GÉZA, son of BÉLA II "the Blind" King of Hungary & his wife Jelena of Serbia ([1130]-3 or 31 May 1162, bur Székesfehérvár). The Chronicon Dubnicense names "Geysam, Ladizlaum, Stephanum et Almus" as the four sons of "Bela cecus"[692]. The Annales Gradicenses record the death in 1141 of "Bela rex Ungarorum" and the accession of his son[693]. He succeeded his father in 1141 as GÉZA II King of Hungary, under the regency from 1142 of his maternal uncle Beloš of Serbia during which time Hungarian ties with Serbia were strengthened[694]. "Geica rex Ungariæ" restored "abbatiæ montis Pannoniæ", founded by "Sancti regis Stephani" and withdrawn by "rege Colomano et filio suo rege Stephano", by charter dated 1142, subscribed by "Belus dux, Calanus comes, Gereon comes, Paulus, Vamoldus comes, Cadas comes"[695]. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Geyza rex" invaded "Theotonicorum terram" in 1145 and expelled "Herzog", whose army fled[696]. The person to whom "Herzog" refers has not yet been identified. "Geisa secundus secundi Belæ regis filius" confirmed the possessions of the church of Buda by charter dated 1148 in the presence of "Ioanus comitis, Appa comitis, Zaith [Zasit] comitis, Gabrielis dapiferi, Caiphæ magistri pincernarum, Bogislai regiæ cameræ presidentis"[697]. Hungarian troops assisted Géza's maternal uncle Uroš II Grand Župan of Serbia in his defence against Byzantium, but the Byzantines won a decisive victory on the River Tara in 1150. The following year, Emperor Manuel Komnenos declared war on Hungary, besieged Zemun but withdrew without occupying Hungarian territory[698]. Peace was negotiated with Emperor Manuel in 1156[699]. During the reign of Géza II, large-scale German colonisation took place in Transylvania[700]. The necrology of Salzburg St Rudpert records the death "II Kal Jun" of "Geutse Ungarorum rex"[701]. The Chronicon Posoniense records the death in 1162 of "Geyza rex"[702]. The Chronicon Dubnicense records the death "Kal Jun" in 1161 of "Geysa" and his burial "Albe"[703]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that King Géza reigned for twenty years and was buried at Székesfehérvár[704].
m (1146) IEVFROSINA Mstislavna of Kiev, daughter of MSTISLAV II Vladimirovich "the Great" Grand Prince of Kiev & his second wife [Liubava] Dmitrievna ([1130]-1186 or before). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter dated 1194/95, reciting the consanguinity between Philippe II King of France and his second wife Ingebjörg of Denmark on which their divorce was based, which names "Ingiburgh filia Rizlavi…Ruthenorum Regis et Cristinæ Reginæ…filia…Ingonis Suevorum Regis et Helena Reginæ" as mother of "Waldemarum Regem" and refers to "prædictæ Ingeborgis soror" as mother of "Belæ Regis Hungariæ" who married "sororem Philippi Regis Francorum"[705]. Baumgarten names the wife of King Géza as the daughter of Prince Mstislav but only cites one secondary source in support[706]. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "mater regis" was exiled to Greece "eodem tempore"[707], listed under 1187 in the paragraph which records the exile of her son Géza. Her name and date of death are confirmed by the charter dated 1186 under which her daughter "Elisabeth ducis Bohemie uxor" founded a church in Bohemia for the Knights Hospitallers, who had been favoured by "Eurosine matre mee"[708].
King Géza & his wife had eight children
