  === Compton's Encyclopedia (via America Onli ===
  Compton's Encyclopedia (via America Online, 1995): CONRAD II (990?-1039). Europe in the 11th century had no nation-states. It was a collection of hundreds of political units governed by kings, princes, dukes, and other nobles. Great parts of the Continent, including Germany and Italy, were nominally united in the Holy Roman Empire, but the separate parts were always ready to rebel. This was the world into which Conrad II, the son of Count Henry of Speyer, was born in about 990. During his short reign as emperor, from 1027 to 1039, Conrad imposed a temporary unity on his domain. He also proved that a strong monarchy was possible in Germany, though Germany would not really be united until the 19th century. Conrad was elected king of the Germans in 1024, succeeding Henry II. Three years later, on Easter Day in 1027, he was crowned emperor by the pope at Rome. He proved himself an able and just ruler, but most of his reign was spent in putting down real and threatened rebellions. In 1027 he put down a rebellion in Germany. The next year he fought Poland, and in 1032 he inherited Burgundy, though he was opposed by the local princes. From 1036 to 1038 he was in Italy, where he defeated an uprising led by the archbishop of Milan and placed into power princes who favored his rule. He died in Utrecht, Germany, on June 4, 1039. The ruling house that Conrad founded, known as the Salian Dynasty, lasted until 1125. He was succeeded as king and emperor by his son, grandson, and great grandson--all named Henry. - - - - - - Conrad II was crowned at Rome 03-26-1027; he greatly strengthened Germany. He founded the Salian or Franconian dynasty. Although a minor nobleman, he was elected because he descends from Otto I and his predeccesor (Henry II) died without an heir. Conrad II was firm and ruthless in reinstituting the empire in Burgundy, Italy and Poland. His policies established feudalism in the place of centralized power; he dominated the church through simony and lay investiture . Still, Conrad II built the Speyer Cathedral in which he is buried. He was Emperor of the West.

"Stephen was a member of the âArpâad dynasty and son of the supremeMagyar chieftain Gâeza. He was born a pagan but was baptized andreared as a Christian, and in 996 he married Gisela, daughter of DukeHenry II of Bavaria. After the death of his father (997), Stephencombated an insurrection led by his older cousin, Koppâany, whoclaimed the throne in accordance with âArpâad succession rules.Stephen defeated Koppâany at Veszprâem (998) and had him executed as apagan. "On Christmas Day, AD 1000, Stephen was anointed king of Hungary.According to tradition, he received from Pope Sylvester II a crownthat is now held as a national treasure in Hungary (see SaintStephen's Crown). His coronation signified Hungary's entry into thefamily of European Christian nations. With the exception of aninvasion by the Holy Roman emperor Conrad II in 1030 and minordisputes with Poland and Bulgaria, Stephen's reign was peaceful. "Stephen organized his kingdom on German models. He founded bishopricsand abbeys, made the building of churches mandatory, and establishedthe practice of tithing. He promoted agriculture, safeguarded privateproperty with strict laws, and organized a standing army. While aruling class was created, the institution of slavery was leftvirtually untouched. Stephen also opened the country to strong foreigninfluences, while saving it from German conquest. He treated thechurch as the principal pillar of his authority, dispatchingmissionaries throughout his realm." Stephen is Hungary's patron saint. Although his feast day is August16, Hungarians celebrate the translation of his relics to Buda on August 20.

Since the survival of the monarchy was no longer primarily dependent on a compact between sovereign and territorial nobles, it was henceforth invulnerable to prolonged rebellion on their part. Conrad was the son of Count Henry of Speyer, who had been passed over in his inheritances in favour of a younger brother. Henry was descended, through the marriage of his great-grandfather Conrad the Red to a daughter of Emperor Otto, from the Saxon house. Left poor, Conrad was brought up by the Bishop of Worms and did not receive much of a formal education; but, conscious of the deprivations suffered by him and his father, he matured early. Prudent and firm, he often displayed great chivalry as well as a strong sense of justice, and he was determined to gain the status that fortune had denied him. In 1016 he married Gisela, the widowed duchess of Swabia and a descendant of Charlemagne. Conrad, however, was distantly related to Gisela. When strict canonists took exception to the marriage, Emperor Henry II, who was jealous of the growth of Conrad's personal influence, used their findings as an excuse for forcing Conrad into temporary exile. The two men later became reconciled, and, by the time Henry II died, in 1024, Conrad presented himself to the electoral assembly of the princes at Kamba on the Rhine as a candidate for the succession. After prolonged debates, the majority voted for him, and he was crowned king in Mainz on Sept. 8, 1024. Intelligent and genial, Conrad was also fortunate. Soon after his election, even the minority opposition was persuaded to pay their homage. Early in the following year, the sudden death of Boleslaw I the Brave of Poland, a tributary to the German monarchy who had styled himself an independent king, spared Conrad the necessity of military interference. In Germany a rebelli on fomented by nobles and relatives of Conrad was joined by many lay princes of Lombardy; and, although the Italian bishops paid homage at a court in Constance in June 1025, the lay princes sought to elect William of Aquitaine as antiking. But, when the King of France refused his support, the rebellion collapsed. Early in 1026, Conrad was able to go to Milan, where Archbishop Ariberto crowned him king of Italy. After brief fighting, Conrad overcame the opposition of some towns and nobles and managed to reach Rome, where he was crowned emperor by Pope John XIX on Easter 1027. When a renewed rebellion in Germany forced him to return, he subdued the rebels and imposed severe penalties on them, not sparing members of his own family. Conrad not only showed strength and incorruptible justice in maintaining his power but also displayed enterprise in legislation. He formally confirmed the popular legal traditions of Saxony and issued a new set of feudal constitutions for Lombardy. On Easter Sunday 1028, at an imperial court in Aachen, he had his son Henry elected and anointed king. In 1036 Henry was married to Kunigunde, the daughter of King Canute of England. Eventually, he became inseparable from his father and acted as his chief counsellor. Thus, the succession was virtually assured, and the future of the new house looked bright. In the meantime, Conrad had been compelled, after all, to campaign against Poland in 1028. After severe fighting, Mieszko-Boleslaw's son and heir-was forced to make peace and surrender lands that Conrad's predecessor had lost. Even so, Conrad had to continue to campaign in the east, and in 1035 he subdued the heathen Liutitians. Although occupied intermittently in the east, Conrad was able to gain political triumphs in the west. Earlier, the childless king Rudolf of Burgundy had offered the succession to his crown to Emperor Henry II, who, however, died before Rudolf. Thus, when Rudolf died in 1032, he left his kingdom to Conrad over the opp osition of the Burgundian princes, who two years later, on Aug. 1, 1034, paid homage to Conrad at Zürich. Although Conrad's relations with his son remained close, King Henry at times showed independent initiative. He once concluded a separate peace with King Stephen of Hungary and on another occasion gave his oath to Duke Adalbero of Carinthia never to side against him. Thus, when Conrad fell out with Adalbero in 1035, Henry's oath severely strained relations between father and son. Conrad managed to overcome his son's partisanship only by humbling himself before him. In the end, Conrad's determination prevailed, and Adalbero was duly punished. In 1036 Conrad appeared for a second time in Italy, where he proceeded with equal vigour against his old ally, Archbishop Aribert of Milan. Italy was rent by dissensions between the great princes, who, together with their vassals-the capitanei-had suppressed both knights and the burghers of the cities, the valvassores. Conrad upheld the rights of the valvassores, and, when Aribert, claiming to be the peer of the emperor, rejected Conrad's legislative interference, Conrad had him arrested. Aribert managed to escape, however, and succeeded in raising a rebellion in Milan. Through luck and skillful diplomacy, Conrad succeeded in isolating Aribert from his Lombard supporters as well as from his friends in Lorraine. Conrad was thus able to proceed in 1038 to southern Italy, where he installed friendly princes in Salerno and Anversa and appointed the German Richer as abbot of Monte Cassino. On his return to Germany the same year along the Adriatic coast, his army succumbed to a midsummer epidemic in which both his daughter-in-law and his stepson died. Conrad himself reached Germany safely and held several important courts in Solothurn (where his son Henry was invested with the kingdom of Burgundy), in Strassburg, and in Goslar. He fell ill during the following year (1039) and died.

  He was elected king in 1024 and crowned emperor of the Holy Roman Empire on March 26, 1027, the first member of the Salian Dynasty.
  During his reign, he proved that the German monarchy had become a viable institution. Survival of the monarchy was no longer dependent on contracts between sovereign and territorial nobles.
  Conrad grew up poor by the standards of the nobility and was raised by the bishop of Worms. He was reputed to be prudent and firm out of consciousness of deprivation. In 1016, he married Gisela of Swabia, a widowed duchess. Both parties claimed descent from Charlemagne and were thus distantly related. Strict canonists took exception to the marriage, and Emperor Henry II used these facts to force Conrad into temporary exile. They became reconciled, and upon Henry's death in 1024, Conrad appeared as a candidate before the electoral assembly of princes at Kamba in the Rhineland. He was elected by the majority and was crowned king in Mainz on September 8, 1024.
  The Italian bishops paid homage at Conrad's court at Constance in June 1025, but lay princes sought to elect William III (V), Duke of Aquitaine, as king instead. However early in 1026 Conrad went to Milan, where archbishop Ariberto crowned him king of Italy. After overcoming some opposition of the towns Conrad reached Rome, where Pope John XIX crowned him emperor on Easter, 1027.
  He formally confirmed the popular legal traditions of Saxony and issued new constitutions for Lombardy. In 1028 at Aachen he had his son Henry elected and anointed king of Germany. Henry married Cunigunde or Gunhilda, daughter of King Canute the Great of England, Denmark and Norway. This was an arrangement that Conrad had made many years ago, when he gave Canute the Great parts of northern Germany to administer. Henry, the later Emperor Henry III, became chief counsellor of his father.
  Conrad campaigned against Poland in 1028 and forced Mieszko II, son and heir of Boleslaus I, to make peace and return land that Boleslaw I had conquered from the empire during his father's reign. At the death of Henry II the bold and rebellious Duke of Poland Mieszko II had tried to throw off vassalage, but then submitted and swore to be emperor Conrad's faithful vassal. Mieszko II quit being self-anointed king and returned to being duke of Poland.
  When Rudolph III, King of Burgundy died on February 2, 1032, he bequeathed his kingdom, which combined two earlier kingdoms of Burgundy, to Conrad. Despite some opposition, the Burgundian and Provencal nobles paid homage to Conrad in Zürich in 1034. This kingdom of Burgundy, which under Conrad's successors would become known as the Kingdom of Arles, corresponded to most of the southeastern quarter of modern France and included western Switzerland, the Franche-Comté and Dauphiné. It did not include the smaller Duchy of Burgundy to the north, ruled by a cadet branch of the Capetian King of France. (Piecemeal over the next centuries most of the former Kingdom of Arles was incorporated into France - but King of Arles remained one of the Holy Roman Emperor's subsidiary titles until the dissolution of the Empire in 1806.)
  Conrad upheld the rights of the valvassores (knights and burghers of the cities) of Italy against Archbishop Aribert of Milan and the local nobles. The nobles as vassal lords and the bishop had conspired to rescind rights from the burghers. With skillful diplomacy and luck Conrad restored order. He went on to southern Italy, to Salerno and Anversa and appointed Richer from Germany as abbot of Monte Cassino.
  During the return trip to Germany an epidemic broke out amongs the troops. Conrad's daughter-in-law and stepson died. Conrad himself returned safely and held several important courts in Solothurn, Strasbourg and in Goslar. His son Henry was invested with the kingdom of Burgundy.
  A year later in 1039 Conrad fell ill and died in Utrecht.

  Compton's Encyclopedia (via America Online, 1995): CONRAD II (990?-1039). Europe in the 11th century had no nation-states. It was a collection of hundreds of political units governed by kings, princes, dukes, and other nobles. Great parts of the Continent, including Germany and Italy, were nominally united in the Holy Roman Empire, but the separate parts were always ready to rebel. This was the world into which Conrad II, the son of Count Henry of Speyer, was born in about 990. During his short reign as emperor, from 1027 to 1039, Conrad imposed a temporary unity on his domain. He also proved that a strong monarchy was possible in Germany, though Germany would not really be united until the 19th century. Conrad was elected king of the Germans in 1024, succeeding Henry II. Three years later, on Easter Day in 1027, he was crowned emperor by the pope at Rome. He proved himself an able and just ruler, but most of his reign was spent in putting down real and threatened rebellions. In 1027 he put down a rebellion in Germany. The next year he fought Poland, and in 1032 he inherited Burgundy, though he was opposed by the local princes. From 1036 to 1038 he was in Italy, where he defeated an uprising led by the archbishop of Milan and placed into power princes who favored his rule. He died in Utrecht, Germany, on June 4, 1039. The ruling house that Conrad founded, known as the Salian Dynasty, lasted until 1125. He was succeeded as king and emperor by his son, grandson, and great grandson--all named Henry. - - - - - - Conrad II was crowned at Rome 03-26-1027; he greatly strengthened Germany. He founded the Salian or Franconian dynasty. Although a minor nobleman, he was elected because he descends from Otto I and his predeccesor (Henry II) died without an heir. Conrad II was firm and ruthless in reinstituting the empire in Burgundy, Italy and Poland. His policies established feudalism in the place of centralized power; he dominated the church through simony and lay investiture . Still, Conrad II built the Speyer Cathedral in which he is buried. He was Emperor of the West.

  From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "Stephen I:" "canonized 1083; feast day August 16" "also called SAINT STEPHEN, Hungarian SZENT ISTVâAN, original nameVAJK, first king of Hungary, who is considered to be the founder ofthe Hungarian state and one of the most renowned figures in Hungarianhistory. "Stephen was a member of the âArpâad dynasty and son of the supremeMagyar chieftain Gâeza. He was born a pagan but was baptized andreared as a Christian, and in 996 he married Gisela, daughter of DukeHenry II of Bavaria. After the death of his father (997), Stephencombated an insurrection led by his older cousin, Koppâany, whoclaimed the throne in accordance with âArpâad succession rules.Stephen defeated Koppâany at Veszprâem (998) and had him executed as apagan. "On Christmas Day, AD 1000, Stephen was anointed king of Hungary.According to tradition, he received from Pope Sylvester II a crownthat is now held as a national treasure in Hungary (see SaintStephen's Crown). His coronation signified Hungary's entry into thefamily of European Christian nations. With the exception of aninvasion by the Holy Roman emperor Conrad II in 1030 and minordisputes with Poland and Bulgaria, Stephen's reign was peaceful. "Stephen organized his kingdom on German models. He founded bishopricsand abbeys, made the building of churches mandatory, and establishedthe practice of tithing. He promoted agriculture, safeguarded privateproperty with strict laws, and organized a standing army. While aruling class was created, the institution of slavery was leftvirtually untouched. Stephen also opened the country to strong foreigninfluences, while saving it from German conquest. He treated thechurch as the principal pillar of his authority, dispatchingmissionaries throughout his realm." Stephen is Hungary's patron saint. Although his feast day is August16, Hungarians celebrate the translation of his relics to Buda on August 20.

  He was elected king in 1024 and crowned emperor of the Holy Roman Empire on March 26, 1027, the first member of the Salian Dynasty.
  During his reign, he proved that the German monarchy had become a viable institution. Survival of the monarchy was no longer dependent on contracts between sovereign and territorial nobles.
  Conrad grew up poor by the standards of the nobility and was raised by the bishop of Worms. He was reputed to be prudent and firm out of consciousness of deprivation. In 1016, he married Gisela of Swabia, a widowed duchess. Both parties claimed descent from Charlemagne and were thus distantly related. Strict canonists took exception to the marriage, and Emperor Henry II used these facts to force Conrad into temporary exile. They became reconciled, and upon Henry's death in 1024, Conrad appeared as a candidate before the electoral assembly of princes at Kamba in the Rhineland. He was elected by the majority and was crowned king in Mainz on September 8, 1024.
  The Italian bishops paid homage at Conrad's court at Constance in June 1025, but lay princes sought to elect William III (V), Duke of Aquitaine, as king instead. However early in 1026 Conrad went to Milan, where archbishop Ariberto crowned him king of Italy. After overcoming some opposition of the towns Conrad reached Rome, where Pope John XIX crowned him emperor on Easter, 1027.
  He formally confirmed the popular legal traditions of Saxony and issued new constitutions for Lombardy. In 1028 at Aachen he had his son Henry elected and anointed king of Germany. Henry married Cunigunde or Gunhilda, daughter of King Canute the Great of England, Denmark and Norway. This was an arrangement that Conrad had made many years ago, when he gave Canute the Great parts of northern Germany to administer. Henry, the later Emperor Henry III, became chief counsellor of his father.
  Conrad campaigned against Poland in 1028 and forced Mieszko II, son and heir of Boleslaus I, to make peace and return land that Boleslaw I had conquered from the empire during his father's reign. At the death of Henry II the bold and rebellious Duke of Poland Mieszko II had tried to throw off vassalage, but then submitted and swore to be emperor Conrad's faithful vassal. Mieszko II quit being self-anointed king and returned to being duke of Poland.
  When Rudolph III, King of Burgundy died on February 2, 1032, he bequeathed his kingdom, which combined two earlier kingdoms of Burgundy, to Conrad. Despite some opposition, the Burgundian and Provencal nobles paid homage to Conrad in Zürich in 1034. This kingdom of Burgundy, which under Conrad's successors would become known as the Kingdom of Arles, corresponded to most of the southeastern quarter of modern France and included western Switzerland, the Franche-Comté and Dauphiné. It did not include the smaller Duchy of Burgundy to the north, ruled by a cadet branch of the Capetian King of France. (Piecemeal over the next centuries most of the former Kingdom of Arles was incorporated into France - but King of Arles remained one of the Holy Roman Emperor's subsidiary titles until the dissolution of the Empire in 1806.)
  Conrad upheld the rights of the valvassores (knights and burghers of the cities) of Italy against Archbishop Aribert of Milan and the local nobles. The nobles as vassal lords and the bishop had conspired to rescind rights from the burghers. With skillful diplomacy and luck Conrad restored order. He went on to southern Italy, to Salerno and Anversa and appointed Richer from Germany as abbot of Monte Cassino.
  During the return trip to Germany an epidemic broke out amongs the troops. Conrad's daughter-in-law and stepson died. Conrad himself returned safely and held several important courts in Solothurn, Strasbourg and in Goslar. His son Henry was invested with the kingdom of Burgundy.
  A year later in 1039 Conrad fell ill and died in Utrecht.

  Conrad II (the Salian) 1024-1039, continued the general policies of his father, Henry II. He was firm in his dealings with the church in general and relied on the lesser nobles to balance the clergy and magnates. He replaced the clergy in many administration positions. Dukedoms were not regranted as they fell vacant, but were assigned to his son. Conrad weakened the Dukes and got the support of the lessed nobles, but assured the ultimate feudalization of Germany. Conrad's coronation in 1027 was one of the most brilliant in Rome, witnessed by Canute the Great and Rudolf III.

The year of his birth is uncertain, but many details of his life suggest that he was born in, or after, 975, in Esztergom. At his birth, he was given the pagan name Vajk. The date of his baptism is unknown. He was the only son of Grand Prince Géza and his wife, Sarolt, who was descended from a prominent family of gyulas. Although both of his parents were baptized, Stephen was the first member of his family to become a devout Christian. He married Gisela of Bavaria, a scion of the imperial Ottonian dynasty. After succeeding his father in 997, Stephen had to fight for the throne against his relative, Koppány, who was supported by large numbers of pagan warriors. He defeated Koppány with the assistance of foreign knights including Vecelin, Hont and Pázmány, and native lords. He was crowned on 25 December 1000 or 1 January 1001 with a crown sent by Pope Sylvester II. In a series of wars against semi-independent tribes and chieftains—including the Black Hungarians and his uncle, Gyula the Younger—he unified the Carpathian Basin. He protected the independence of his kingdom by forcing the invading troops of Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor, to withdraw from Hungary in 1030. Stephen established at least one archbishopric, six bishoprics and three Benedictine monasteries, leading the Church in Hungary to develop independently from the archbishops of the Holy Roman Empire. He encouraged the spread of Christianity by meting out severe punishments for ignoring Christian customs. His system of local administration was based on counties organized around fortresses and administered by royal officials. Hungary enjoyed a lasting period of peace during his reign, and became a preferred route for pilgrims and merchants traveling between Western Europe, the Holy Land and Constantinople. He survived all of his children, dying on 15 August 1038, and was buried in his new basilica, built in Székesfehérvár and dedicated to the Holy Virgin. His death was followed by civil wars which lasted for decades. He was canonized by Pope Gregory VII, together with his son, Emeric, and Bishop Gerard of Csanád, in 1083. Stephen is a popular saint in Hungary and neighboring territories. In Hungary, his feast day (celebrated on 20 August) is also a public holiday commemorating the foundation of the state, known as State Foundation Day. Last years (1031–1038) King St Stephen and his son Stephen's biographer, Hartvic, narrates that the King, whose children died one by one in infancy, "restrained the grief over their death by the solace on account of the love of his surviving son",[144] Emeric.[145] However, Emeric was wounded in a hunting accident and died in 1031.[120] After the death of his son, the elderly King could never "fully regain his former health",[146] according to the Illuminated Chronicle.[145] Kristó writes that the picture, which has been preserved in Stephen's legends, of the king keeping the vigils and washing the feet of paupers, is connected with Stephen's last years, following the death of his son.[147] Emeric's death jeopardized his father's achievements in establishing a Christian state,[148] because Stephen's cousin, Vazul—who had the strongest claim to succeed him—was suspected of an inclination towards paganism.[149] According to the Annals of Altaich Stephen disregarded his cousin's claim and nominated his sister's son, the Venetian Peter Orseolo, as his heir.[150] The same source adds that Vazul was captured and blinded, and his three sons, Levente, Andrew and Béla, were expelled from Hungary.[150] Stephen's legends refer to an unsuccessful attempt upon the elderly king's life by members of his court.[147] According to Kristó, the legends refer to a plot in which Vazul participated and his mutilation was a punishment for this act.[147] That Vazul's ears were filled with molten lead was only recorded in later sources, including the Illuminated Chronicle.[147] In the view of some historians, provisions in Stephen's Second Book of Laws on the "conspiracy against the king and the kingdom" imply that the book was promulgated after Vazul's unsuccessful plot against Stephen.[77][151] However, this view has not been universally accepted.[77] Györffy states that the law book was issued, not after 1031, but around 1009.[152] Likewise, the authenticity of the decree on tithes is debated: according to Györffy, it was issued during Stephen's reign, but Berend, Laszlovszky and Szakács argue that it "might be a later addition".[47][152] Stephen died on 15 August 1038.[153] He was buried in the basilica of Székesfehérvár.[150] His reign was followed by a long period of civil wars, pagan uprisings and foreign invasions.[154][155] The instability ended in 1077 when Ladislaus, a grandson of Vazul, ascended the throne.[156] Family See also: Agatha (wife of Edward the Exile) King Stephen and his wife Gisela of Bavaria founding a church at Óbuda from the Chronicon Pictum Stephen married Gisela, a daughter of Duke Henry the Wrangler of Bavaria, who was a nephew of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor.[157] Gisela's mother was Gisela of Burgundy, a member of the Welf dynasty.[21][158] Born around 985, Gisela was younger than her husband, whom she survived.[21][158] She left Hungary in 1045 and died as Abbess of the Niedernburg Abbey in Passau in Bavaria around 1060.[159] Although the Illuminated Chronicle states that Stephen "begot many sons",[160][161] only two of them, Otto and Emeric, are known by name.[66] Otto, who was named after Otto III, seems to have been born before 1002.[66] He died as a child.[161] Emeric, who received the name of his maternal uncle, Emperor Henry II, was born around 1007.[66] His Legend from the early 12th century describes him as a saintly prince who preserved his chastity even during his marriage.[161] According to Györffy, Emeric's wife was a kinswoman of the Byzantine Emperor Basil II.[115] His premature death led to the series of conflicts leading to Vazul's blinding and civil wars.[120][162] Be obedient to me, my son. You are a child, descendant of rich parents, living among soft pillows, who has been caressed and brought up in all kinds of comforts; you have had a part neither in the troubles of the campaigns nor in the various attacks of the pagans in which almost my whole life has been worn away. — Stephen's Admonitions to his son, Emeric[126]

    Note: St. Stephen the Great . Feastday: August 16 Patron of Hungary Died: 1038 St. Stephen the Great (977-1038), was the son of the Magyar chieftain Geza, Stephen succeeded him as leader in 997. Already raised a Christian, in 996 he wed the daughter of Duke Henry II of Bavaria and devoted much of his reign to the promotion of the Christian faith. He gave his patronage to Church leaders, helped build churches, and was a proponent of the rights of the Holy See. Stephen also crushed the pagan counterreaction to Christianity, forcibly converting the so-called Black Hungarians after their failed rebellion. In recognition of his efforts, Stephen was anoited king of Hungary in 1000, receiving the cross and crown from Pope Sylvester II. The remainder of his reign was taken up with the consolidation of the Christian hold on the region. His crown and regalia became beloved symbols of the Hungarian nation, and Stephen was venerated as the ideal Christian king. Canonized in 1083 by Pope St. Gregory VII, he became the patron saint of Hungary.

    Note: Prince Géza & his [first/second] wife had one child: 4. VAJK* (Esztergom [967/75]-Buda 15 Aug 1038, bur Székesfehérvár). The Gesta Hungarorum records the birth in 967 of "Geicha dux [filium] regem Stephanum"[277]. He was baptised as ISTVÁN [Stephen]. He succeeded his father 997 as Prince of Hungary. István received a royal crown from Pope Sylvester II and was crowned ISTVÁN I King of Hungary 25 Dec 1000 or 1 Jan 1001. [ *Note: Vajk, Voyk or Vojk (alternatively spelled Vayk in English, Voicu in Romanian) is an Old Hungarian masculine first name derived from the Turkic Bajik (or Bajiq or Bayk) which meaning is "True Man" or "rich, powerful". ] - see below: VAJK, son of GÉZA Prince of Hungary & his [first wife Sarolt of Transylvania] (Esztergom [967/75]-Buda 15 Aug 1038, bur Székesfehérvár). The Gesta Hungarorum records the birth in 967 of "Geicha dux [filium] regem Stephanum"[293]. The sources are contradictory regarding the identity of his mother. The Gestis Hungarorum Liber names "una…Caroldu et altera Saroltu" as the two daughters of "Geula", specifying that the Sarolt was mother of "sancti regis Stephani"[294]. On the other hand, the Annales Kamenzenses record that "Mesco…rex Polanorum…sororem…Atleydem" married "Iesse rex Ungarie" by whom she was mother of "Stephanum regem Ungarie"[295], and the Breve chronicon Silesiæ names "Adilheidem" as sister of "primo dux Mesco", adding that she married "Jesse rex Ungarie" and that she was the mother of "Stephanum regem Ungarie"[296]. Both these Polish sources record the birth of István in 975, which is more consistent with his having been the son of his father´s first marriage. It is possible that the Hungarian source is more accurate, as the Polish sources may have misrepresented the facts in order to fabricate what could have been seen as a prestigious family relationship between the Polish kings and the first king of Hungary. Thietmar names "Waik brother-in-law of Duke Heinrich of the Bavarians"[297]. He was baptised as ISTVÁN [Stephen]. He succeeded his father in 997 as Prince of Hungary. His succession was challenged on grounds of seniority by his older cousin Koppány, whose rebellion was suppressed at Veszprem in 998 with the help of Bavarian cavalry[298]. Prince István received a royal crown from Pope Sylvester II and was crowned ISTVÁN I King of Hungary 25 Dec 1000 or 1 Jan 1001. He was also granted an apostolic cross, symbolic of the status and authority of the Hungarian church which was responsible to the Pope alone[299]. Rodulfus Glaber records that King István encouraged pilgrims to Jerusalem to cross Hungary rather than travel by sea, making "the road safe for everyone"[300]. "Stephanus…Ungrorum Rex" founded the monastery of St Martin "in monte supra Pannoniam sito" by charter dated 1001[301]. His army attacked his supposed maternal uncle Gyula Prince in Transylvania in 1002 and incorporated Transylvania into his domains[302]. "Stephanus…Hungarorum Rex" donated property to the church of St Emeram "in…castro nostro Nitra" by charter dated to 1006[303]. "Stephanus…Hungarorum Rex" donated property to the church of St Michael, Veszprém by charter dated 1009[304]. "Stephanus…Hungarorum Rex" founded the church of St Adrian, Zala by charter dated 1019, and donated further property by charter dated 1024[305]. His authority was challenged unsuccessfully in south-eastern Hungary by Ohtum [Ajtony], maybe a Khazar prince. King István confirmed the privileged 'freeman' status of the descendants of the original Magyar conquerors who, in return for providing military support, were exempt from taxes other than church tithes[306]. He reformed the Magyar legal system, enacting many new laws particularly relating to ecclesiastical matters. The first Hungarian constitution is dated to 1030[307]. He was the author of a Book of Exhortations [Intelmek könyve] to his son, the first known Hungarian literary work, which emphasises the ecclesiastical basis for the king's authority[308]. "Stephanus…Ungarorum Rex" donated property to the church of St Maurice, Bakonbél by charter dated 1037[309]. The necrology of Tegernsee records the death "XVIII Kal Sep" of "Stephanus rex Ungarorum"[310]. The Chronicon Posoniense records the death in 1038 of "Stephanus rex"[311]. According to the Gesta Hungarorum, he died in the 46th year of his reign and was buried in "Albæ [Székesfehérvár] in ecclesia Beatæ Virginis"[312]. He was canonised in 1083 by the Catholic church (“Szent István”), his feast-day being 4 Nov. m (996) GISELA of Bavaria, daughter of HEINRICH II "der Zänker" Duke of Bavaria and Carinthia [Germany] & his wife Gisela of Burgundy ([985]-Passau 7 May 1065, bur Passau Kloster Niedernburg). Herimannus names "Gisela, huius soror [=Heinricus imperator]" as wife of "Stephano regi Ungariorum"[313]. The Annalista Saxo states that "mater ipsius [Stephanus Ungariorum rex] Gisla" was sister of "Heinrici inperatoris Babenbergensis", when recording her husband's death[314], but clearly the text misstates "mater" for "uxor". This marriage was agreed by Gisela's brother Duke Heinrich IV and István's father to confirm the Hungarian/Bavarian alliance[315]. According to the legends of St Stephen, she founded Veszprém Cathedral and the convent of Veszprémvölgy[316]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that "Kysla regina" sent "comitem Sebus" to blind Vazúl, whom her husband wished to appoint as his successor after the death of their son Imre, and have moulten lead poured into his ears[317]. Bak suggests that Queen Gisela was blamed because of anti-German feeling in the Hungarian court[318]. According to another Hungarian chronicle, Queen Gisela took council from "an evil man named Buda" concerning her husband's plan to name his nephew Vazúl as his heir and sent Buda's son Egiruth to do the deed[319]. After her husband died, she was robbed of her possessions by her husband's successor and left Hungary, becoming abbess of Niedernburg. King István & his wife had [five] children: 1. [OTTO (-young). 2. IMRE [Heinrich] ([1007]-killed Bihar 2 Nov 1031). 3. [BERNÁT . 4. [HEDVIG . 5. [daughter
