King András of Hungary the White

  General Notes:

King of Hungary from 1046/1047 until his death. He descended from a younger branch of the Árpád dynasty. After spending fifteen years in exile, he ascended the throne during an extensive revolt of the pagan Hungarians. He strengthened the position of Christianity in his kingdom, while preserving the independence of the Kingdom of Hungary from the Holy Roman Empire. He tried to ensure the succession of his son which resulted in the open revolt of his brother who dethroned him by force.

András married Anastasia OF KIEV, daughter of Yaroslav OF KIEV the Wise and Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden. (Anastasia OF KIEV was born circa 1023 and died in 1096.)
