Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anastasia_of_Kiev
Anastasia of Kiev (c. 1023 – 1074/1096) was Queen of Hungary as the wife of King 
Andrew the White. She was the eldest daughter of Grand Prince Yaroslav I the Wise 
of Kiev and Ingigerd of Sweden, and the older sister of Anne of Kiev, Queen consort 
of Henry I of France.
Around 1039, Anastasia married to Duke Andrew of Hungary, who had settled down in 
Kiev after his father Vazul took part in a failed assassination attempt aimed at King 
Stephen I of Hungary.

In 1046, her husband returned to Hungary and ascended the throne as King Andrew I 
after defeating King Peter I. Anastasia followed her husband to the kingdom. It was 
probably she who persuaded her husband to set up a lavra in Tihany for hermits who 
had come to Hungary from the Kievan Rus'. The royal couple did not have a son until 
1053, when Anastasia gave birth to Solomon. However, Solomon's birth and later 
coronation caused a bitter conflict between King Andrew I and his younger brother 
Duke Béla, who had been the heir to the throne until the child's birth.

When Duke Béla rose in open rebellion against King Andrew in 1060, the king sent his 
wife and children to the court of Adalbert, Margrave of Austria. King Andrew was 
defeated and died shortly afterwards, and his brother was crowned King of Hungary on 
6 December 1060.

Anastasia sought the help of King Henry IV of Germany, whose sister, Judith had been 
engaged to her child Solomon in 1058. By the time the German troops entered to 
Hungary to give assistance to Solomon against his uncle, King Béla I had died (on 11 
September 1063) and his sons, Géza, Ladislaus and Lampert had fled to Poland.

The young Solomon was crowned on 27 September 1063. On the occasion of her 
son's coronation, Anastasia presented what was believed to be the sword of Attila the 
Hun to Duke Otto II of Bavaria who was the leader of the German troops. Between 
1060 and 1073 King Solomon governed his kingdom in collaboration with his cousins, 
Dukes Géza, Ladislaus and Lampert who had returned to Hungary and accepted his 
rule. However, in 1074 the three brothers rebelled against their cousin, and defeated 
him on 14 March 1074. King Solomon fled to the Western borders of Hungary where 
he was able to maintain his rule only over the counties of Moson and Pozsony.

Anastasia had followed Solomon, but they began to argue with each other. So she 
moved to Admont Abbey where she lived as a nun until her death. She was buried in 
the Abbey.
