Béla II of Hungary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Béla II of Hungary, "The Blind" (Hungarian: Vak Béla) (1110-1141) of the Arpad dynasty was King of Hungary from 1131 until his death.
His father Prince Álmos led a rebellion against his brother King Coloman of Hungary, and as a result of this he and Béla were blinded and forced to flee to Constantinople. Béla was recalled by Coloman's son and successor Stephen II, who, lacking offspring of his own, designated him his successor. Because Béla was blind, his wife Ilona and brother-in-law Beloš played a large role in governing his kingdom. Shortly after taking the throne, Ilona ordered the massacre of the men she considered responsible for her husband's blinding.
Béla's reign was notable for his foreign policy - his sister Hedwig was married to a son of Leopold III of Austria and another sister to Sobeslav I of Bohemia, thereby allying Hungary with two previously inimical states. In 1136, Béla managed to recover part of Dalmatia from Venetian control, and sent an expedition into Bosnia.
Béla's entire reign was overshadowed by a conflict with Boris, a son of Coloman of doubtful legitimacy, in which Boris was supported by Poland and Russia. In 1132 Boleslaus III of Poland led a campaign with Russian and Polish troops on Boris' behalf. Boleslaus and Boris were defeated near the Sajó River, but Boris was to prove a persistant claimant for a number of years to come.
Béla died from the effects of an overindulgence of alcohol on February 13, 1141.
[edit]
Family
Béla married Ilona of Serbia, daughter of Uros I Nemanjic, in 1127. They had six children:
Géza II
László II
István IV
Álmos, died young
Zsófia, a nun
Erzsébet, married Mieszko III of Poland

He was blinded, together with his father, on the orders of his uncle King Kálmán and took refuge in the monastery of Pécsvárad[480]. He was appointed heir to the throne by his first cousin King István II in [1129][481]. He succeeded in 1131 as BÉLA II "the Blind" King of Hungary, crowned 28 Apr 1131, one of the rare exceptions of succession to a throne by a blind person in the Balkan region. King Béla was under the influence of his domineering wife who took an active part in the government of the country.

II. Béla magyar király [szerkesztés]
2010. február 1.
A Wikipédiából, a szabad enciklopédiából.
II. (Vak) Béla (1108-1110 körül – 1141. február 13.) Árpád-házból származó magyar király. 1131. április 28-ától haláláig uralkodott. Apja Álmos herceg, I. Géza, magyar király fia, anyja Predszláva, II. Szvjatopolk kijevi nagyfejedelem leánya.
Béla három gyermek közül másodikként született. Nővére, az 1106 körül született Adalheid, húga az 1110 vége körül született Hedvig volt. Adalheid az 1120-as évek elején Szobjeszláv cseh herceg felesége lett, Hedvig 1131 körül III. Lipót osztrák őrgróf fiához, Adalberthez ment férjhez.
...
Családja [szerkesztés]
Ilona királynét műveltsége, intelligenciája és határozott jelleme alkalmassá tette arra, hogy Béla mellett az ország előtt gyakorlatilag mint társuralkodó jelenjen meg. Az oklevelek tanulsága szerint az ország lakói is tisztában voltak azzal, hogy az országban ketten uralkodnak. Az uralkodópár gondoskodott az 1131-ben még csaknem a kihalás sorsára jutott Árpád dinasztia továbbéléséről is. A következő gyermekeik születtek:
-1. 1130-ban Géza herceg, a későbbi II. Géza magyar király
-2. 1131-ben László herceg, a későbbi II. László magyar (ellen)király
-3. 1133 körül született István herceg, a későbbi IV. István magyar (ellen)király
-4. 1134-ben született Álmos herceg, aki nevét feltehetően nem Álmos nagyfejedelem, hanem nagyapja, Álmos herceg iránti kegyeletből kapta. Keresztelője 1134. június 3-án történt. Még II. Béla életében meghalt.
-5. Zsófia születési ideje nem ismert. 1139-ben III. Konrád német római császár Henrik nevű fiának jegyese volt, de a házasság nem jött létre. Életét admonti apácaként fejezte be.
-6. Gertrúd születési ideje nem ismert. 1149 körül III. Miciszláv lengyel uralkodó második felesége lett. 1156-ban halt meg.
Béla apja emlékét is kegyelettel megőrizte. 1137-ben Bizáncból hazahozatta Álmos herceg tetemét és a székesfehérvári bazilikában temettette el.
A vak király a korban megszokottnál mélyebben és érzékenyebben élte át a családjával kapcsolatos eseményeket. Külföldi forrásnak köszönhetően fennmaradtak a császári udvarba távozó Zsófia leányát búcsúztató szavai (1139-ből):
„Ég és föld Ura, te mindent látsz, én viszont semmit sem látok. Rendelésedre, mivel így akartad, én vakká lettem. […] Ő az én egyetlen leányom. […] ma őt […] férjhez adom […] legyen köztem és közted olyan erős megállapodás, Istenem, hogy te őt soha el nem hagyod.”
A művelt császári udvarban kegyetlenül és megalázóan bántak Zsófia hercegnővel. Béla ezt már nem érte meg. Székesfehérvárott temették el.

Still as a child, Béla was blinded by his uncle, King Coloman who wanted to ensure the succession of his own son, the future King Stephen II. During his childhood, Béla lived in different monasteries of the kingdom till the childless King Stephen II invited him to his court. Following King Stephen's death, Béla ascended the throne, but during his reign he had continously struggle with King Coloman's alleged son, Boris who tried to acquire the crown with the military assistance of the neighbouring countries.
Béla was the only son of Duke Álmos, the younger brother of King Coloman of Hungary. His mother was Predslava of Kiev. Duke Álmos led several rebellions against his brother, but finally, he and Béla were blinded in 1115. Father and son were living together in the Premonstratensian Monastery of Dömös till 1126, when Duke Álmos tried to organise a conspiracy against King Stephen II, King Coloman's son and heir, but he failed and had to escape to the Byzantine Empire. Following his father's escape, Béla was taken secretly to the Monastery of Pécsvárad by his father's partisans.
In 1128, after the death of Duke Álmos, King Stephen was informed that his blind cousin was still living in Hungary, and he invited Béla to his court. Upon the king's request, Béla married Jelena, a daughter of Serbian Duke Uroš I of Raška, and the king granted the couple estates near Tolna.
On 1 March 1131, the childless king died, and on 28 April, Béla was crowned in Székesfehérvár, although King Stephen II had designated his sister's son, Saul his successor in 1126, but Saul had died before his uncle, or Béla's partisans managed to defeat him.

[edit] Struggles with Boris
As Béla was blind, his wife played a decisive role in governing his kingdom. Shortly after ascending the throne, Queen Helena ordered the massacre of the people she considered responsible for her husband's blinding at an assembly in Arad. She implaced her brother, Beloš, as the count palatine, giving him supreme command over the Hungarian Army and a commendable place in the Hungarian Royal Court.
Béla's entire reign was overshadowed by a conflict with Boris, a son of King Coloman of doubtful legitimacy, in which Boris was supported by Poland and Rus'. In 1132, King Boleslaus III of Poland led a campaign with Rus' and Polish troops on Boris' behalf.

Béla's reign was notable for his foreign policy - his sister Hedwig was married to a son of Margrave Leopold III of Austria and another sister to Duke Sobeslav I of Bohemia, thereby allying Hungary with two previously inimical states. His brothers-in-law convinced Emperor Lothair III, who had been struggling against Poland, to include into the terms of the Peace of Merseburg with Boleslaw III that the Polish king would not support Boris against Béla any more.
In 1136, Béla managed to recover parts of Dalmatia from the control of the Republic of Venice, and sent an expedition into Bosnia. In 1137, he gave the title of Duke of Bosnia, with acceptance from the entire country, to his younger son Ladislaus.
Béla died from the effects of an overindulgence of alcohol.

Béla II the Blind (Hungarian : II. (Vak) Béla, Slovak : Belo II, Croatian : Bela II.), (c. 1110 – 13 February 1141), King of Hungary (1131-1141). Still as a child, Béla was blinded by his uncle, King Coloman who wanted to ensure the succession of his own son, the future King Stephen II. During his childhood, Béla lived in different monasteries of the kingdom till the childless King Stephen II invited him to his court. Following King Stephen's death, Béla ascended the throne, but during his reign he had continuously struggle with King Coloman's alleged son, Boris who tried to acquire the crown with the military assistance of the neighbouring countries.
Béla was the only son of Duke Álmos , the younger brother of King Coloman of Hungary . His mother was Predslava of Kiev . Duke Álmos led several rebellions against his brother, but finally, he and Béla were blinded in 1115. Father and son were living together in the Premonstratensian Monastery of Dömös till 1126, when Duke Álmos tried to organise a conspiracy against King Stephen II , King Coloman's son and heir, but he failed and had to escape to the Byzantine Empire . Following his father's escape, Béla was taken secretly to the Monastery of Pécsvárad by his father's partisans.
In 1128, after the death of Duke Álmos, King Stephen was informed that his blind cousin was still living in Hungary, and he invited Béla to his court. Upon the king's request, Béla married Jelena , a daughter of Serbian Duke Uroš I of Raška , and the king granted the couple estates near Tolna.
On 1 March 1131, the childless king died, and on 28 April, Béla was crowned in Székesfehérvár , although King Stephen II had designated his sister's son, Saul his successor in 1126, but Saul had died before his uncle, or Béla's partisans managed to defeat him.
Struggles with Boris
As Béla was blind, his wife played a decisive role in governing his kingdom. Shortly after ascending the throne, Queen Helena ordered the massacre of the people she considered responsible for her husband's blinding at an assembly in Arad . She implaced her brother, Beloš, as the count palatine, giving him supreme command over the Hungarian Army and a commendable place in the Hungarian Royal Court.
Béla's entire reign was overshadowed by a conflict with Boris , a son of King Coloman of doubtful legitimacy, in which Boris was supported by Poland and Rus' . In 1132, King Boleslaus III of Poland led a campaign with Rus' and Polish troops on Boris' behalf. When Béla were informed that the Polish and Rus' armies entered to Hungary, he assembled a meeting of the barons where all the participants were killed who did not want to declare Boris bastard. King Boleslaus and Boris were defeated near the Sajó River on 22 July, but Boris was to prove a persistent claimant for a number of years to come.
His policy
Béla's reign was notable for his foreign policy - his sister Hedwig was married to a son of Margrave Leopold III of Austria and another sister to Duke Sobeslav I of Bohemia , thereby allying Hungary with two previously inimical states. His brothers-in-law convinced Emperor Lothair III , who had been struggling against Poland, to include into the terms of the Peace of Merseburg t with Boleslaw III that the Polish king would not support Boris against Béla any more.
In 1136, Béla managed to recover parts of Dalmatia from the control of the Republic of Venice , and sent an expedition into Bosnia . In 1137, he gave the title of Duke of Bosnia, with acceptance from the entire country, to his younger son Ladislaus.
Béla died from the effects of an overindulgence of alcohol.
