Individual Details

Géza was born about 1039, the eldest son of Béla I, king of Hungary, and Richeza of Poland. Baptised as Magnus, Géza was his pagan given name. About 1062 he married Sophie of Looz, daughter of Giselbert, Graf von Looz and Erlende de Jodoigne. Géza and Sophie had two sons, of whom Kálmán would become king of Hungary. After Sophie's death in 1065, Geisa married Synadene, daughter of Theodul Synadenos and niece of Emperor Nikephoros III Botaneiates. Their son Almos would be the father of Béla II 'the Blind', king of Hungary.

For his coronation in 1074, Geisa received a crown from Byzantine Emperor Michael VII Dukas that was incorporated with the ancient crown of King Stephan I. Géza's short rule was characterised by general disorder in the kingdom. He did, however, capture Croatia from his brother-in-law Dmitar Zvonimir. Géza died on 24 April 1077, and was succeeded by his brother Laszlo I. Géza is buried at Vác.
