Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide_of_Rheinfelden
Adelaide of Rheinfelden (or Adelaide of Swabia) (German: Adelheid) (1060s – May 
1090), was the daughter of Rudolf of Rheinfelden; and wife of King Ladislaus I of 
Hungary. She was a Queen Consort of Hungary.
Life[edit]

Adelaide was born circa 1065 to Rudolf of Rheinfelden, duke of Swabia and German 
anti-king, and his second wife, Adelaide of Savoy.[1] Her maternal aunt was Bertha of 
Savoy, who was married to Henry IV of Germany.

Around 1077/8 Adelaide married Ladislaus I of Hungary, a member of the Árpád 
dynasty.[2] Ladislaus agreed to support Rudolf in his struggle for the throne against 
Henry IV of Germany. In 1079 Adelaide’s mother died, followed in 1080 by her father, 
who fell at the Battle of Elster.[1]

In 1081 Pope Gregory VII wrote to Adelaide, urging her to encourage her husband to 
support monasteries and be generous to the poor and the weak.[3]

Adelaide and her husband had two children:
Piroska of Hungary (c. 1080 – August 13, 1134), wife of John II, emperor of the 
Byzantine Empire[1]
Unknown daughter (? – ?), wife of Prince Yaroslav of Volhynia.

Adelaide died in May 1090; her husband outlived her by 5 years. She was buried in 
Veszprém, where her gravestone remains.
