Judith
General Notes: JUDITH [Maria/Sophia] ([1054]-14 Mar [1092/96]). The Annales of Berthold record the betrothal in 1059 of "Andreas Pannoniĉ rex
filio suo Salomoni adhuc puero" and "sororem eius [Heinrici regis] minorem Iuditham". The Annales Yburgenses refer to the wife of "Ungariam
[rex] Salemannum" as "regis Heinrici sororem" but do not name her. The Gesta Hungarorum records that King András forced the marriage of "Salomoni regi" and "Henricus imperator
Sophiam suam filiam", specifying that she had earlier been betrothed to "filio regis Franciĉ". Having left Hungary for Germany after her husband was deposed in 1074, she was living in Regensburg when her husband attempted to reclaim the Hungarian throne. She refused to receive him when he returned in 1083. Her second marriage is confirmed by the Chronicĉ Polanorum which records that King W married "sororem imperatoris tertii Henrici, uxorem prius Salemonis Ungariĉ regis". The Chronicon Polono-Silesiacum specifies her name "Iudite". The necrology of Weltenburg records the death "II Id Mar" of "Iudita de Polonia soror Heinrici imperatoris IV". The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeran records the death "II Id Mar" of "Iudita regina". The necrology of Speyer records the death "II Id Mar" of "Iudda regina imperatricis filia". Judith married Salamon Árpádok Magyar Király [King of Hungary] in 1063.1 (Salamon Árpádok Magyar Király [King of Hungary] was born in 1053 1 and died in 1087 1.). The cause of his death was killed in battle. Judith next married Wladyslaw I Herman Polski Ksiaze malopolski, slaski i sandomierski [Duke of Poland, Silesia and Sandomierz], son of Kazimierz I Karol Polski Ksiaze Polski [Duke of Poland] and Dobronega Maria Vladimirovna. (Wladyslaw I Herman Polski Ksiaze malopolski, slaski i sandomierski [Duke of Poland, Silesia and Sandomierz] was born about 1044 1 and died on 4 Jun 1102 1.) |
