Individual Details
Prince Vazul of Hungary
(Est 990 - )
Vazul (mentioned in 1038) was a Hungarian noble of the Arpád family. He was the grandson of Taksony by his father Mihály. His brother was Laszlo of Hungary, also known as Laszlo 'the Bald'. He was a first cousin of Stephan I, king of Hungary. He took part in a conspiracy aimed at the murder of Stephan, as he was excluded from the royal succession in favour of Peter Orseolo, husband of a sister of Stephan, whose own son Emmerich was childless. The assassination attempt failed, and Vazul was blinded and his sons exiled.
Of Vazul's three sons, András, Béla and Levente, the first two would ascend the throne after the dynastic struggle following the death of Stephan I. The line of Arpád kings following Stephan is therefore referred to as the Vazul line.
