Adelheid of Swabia

Adelheid of Swabia also Adelheid of Rheinfelden , actually Adelheid of Hungary (* before 1077; † May 1090 ) was Queen of Hungary .

Adelheid von Schwaben was born as the daughter of the German rival king and Duke of Swabia, Rudolf von Rheinfelden , and his second wife Adelheid von Turin . In 1077 she married the Hungarian king Ladislaus I , the saint, of the house of the Arpad , who was crowned king in the same year. The marriage resulted in two daughters, but she remained without a male heir. The older daughter was Piroska of Hungary , the younger was married to Vladimir Monomakh in order to improve relations with Kiev. Her husband survived her by 5 years without marrying again. His successor was Koloman , the son of his older brother and predecessor Géza I. According to tradition (Libri Constructionum of the St. Blasien Monastery), Adelheid is said to have received a cross particle from her brother-in-law Ceysa, which she handed over to the St. Blasien Monastery ( Adelheid- Cross ). Accordingly, it was also her wish to be buried in this monastery, which she and her family sponsored, which is also the case according to research on the sources of Martin Gerbert . She was the sister of Duke Berthold von Rheinfelden . Her mother and another brother, Otto von Rheinfelden, are also said to have been buried there.
