  Research Notes:

After his uncle King László I conquered Pannonian Croatia in 1091, he created a special Croatian banovina between the Drava River and Gvozd Mountains, which was ruled by Álmos but recaptured by Peter King of Croatia in 1095. His uncle designated Álmos as his successor, but Álmos's older brother Kálmán seized the throne in 1095 when King László died. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Colomannus et frater eius Almus" succeeded after the death of "Ladislaus rex" in 1097, "Colomannus rex" being crowned and "frater eius Almus" receiving "diadema" in 1098. Álmos rebelled against his brother, declaring himself king of Hungary 1102-1109, but received little support. He was blinded, together with his son, on the orders of his brother King Kálmán and fled to Constantinople. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Almus dux et Bela filius eius" were blinded in 1117.

The necrology of Admunt records the death "Kal Sep" sof "Almus dux". The Canonici Wissegradensis Continuatio Cosmæ records that "Almum" was reburied in Hungary in 1137. His body was returned to Hungary during a period of thaw in Hungarian/Byzantine relations. ¹
