king of See also:Hungary, son of See also:Bela III., king of Hungary, succeeded his See also:nephew, the See also:infant See also:Ladislaus III., in 1205. No other Magyar king, perhaps, was so mischievous to his See also:country. Valiant, enterprising, pious as he was, all these See also:fine qualities were ruined by a reckless See also:good nature which never thought of the morrow. He declares in one of his decrees that the generosity of a king should be limitless, and he acted up tothis principle throughout his reign. He gave away everything. See also:money, villages, domains, whole counties, to the utter impoverishment of the See also:treasury, thereby rendering the See also:crown, for the first See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

time in Hungarian See also:history, dependent upon the See also:great feudatories, who, in Hungary as elsewhere, took all they could get and gave as little as possible in return. In all matters of See also:government, Andrew was equally reckless and haphazard. He is directly responsible for the beginnings of the feudal anarchy which well-nigh led to the extinction of the See also:monarchy at the end of the 13th See also:century. The great feudatories did not even respect the lives of the royal See also:family, for Andrew was recalled from a futile See also:attempt to reconquer See also:Galicia (which really See also:lay beyond the Hungarian See also:sphere of See also:influence), through the See also:murder of his first wife Gertrude of See also:Meran (See also:September 24, 1213), by rebellious nobles jealous of the influence of her relatives. In 1215 he married Iolanthe of See also:France, but in 1217 was compelled by the See also:pope to See also:lead a crusade to the See also:Holy See also:Land, which he undertook in hopes of being elected Latin See also:emperor of See also:Constantinople. The crusade excited no See also:enthusiasm in Hungary, but Andrew contrived to collect 15,000 men together, whom he led to See also:Venice; whence, not without much haggling and the surrender of all the Hungarian claims upon See also:Zara, about two-thirds of them were conveyed to See also:Acre. But the whole expedition was a forlorn See also:hope. The See also:Christian See also:kingdom of See also:Palestine was by this time reduced to a See also:strip of See also:coast about 440 sq. m. in extent, and after a See also:drawn See also:battle with the See also:Turks on the See also:Jordan (See also:November ro), and fruitless assaults on the fortresses of the See also:Lebanon and on See also:Mount See also:Tabor, Andrew started See also:home (See also:January 18, 1218) through See also:Antioch, See also:Iconium, Constantinople and See also:Bulgaria. On his return he found the feudal barons in the ascendant, and they extorted from him the See also:Golden See also:Bull (see HUNGARY, History). Andrew's last exploit was to defeat an invasion of See also:Frederick of See also:Austria in 1234. The same See also:year he married his third wife, See also:Beatrice of See also:Este. Besides his three sons, Bela, See also:Coloman and Andrew, Andrew had a daughter Iolanthe, who married the king of See also:Aragon. He was also the See also:father of St See also:Elizabeth of Hungary.
No See also:special monograph for the whole reign exists, but there is a good description of Andrew's crusade in See also:Reinhold Roehricht, Geschichte See also:des Konigreiches See also:Jerusalem (See also:Innsbruck, 1898). The best See also:account of Andrew's government is in L2sz16 Szal ay'sHistory of Hungary (Hung.) , vol. i. (See also:Leipzig and Pest, 1851-1862). (R. N.
