 Research Notes:
The primary source which confirms her parentage has not so far been identified. She brought part of northern Serbia, probably north-eastern Bosnia and Macva, to Hungary as her dowry. She led a campaign of revenge against the magnates alleged to have permitted the blinding of her husband, including the execution of 68 magnates at a meeting in Arad in [1131/32]. A charter dated 3 Sep 1138 records the confirmation of his father’s donation by "Rege Bela secundo, bonæ memoriæ Almi ducis filio, cum Helena regina" to "ecclesiam…Martyris Margarethæ…Demesiensi". 1
