Edit Profile
Career
However, modern historians have now discarded her parentage, and state that she was an unknown Hungarian princess. Though opinions vary about the identity of Bolesław I"s second wife, there are a number of researchers who still support the hypothesis of her being the daughter of Géza. The union (probably instigated by Duke Boleslav II of Bohemia, maternal uncle of the Polish prince) produced a son, Bezprym.
Perhaps because of the deterioration in political relations between Poland and Hungary, around 987 Judith was repudiated and sent away.
She probably remained in Poland and died shortly after her divorce. She never become Duchess of Poland because her father-in-law was still alive at the time of her dismissal.
Despite Bezprym was the first-born son, he was deprived of the throne of Poland by his father, who largely favored the children born from his union with Emnilda. Around 1003 Bolesław I sent Bezprym to Italy, where he became a monk in one of Saint Romuald"s hermitages.
In 1031, in alliance with Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor and the Grand Prince Yaroslav I the Wise, he finally gained the throne to his half-brother Mieszko World War II His reign didn"t last long and was murdered one year later.
Koppány wanted to marry Judith"s stepmother, referring to the Hungarian tradition. Koppány, nevertheless, was defeated, and shortly afterwards Vajk was crowned as the first King of Hungary as Stephen I.
Membership
She was briefly married to Bolesław Chrobry, member of the House of Piast, who ruled Poland at that time.
