihnev II, Wratislaw II, Konrad I, Jaromir and Otto I. Except for Jaromir, who became bishop of Prague and Emperor Heinrich IV's chancellor, they all had progeny.
     “During his father's reign, in 1029 he took back Moravia from Poland. About 1031 Bretislav invaded Hungary in order to prevent its expansion under King Stephen. The partition of Bohemia between Udalrich and his elder brother Jaromir in 1034 was probably the reason why Bretislaw fled beyond the Bohemian border only to come back to take the throne from Jaromir.
     “In 1035 Bretislaw helped Emperor Conrad II in his war against the Lusatians. In 1039 he invaded Little Poland, captured Krakow and Poznan and sacked Gniezno, bringing the relics of St. Adalbert back with him. On the way back he conquered part of Silesia including Wroclaw. His main goal was to set up an Archbishopric See in Prague and create a large state subject only to the Holy Roman Empire. In 1040 the German King Heinrich III invaded Bohemia, but was forced to retreat by an ambush on his supply lines. However, Bretislaw was aware that he could not hold out indefinitely against the Germans and signed a truce with Heinrich III. In the ensuing peace treaty Bretislaw renounced all of his conquests save for Moravia.
     “In 1047 Emperor Heinrich III negotiated a peace treaty between Bretislaw and the Poles. This pact worked in Bretislaw's favour as the Polish ruler swore never again to attack Bohemia in return for an annual subsidy to Gniezno. In 1054 Bretislaw issued the famous Seniority Law. For the first time this act stated that Bohemia and Moravia would pass directly through the senior line of the Premyslid dynasty. Younger members of the dynasty were allowed to govern Moravia, but only at the duke's discretion.
     “Bretislaw was the author of decrees concerning the rules of Christianisation, which included bans on polygamy and trading on holidays.
     “Bretislaw died at Chrudim on 10 January 1055 during his preparation for another invasion of Hungary. Before his death, Bretislaw had organised the succession. His eldest son Spytihnev was to succeed him as duke of Bohemia, with control over that territory. Moravia was put under the Bohemian crown, but divided between three of his younger sons. Olomouc went to Wratislaw, Znojmo went to Konrad, and Brno went to Otto. Jaromir entered the church and became bishop of Prague in 1068.”.2

     BIRTH     unknown
     DEATH     2 Aug 1058, Székesfehérvár, Fejér, Hungary
     Judith von Schweinfurt was a duchesse of Bohemia and the wife of Bretislaus I of Bohemia. Her parents were Heinrich, Markgraf von Nordgau (margrave of Bavaria) of the House of Babenberg and his wife Gerberga.
     The House of Premysl wished to confirm its good relationship with the Babenbergs through a marriage to Judith in 1020. Judith was a desirable bride, but Oldrich of Bohemia had only one son, Bretislaus, and he was of illegitimate birth, thus complicating the prospect of a marriage with the high-born Judith. Bretislaus solved the problem by kidnapping Judith from a monastery, although he was never punished for the crime. He married Judith some time later. Their first son Spytihnev was born after almost ten years, which led to the hypothesis that the kidnapping happened in 1029, although Judith may have given birth to daughters before her first son.
     After Bretislaus's death in 1055, Judith was expelled from Bohemia by order of Spytihnìv. She settled in Hungary, where, according to chronicler Cosmas of Prague, she married "Petri regi Ungariorum" (Pietro Orseolo, deposed king of Hungary) to spite Spytihnìv. This marriage is not unanimously accepted as fact by historians.
     Judith died in 1058. The Chronica Boemorum records the death "1058 IV Non Aug" of "Iudita coniunx Bracizlavi, ductrix Boemorum", specifying (among other things) that her son Vratislav had retrieved her body in order to bury her next to Bretislaus. They are buried in St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague.

; Per Genealogics:
     "Anna was born about 1226, the daughter of Béla IV, king of Hungary, and Maria Laskarina. In 1244 she married Rosztiszlo, who would become grand duke of Kiev and king of Bulgaria, son of Michail 'the Saint', grand duke of Kiev, and Marija Romanowna of Halicz. At the time Rosztiszlo could not strengthen his rule in Halicz, so he went to the court of King Béla IV of Hungary, and there he married Anna. Anna and Rosztiszlo had two sons Béla and Michael, and four daughters, of whom Erzsébet and Kunhata would have progeny.
     "Anna had always been her father's favourite daughter. He allowed her to exercise increasing influence over him. In his last will Béla entrusted his daughter and his followers to her son-in-law Przemysl Ottokar II, king of Bohemia, husband of Kunhata, because he did not trust his eldest son Stephan.
     "Michael inherited their father's part of Bosnia. Béla IV, having made these assignments to his grandsons, decided also to make some further changes in his peripheral territories, and assigned Slavonia, Dalmatia, and Croatia, which until then had all been under his heir, the future Stephan V of Hungary, to a younger son Béla.
     "Stephan was furious and immediately revolted against his father; during the ensuing war Anna and her son Béla of Machva assisted Béla IV. Anna's father and brother concluded a peace on 5 December 1262, according to which the kingdom was divided, Stephan acquiring the territories east of the river Danube as 'junior king'. After the peace, Stephan occupied the possessions which Anna's sons had inherited from their father in the eastern parts of the kingdom (the former royal possessions in Bereg County and the castle of Füzér). Anna submitted a formal complaint against her brother to Pope Urban IV, but the 'junior king' did not hand back their possessions.
     "Anna went to live at her son-in-law's royal court in Bohemia. Przemysl Ottokar II married Anna's daughter Kunhata in 1261 and they became parents to Wenceslas II, who would become king of Bohemia, and two daughters, Kunigunde and Agnes, all of whom would have progeny. Anna's husband died in 1262, leaving her a widow. It is unknown when Anna died, but it may have been about 1274."4



; Per Wikipedia:
     "Anna of Hungary (born 1226) was a daughter of Béla IV of Hungary and his wife, Maria Laskarina. Anna was a member of the House of Árpád. Anna gained many titles from her marriage to Rostislav Mikhailovich.
Family
     "Anna was the third of ten children borne to her parents. She was sister to three saints: Kinga, Margaret and Blessed Jolenta. Other siblings included Stephen V of Hungary and Elizabeth of Hungary, Duchess of Bavaria.
     "Her paternal grandparents were Andrew II of Hungary and Gertrude of Merania, sister to Agnes of Merania.
     "Her maternal grandparents were Theodore I Laskaris and Anna Komnena Angelina.[1]
Marriage
     "In 1243, Anna married Rostislav Mikhailovich. Rostislav could not strengthen his rule in Halych, so he went to the court of King Béla IV of Hungary, and there he married Anna. Anna had always been her father's favourite daughter. He allowed her to exercise more and more influence over him. In his last will, Béla entrusted his daughter and his followers to her son-in-law, Ottokar II of Bohemia, because he did not trust his eldest son Stephen. Michael inherited their father's part of Bosnia. King Béla IV, having made these assignments to his grandsons, decided also to make some further changes in his peripheral territories, and assigned Slavonia, Dalmatia, and Croatia, which until then had all been under his heir, the future Stephen V of Hungary, to a younger son named Béla.
     "Stephen was infuriated and immediately revolted against his father; during the ensuing war, Anna and her son, Béla of Macsó assisted Béla IV.[2] Anna's father and brother concluded a peace on 5 December 1262, and according to the peace the kingdom was divided, the latter acquiring the territories east of the river Danube as “junior king”. After the peace, Stephen V occupied the possessions which Anna's sons had inherited from their father in the eastern parts of the kingdom (the former royal possessions in Bereg County and the Castle of Füzér). Anna submitted a formal complaint against her brother to Pope Urban IV, but the "junior king" did not hand back their possessions.
     "Anna went to live at her son-in-law's royal court in Bohemia. Ottokar married Anna's daughter, Kunigunda in 1261 and they became parents to Wenceslaus II of Bohemia. Anna's husband died in 1262, leaving Anna a widow. It is unknown when Anna died but probably about 1274.
Children
     "The couple had the following children:
** Duke Béla of Macsó (ca. 1243 – November, 1272)
** Duke Michael of Bosnia (before 1245 – 1271)
** Unnamed daughter (perhaps Anna) wife firstly of Tsar Michael Asen I of Bulgaria, secondly of Tsar Koloman II of Bulgaria
** Kunigunda, Queen Consort of Bohemia (1245 – September 9, 1285), wife firstly of King Ottokar II of Bohemia, and secondly of Zaviš von Falkenstein-Rosenberg
** Gryfina, High Duchess consort of Poland, (? – May 26, 1303/1309), wife of Prince Leszek II of Cracow
** Margaret, a nun.

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Rostislav Mikhailovich (Hungarian: Rosztyiszláv,[1] Bulgarian and Russian: ????????? ??????????) (after 1210[2] / c. 1225[3] – 1262)[4] was a Rus' prince (a member of the Rurik dynasty), and a dignitary in the Kingdom of Hungary.[1]
     "He was prince of Novgorod (1230), of Halych (1236–1237, 1241–1242), of Lutsk (1240), and of Chernigov (1241–1242).[2] When he could not strengthen his rule in Halych, he went to the court of King Béla IV of Hungary, and married the king's daughter, Anna.[1]
     "He was the Ban of Slavonia (1247–1248), and later he became the first Duke of Macsó (after 1248–1262), and thus he governed the southern parts of the kingdom.[1] In 1257, he occupied Vidin and thenceforward he styled himself Tsar of Bulgaria.[5]
Early life
     "Rostislav was the eldest son of Prince Mikhail Vsevolodovich (who may have been either prince of Pereyaslavl or Chernigov when Rostislav was born) and his wife Elena Romanovna (or Maria Romanovna),[3] a daughter of Roman Mstislavich, prince of Volhynia and Halych.[2] The Russian annals mentioned him for the first time in 1229 when the Novgorodians invited his father to be their prince.[2]
Prince of Novgorod
     "Rostislav underwent the ritual hair-cutting ceremony (postrig) in the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod on May 19, 1230, and his father installed him on the throne.[2] The postrig conferred on Rostislav the official status of prince of Novgorod and thus he ruled Novgorod as a fully fledged prince after the ceremony.[2] Rostislav, in keeping with his father's policy, continued to pass legislation favoring the Novgorodians.[2]
     "In September a frost destroyed the crops in the Novgorod district causing a great famine.[2] Novgorodians opposed to his father's rule took advantage of the calamity to foment unrest, and they incited the townsmen to plunder the court of Posadnik Vodovik who was his father's man.[2] Although the posadnik forced the rival boyars to swear oaths of allegiance on November 6, but a month later when he and Rostislav visited Torzhok, the Novgorodians looted Vodovik's court and those of his supporters.[2] Shortly afterwards Rostislav was forced to flee to his father.[2]
     "The Novgorodians considered themselves free to invite another prince, and they summoned Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich of Vladimir, who came on December 30.[2]
Prince of Halych
     "Towards the end of September 1235, Mikhail Vsevolodovich occupied Halych whose prince (his brother-in-law and thus Rostislav's maternal uncle) Daniil Romanovich had fled from the principality.[2] In the spring of 1236, Rostislav accompanied his father who attacked the principality of Volhynia which was still under the rule of Daniil Romanovich.[2] However, in the meantime the Cumans plundered the Galician lands forcing Mikhail Vsevolodovich to abandon his campaign.[2]
     "At the beginning of the summer of 1236, Daniil Romanovich and his brother Vasilko Romanovich rallied their troops to march against Mikhail Vsevolodovich and Rostislav, but they barricaded themselves in Halych with their retinue, the local militia, and a contingent of Hungarians sent by king Béla IV, and thus their opponents had to withdraw.[2]
     "After the Hungarian troops had departed, Daniil Romanovich tried again, and Mikhail Vsevolodovich attempted to placate him by giving him Przemy?l.[2] Shortly afterwards, Rostislav was appointed to rule Halych by his father who was about departing for Kiev which had been occupied by Yaroslav Vsevolodovich.[2] After Mikhail had reoccupied Kiev, he and Rostislav attacked Przemy?l and took it back from Daniil Romanovich.[2]
     "Rostislav retained the loyalty of the Galician boyars but he was not as capable a military commander as his father.[2] Around 1237, he rode against the Lithuanians who had pillaged the lands of duke Conrad of Mazovia who had been his ally against Daniil Romanovich.[2] He also took all the boyars and horsemen with him and only a skeleton force remained behind to defend Halych.[2] The people of Halych therefore summoned Daniil Romanovich and installed him as prince.[2] On hearing the news, Rostislav fled to king Béla IV.[2]
The Tatar invasion of the Kievan Rus’
     "In the winter of 1237, the Tatar troops led by Batu Khan devastated Ryazan; by 1240, almost the lands of Chernigov, Pereyaslavl, Ryazan, and Suzdalia lay in ruins.[2] During the first half of 1240, Mikhail Vsevolodovich defied Batu Khan by putting his envoys, who were seeking to coax him into submitting, to death.[2] The only allies to whom he could turn for aid were the Hungarians and the Poles, and therefore he fled to Hungary.[2] He attempted to arrange a marriage for Rostislav with the king's daughter, but Béla IV saw no advantage to forming an alliance and evicted the two princes from Hungary.[2]
     "Rostislav and his father went to Masovia where his father decided that the expedient course of action was to seek reconciliation with Daniil Romanovich who had been controlling his domains by that time and holding Mikhail Vsevolodovich's wife (and his own sister) captive.[2] Mikhail Vsevolodovich sent envoys to his brother-in-law admitting that he had sinned against him on many occasions by waging war and by reneging on his promises.[2] He pledged never again to antagonize Daniil Romanovich and forswore making any future attempts on Halych.[2] Daniil Romanovich invited him to Volhynia, returned his wife, and relinquished control of Kiev and he gave Lutsk to Rostislav, evidently, in compensation for taking away Halych.[2]
     "Meanwhile, the Tatars sacked Kiev which fell on December 6, 1240.[2] On learning Kiev's fate, Mikhail Vsevolodovich and his family withdrew from Volhynia and for the second time imposed himself on Conrad of Mazovia's graces.[2] In the spring of 1241, Mikhail Vsevolodovich went home to Kiev and gave Chernigov to Rostislav.[2]
     "Boyar greed gave Rostislav the pretext for reviving his quest for Halych where the local magnates acknowledged Daniil Romanovich (his uncle) as their prince, but appropriated authority to themselves.[2] In 1241, Rostislav marshaled the princes of Bolokhoveni, and besieged Bakota which was an important purveyor of salt.[2] When he failed to take the city, he withdrew to Chernigov, but later he redirected his attack against the more important towns of Halych and Przemy?l.[2] He had strong support from the local boyars who cajoled the townsmen of Halych itself into capitulating without a fight.[2] After occupying Halych, Rostislav made prince Konstantin Vladimirovich Ryazansky the ruler of Przemy?l.[2] The bishops of the only two eparchies in Halych also supported Rostislav.[2]
     "However, his uncles (Daniil and Vasil’ko Romanovich) retaliated by marching against Halych; unable to withstand their attack, Rostislav fled with his supporters and sought sanctuary in Shchekotov.[2] His uncles pursued him, but on learning that the Tatars had left Hungary and were returning via Halych, they abandoned the chase.[2] As the Tatars passed through Halych, they routed Rostislav's force at a location which the chronicler identifies as a small pine forest; he therefore fled again to the Hungarians.[2]
His struggle for Halych
     "Béla IV, who had returned home from Dalmatia after May in 1242, approved Rostislav's marriage to his daughter, Anna.[2] The king was seeking to organize a new defensive system by creating client states to the south and east of Hungary, and in his search for a vassal whom he could appoint to Halych, he chose Rostislav.[2]
     "On learning that Béla IV had given his daughter in marriage to Rostislav, his father believed that his efforts to form an alliance with the Árpád dynasty had finally been realized.[2] Mikhail Vsevolodovich therefore rode to Hungary expecting to negotiate the agreements that normally accompanied such an alliance.[2] However, Béla IV rebuffed him, and he, greatly angered also by his son, returned to Chernigov and disowned Rostislav.[2]
     "Acting as his father-in-law's agent, Rostislav made two unsuccessful attacks of Halych.[2] Sometime in 1244, he led a Hungarian force against Przemy?l; Daniil Romanovich, however, marshaled his troops and routed the attackers making Rostislav flee to Hungary.[2] In the following year, Rostislav recruited many Hungarians and Poles and launched an attack against Jaros?aw north of Przemy?l; on August 17, 1245, his uncle, with Cuman help, annihilated the enemy, and Rostislav had to flee again to Hungary.[2]
In this battle, where the horse of our most liked son-in-law, the prince /Rostislav/, who have already been mentioned several times, was killed, Master L?rinc, following steadily the passion of customary faithfulness and thinking more of the life of the above-mentioned prince than his own life, gave the horse he was riding to the prince mentioned above, and he flung himself at the thick lines of the enemy exposing himself to streams of perils, which have been proven to us by the narration of the above-mentioned prince and the reports of our many followers and other trustworthy men. —?King Béla’s Charter of April 13, 1264 to L?rinc, Judge of the Royal Court and Count of Moson[6]

     "After his defeat, Rostislav never returned to Halych.[2]
Ban of Slavonia and Duke of Macsó
     "Rostislav received land grants from his father-in-law in Hungary, and thus he became the lord of the royal possessions of Bereg and the Castle of Füzér.[4] He was mentioned among the dignitaries of Béla IV as Ban of Slavonia in 1247, and from 1254 onward he was mentioned as the Duke of Macsó (in Latin, dux de Macho).[1] The Banate of Macsó originally centered around the river Kolubara, but later it also included Belgrade (in Hungarian, Nándorfehérvár) and by 1256, if not earlier, Brani?evo (in Hungarian, Barancs).[5]
     "In 1255, a peace between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Bulgarian Empire was sealed, and Tsar Michael of Bulgaria married Rostislav's daughter.[5] In 1256, Rostislav mediated a peace between his son-in-law and Emperor Theodore II of Nicaea.[5]
His struggle for Bulgaria
     "Late in 1256 (probably in December), a group of boyars, who had decided to kill Tsar Michael and replace him with his first cousin, Koloman, attacked the former, who died soon afterwards from his wounds.[5] To further his claims, Koloman II forcibly married Michael's widow, the daughter of Rostislav, but he could not consolidate power and was killed almost immediately.[5] To protect his daughter, Rostislav now, early in 1257, invaded Bulgaria; it seems he was using her as an excuse to acquire the Bulgarian throne for himself.[5] Rostislav appeared at the gates of T?rnovo and recovered his daughter; though it is sometimes stated that he briefly obtained T?rnovo, but it seems that he probably never actually gained possession of the city.[5]
     "Having failed to take T?rnovo, Rostislav retreated to Vidin where he established himself, taking the title of Tsar of Bulgaria, and the Hungarians recognized him with this title.[5] Meanwhile, in southeastern Bulgaria, Mitso (a relative of Ivan Asen II) was proclaimed tsar, but the boyars who were holding T?rnovo elected one of their number, Constantine Tikh as tsar.[5]
     "Shortly afterwards, Rostislav led a large portion of his troops off to Bohemia in order to assist his father-in-law against King Ottokar II of Bohemia.[5] Thus his Vidin province became undermanned, and the situation was ideal for Tsar Constantine Tikh who attacked the token forces left behind in Vidin and regained not only the city but the whole province to the borders of the province of Brani?evo.[5]
     "As soon as the Hungarians concluded peace with the Bohemians in March 1261, they, led by Stephen V of Hungary (co-king and Rostislav's brother-in-law) attacked Bulgaria.[5] They first overran the Vidin province and forced Tsar Constantine Tikh to withdraw his troops from it.[5] As a result of Hungary's action, Rostislav was restored to the position he had held prior to Constantine Tikh's attack on him in 1260.[5] Whether further Bulgarian territory east of Vidin (e.g., Lom) was taken by the Hungarians or Rostislav is not known.[5]
     "When he died, his lands were divided between two sons: his part of Bosnia went to his elder son Michael, while, Macsó went to his younger son, Béla; the immediate fate of Vidin is not known.[5]

; Per Genealogics:
     "Rosztiszlo was born sometime between 1212 and 1225, the eldest son of Michail 'the Saint', grand duke of Kiev, and Marija Romanowna of Halicz. The Russian annals mention him for the first time in 1229 when the Novgorodians invited his father to be their prince.
     "Rosztiszlo underwent the ritual hair-cutting ceremony _(postrig)_ in the Saint Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod on 19 May 1230, and his father installed him on the throne. The _postrig_ conferred on Rosztiszlo the official status of prince of Novgorod and thus he ruled Novgorod as a fully fledged prince after the ceremony. Rosztiszlo, in keeping with his father's policy, continued to pass legislation favouring the Novgorodians.
     "In September 1230 a frost destroyed the crops in the Novgorod district, causing a great famine. Novgorodians opposed to his father's rule took advantage of the calamity to foment unrest, and they incited the townsmen to plunder the court of _posadnik_ (mayor) Vodovik who was his father's man. Although the _posadnik_ forced the rival boyars to swear oaths of allegiance on 6 November, a month later, when he and Rosztiszlo visited Torzhok, the Novgorodians looted Vodovik's court and those of his supporters. Shortly afterwards Rosztiszlo was forced to flee to his father. The Novgorodians considered themselves free to invite another prince, and they summoned Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich of Vladimir, who came on 30 December.
     "Towards the end of September 1235 Rosztiszlo's father Michail occupied Halicz, whose prince (his brother-in-law and thus Rosztiszlo's maternal uncle) Daniil Romanowitsch had fled from the principality. In the spring of 1236 Rosztiszlo accompanied his father in attacking the principality of Volhynia which was still under the rule of Daniil Romanowitsch. However, in the meantime the Cumans plundered the Galician lands, forcing Michail to abandon his campaign.
     "At the beginning of the summer of 1236 Daniil Romanowitsch and his brother Vasilko rallied their troops to march against Michail and Rosztiszlo, but they barricaded themselves in Halicz with their retinue, the local militia, and a contingent of Hungarians sent by King Béla IV, and their opponents had to withdraw.
     "After the Hungarian troops had departed, Daniil Romanowitsch tried again, and Michail attempted to placate him by giving him Przemysl. Shortly afterwards Rosztiszlo was appointed to rule Halicz by his father, who wished to depart for Kiev which had been occupied by Yaroslav Vsvelodovich. After Michail had reoccupied Kiev, he and Rosztiszlo attacked Przemysl and took it back from Daniil Romanowitsch.
     "Rosztiszlo retained the loyalty of the Galician boyars, but he was not as capable a military commander as his father. Around 1237 he rode against the Lithuanians who had pillaged the lands of his father's maternal uncle Konrad I, duke of Masovia, who had been his ally against Daniil Romanowitsch. He also took all the boyars and horsemen with him and only a skeleton force remained behind to defend Halicz. The people of Halicz thereupon summoned Daniil and installed him as prince. On hearing the news, Rosztiszlo fled to Béla IV, king of Hungary.
     "In the winter of 1237 the Tatar troops led by Batu Khan devastated Ryazan; by 1240 almost all the lands of Chernigov, Perejaslawl, Ryazan, and Suzdalia lay in ruins. During the first half of 1240 Michail defied Batu Khan by putting to death his envoys, who had been seeking to coax him into submitting to Batu. The only allies to whom he could turn for aid were the Hungarians and the Poles, and therefore he fled to Hungary. He attempted to arrange a marriage for Rosztiszlo with the king's daughter Anna, but Béla saw no advantage to forming an alliance and evicted the two princes from Hungary. Rosztiszlo and his father took refuge in Masovia as guests of Konrad I, and Michail decided that the expedient course of action was to seek reconciliation with Daniil Romanowitsch, who had been controlling his domains by that time and holding Rosztiszlo's mother (his own sister) captive. Michail sent envoys to his brother-in-law admitting that he had sinned against him on many occasions by waging war and by reneging on his promises. He pledged never again to antagonise Daniil and forswore making any future attempts on Halicz. Daniiel invited him to Volhynia, returned his wife, and relinquished control of Kiev, and he gave Lutsk to Rosztiszlo, evidently in compensation for taking away Halicz.
     "Meanwhile, the Tatars sacked Kiev, which fell on 6 December 1240. On learning Kiev's fate, Michail and his family withdrew from Volhynia and for the second time imposed themselves on Konrad of Masovia's hospitality. In the spring of 1241 Michail went home to Kiev and gave Chernigov to Rosztiszlo.
     "Boyar greed gave Rosztiszlo the pretext for reviving his quest for Halicz, where the local magnates acknowledged his uncle Daniil Romanowitsch as their prince, but appropriated authority to themselves. In 1241 Rosztiszlo marshalled the princes of Bolokhov and besieged Bakota, an important purveyor of salt. When he failed to take the city he withdrew to Chernigov, but later he redirected his attack against the more important towns of Halicz and Przemysl. He had strong support from the local boyars who cajoled the townsmen of Halicz itself into capitulating without a fight. After occupying Halicz, Rosztiszlo made Prince Konstantin Vladimirovich Ryazansky the ruler of Przemysl. The bishops of the only two dioceses in Halicz also supported Rosztiszlo.
     "However his uncles Daniil and Vasilko Romanowitsch retaliated by marching against Halicz; unable to withstand their attack, Rosztiszlo fled with his supporters and sought sanctuary in Shchetkotov. His uncles pursued him, but on learning that the Tatars had left Hungary and were returning via Halicz, they abandoned the chase. As the Tatars passed through Halicz, they routed Rosztiszlo's force at a location which the chronicler identifies as a small pine forest; he then fled again to the Hungarians.
     "Béla IV, who had returned home from Dalmatia after May 1242, approved Rosztiszlo's marriage to his daughter Anna. The king was seeking to organise a new defensive system by creating client states to the south and east of Hungary, and in his search for a vassal whom he could appoint to Halicz, he chose Rosztiszlo. He and Anna had two sons and three daughters, but only their daughters Kunigunde and Erzsebet are recorded as having progeny.
     "On learning that Béla IV had given his daughter in marriage to Rosztiszlo, his father believed that his efforts to form an alliance with the Arpad dynasty had finally been realised, Michail therefore rode to Hungary expecting to negotiate the agreements that normally accompanied such an alliance. However, Béla IV rebuffed him and he returned to Chernigov, angry with what he saw as Rosztiszlo's disloyalty.
     "Acting as his father-in-law's agent, Rosztiszlo made two unsuccessful attacks on Halicz. Sometime in 1244 he led a Hungarian force against Przemysl; however Daniil Romanowitsch marshalled his troop and routed the attackers, forcing Rosztiszlo to flee back to Hungary. In the following year Rosztiszlo recruited many Hungarians and Poles and launched an attack against Jaroslaw north of Przemysl; on 17 August 1245 his uncle, with Cuman help, annihilated Rosztiszlo, who again had to flee to Hungary. After this defeat, Rosztiszlo never returned to Halicz.
     "Rosztiszlo received land grants from his father-in-law in Hungary, and thus he became the lord of the royal possessions of Bereg and the castle of Füzér. He was mentioned among the dignitaries of Béla IV as ban of Slavonia in 1247, and from 1254 onward he was mentioned as the duke of Macva (in Latin, _dux de Macho_). The banate of Macva originally centred on the river Kolubara, but later it also included Belgrade (Nándorfehérvár in Hungarian) and by 1256, if not earlier, Branicevo (Barancs in Hungarian).
     "In 1255 a peace between the kingdom of Hungary and the Bulgarian empire was sealed, and Mihaly II Asen, tsar of Bulgaria, married Rosztiszlo's daughter Erzebet. In 1256 Rosztiszlo mediated a peace between his son-in-law and Theodoros II Dukas Laskaris, emperor of Byzantium.
     "Late in 1256 (probably in December) a group of boyars, who had decided to kill Tsar Mihaly and replace him with his first cousin Koloman II, attacked Mihaly who died soon afterwards from his wounds. To further his claims, Koloman forcibly married Mihaly's widow Erzsebet, but he could not consolidate power and was killed almost immediately. To protect his daughter, Rosztiszlo early in 1257 invaded Bulgaria; it seems he was using her as an excuse to acquire the Bulgarian throne for himself. Rosztiszlo appeared at the gates of Tarnovo and recovered his daughter; though it is sometimes stated that he briefly obtained Tarnovo, it seems that he probably never actually gained possession of the city.
     "Having failed to take Tarnovo, Rosztiszlo retreated to Vidin where he established himself, taking the title of Tsar of Bulgaria, and the Hungarians recognised him with this title. Meanwhile, in southeastern Bulgaria, Mitso (a relative of Mihaly's father Iwan Asen II) was proclaimed tsar, but the boyars who were holding Tarnovo elected one of their number, Constantine Tikh as tsar.
     "Shortly afterwards Rosztiszlo led a large portion of his troops to Bohemia in order to assist his father-in-law Béla IV against Przemysl Ottokar II, king of Bohemia. Thus his Vidin province became undermanned, and the situation was ideal for Tsar Constantine Tikh who attacked the token forces left behind in Vidin and gained not only the city but the whole province up to the borders of the province of Branicevo.
     "As soon as the Hungarians concluded peace with the Bohemians in March 1261, they attacked Bulgaria, led by Stephan V of Hungary (his father Béla IV's co-king and Rosztiszlo's brother-in-law). They first overran the Vidin province and forced Tsar Constantine Tikh to withdraw his troops from it. As a result of Hungary's action, Rosztiszlo was restored to the position he had held prior to Constantine Tikh's attack on him in 1260. Whether further Bulgarian territory east of Vidin was taken by the Hungarians or Rosztiszlo is not known. In October 1261 Rosztiszlo's daughter Kunigunde married Przemysl Ottokar II, with whom she had progeny including Wenceslas II, the future king of Bohemia and Poland.
     "When Rosztiszlo died about 1264, his lands were divided between his two sons: his part of Bosnia went to the elder son Michael, while Macva went to his younger son Béla; the immediate fate of Vidin is not known."14

     "ROSTISLAV Mikhailovich, son of MIKHAIL Vsevolodich Grand Prince of Kiev & his wife Maria Romanovna of Galich ([1225]-1263). The Novgorod Chronicle records that he was appointed Prince of Novgorod in 1229 by his father but was expelled 8 Dec 1230[329]. Grand Prince of Kiev 1231/1240. Prince of Galich 1236/1238. After the Mongol invasion, he sought refuge with Bela IV King of Hungary, married the king's daughter, and was appointed Ban of Ma?va. He mediated the peace between Bulgaria and the empire of Nikaia in 1256[330]. On the death of his son-in-law Kalojan II Tsar of Bulgaria in 1258, Rostislav invaded Bulgaria from neighbouring Ma?va, ostensibly to protect the interests of his daughter, who was handed to him at Trnovo. He retreated to Vidin where he assumed the title ROSTISLAV Tsar of the Bulgarians, and was recognised as such by Hungary[331]. His forces were temporarily expelled from Vidin province by his rival Konstantin Tih, during Rostislav's temporary absence helping his father-in-law Bela IV King of Hungary in his war with Bohemia, but he was restored by Hungarian troops which expelled Konstantin from the area in 1261[332]. On his death, his lands were divided between his sons, Mikhail taking his part of Bosnia and Bela taking Ma?va.
     "m (1243) ANNA [Agnes] of Hungary, daughter of BÉLA IV King of Hungary & his wife Maria Laskarina of Nikaia ([1226/27]-). Her parentage and marriage are indicated by Georgius Akropolites who names "Rosum Urum…Ungariæ regis generum" as father-in-law of "Bulgarorum…princeps"[333]. The name of the wife of Rostislav is confirmed by the Annales Polonorum recording the marriage in 1265 of their daughter Gryfina, in a later passage specifying that she was daughter of "ducis Roczislay et…Anna"[334]. A charter dated 15 Jul 1264 records the confirmation by "ipsius patris regis Belæ IV" of a donation by "Agnes, viduæ post Radislaum ducem Galitiæ, ducissæ Galitiæ, de Bosna et de Mazo, ac Michaeli et Belæ natis eius"[335]. Baumgarten names the wife of Prince Rostislav and gives her origin but only cites one secondary source in support[336]."
