euphrosyne of kiev

euphrosyne of kiev -lrb- `` euphrosine of novgorod '' -rrb- -lrb- c. 1130 -- c. 1193 -rrb- was queen consort of hungary .
euphrosyne was the first daughter of grand prince mstislav i of kiev and his second wife , ljubava saviditsch .
in 1146 , euphrosyne married king géza ii of hungary , who had come of age shortly before .
during her husband 's reign euphrosyne did not intervene in the politics of the kingdom , but after his death on 31 may 1162 , her influence strengthened over their son , king stephen iii .
the young king had to struggle against his uncles ladislaus and stephen to save his throne , and euphrosyne took an active part in the struggles .
she persuaded king vladislaus ii of bohemia to give military assistance to her son against the invasion of the emperor manuel i komnenos .
euphrosyne 's favourite son was the youngest , duke géza of hungary .
when king stephen iii died on 4 march 1172 , she was planning to ensure his succession against her older son , béla , who had been living in the court of the emperor manuel i komnenos .
however , béla came back , and he was crowned on 13 january 1173 , although the archbishop lukács of esztergom denied his coronation .
shortly after , king béla iii arrested his brother , which increased the tension between euphrosyne and her son .
duke géza soon managed to escape , probably with euphrosyne 's help , but in 1177 he was again arrested .
in 1186 , euphrosyne tried to release her younger son again , but she failed .
king béla iii ordered the arrest of euphrosyne and kept her confined in the fortress of barancs -lrb- serbian : braničevo -rrb- .
shortly after , euphrosyne was set free , but she was obliged to leave the kingdom for constantinople .
from constantinople she moved to jerusalem where she lived as a nun in the convent of the hospitallers , and then in the basilian monastery of saint sabbas .
