Adelaide/Rixa of Poland

Adelaide/Rixa of Poland

Adelaide/Rixa of Poland, (c. 1018 – after 1059), Queen Consort of Hungary.

She was a daughter of King Mieszko II Lambert of Poland, and his wife, Richeza of Lotharingia. She is called traditionally Rixa, but contemporary sources do not confirm this name. Nowadays it is supposed that she was called Adelaide [K. Jasiński, "Rodowód pierwszych Piastów", Wrocław - Warszawa (1992)] .

Between 1039 and 1043, she was married to Duke Béla of Hungary, who had served her father and taken part in her father's campaigns against the pagan Pomeran tribes.

In 1048, her husband received one third of Hungary "("Tercia pars Regni")" as appanage from his brother, King Andrew I of Hungary, and the couple moved to Hungary. On 6 December 1060, her husband was crowned King of Hungary after defeating his brother. She possibly was not alive at the time of his husband's coronation.
