  1. 50.  Andrew II, King of HungaryAndrew II, King of Hungary Descendancy chart to this point (49.Béla10, 48.Euphrosyne9, 31.Mstislav8, 26.Gytha7, 16.Harold6, 12.Godwine5, 11.Wulfnoth4, 7.Æthelmær3, 5.Æthelwerd2, 1.Eadric1) was born about 1177; died on 21 Sep 1235 in Hungary; was buried in Egres Abbey, Igriș, Sânpetru Mare, Timiș County, Romania.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • General Information: Andrew was also the King of Galicia. He was known as Andrew of Jerusalem.
    • Title(s): 1188; He ruled the Principality of Halych from 1188 until 1189/1190, and again between 1208/1209 and 1210. He was the younger son of Béla III of Hungary, who entrusted him with the administration of the newly conquered Principality of Halych in 1188. Andrew's rule was unpopular, and the boyars (or noblemen) expelled him. Béla III willed property and money to Andrew, obliging him to lead a crusade to the Holy Land
    • Crowned: 1197; Andrew forced his elder brother, King Emeric of Hungary, to cede Croatia and Dalmatia as an appanage to him in 1197.
    • Reign: From 1205 to 1235; King of Hungary
    • History: 1213; Andrew II made an abortive attempt to conquer Galicia. His crusades to the Holy Land likewise won little glory for the crown. His wife, the Meranian Gertrude, ran a lavish, wasteful household. Andrew II's rule triggered widespread unrest, and in 1213 Gertrude was assassinated by a high-level conspiracy. The king's inefficacy was further testified to by the fact that he was unable to punish the assassins.
    • Crowned: 1214; He was crowned the King of Galacia in 1214.
    • Military: From 1217 to 1218; He joined the fifth crusade.
    • Charter/Grant/Gift: 1222; Andrew II's political opponents formed an alliance, forcing him to ratify the Golden Bull of 1222, named for the golden seal which hung from it. The document guaranteed rights to the servientes which had formerly only been enjoyed by the owners of great estates and also contained the famous "clause of resistance", whereby if the king failed to keep his word, the nobles were invested with the right to resist and oppose him without charge of disloyalty. The Golden Bull of 1222 for all purposes determined the principle of equality between nobles and occupied a central place in the thought of the Hungarian aristocracy for centuries. Although subsequently repealed, the clause of resistance initiated the long-term practice of throwing open the acts of the king to question. Because of the seminal role it played in the development of national constitutionality, the Golden Bull has frequently been likened to the Magna Charta of 1215, underscoring certain clear parallels in the constitutional development of Hungary and England.
