Maria of Bytom also known as Queen Maria of Hungary (Polish: Maria bytomska or Maria (królowa Węgier); b. 1282/84 - d. Temesvár [now Timişoara, Rumania], 15 December 1315), was a Polish princess member of the House of Piast in the Bytom branch and by marriage Queen of Hungary.
She was the third child and only daughter of Duke Casimir of Bytom by his wife Helena.[1].
Life
Maria married in 1306 with Charles I Robert of Anjou, King of Hungary, according to the chronicle of Jan Długosz, who is generally accepted by the majority of historians. The marriage was probably on the initiative of Władysław I the Elbow-high, and the role of matchmaker had to play her brother Bolesław, then Scholastic of Kraków and Duke of Toszek. Also, this union was the external expression of the approximation between the Polish and Hungarian Kingdoms, connected to the transition of the House of Anjou politics in a close political relations with Poland. The position of Maria as Queen of Hungary also paved the way for the subsequent career in the Hungarian church of his brothers Bolesław (later Archbishop of Esztergom) and Mieszko (later Bishop of Nitra and Veszprém).
Maria died on 15 December 1315 and was buried in the Royal vault of Székesfehérvár in the Basilica of the Virgin Mary.
Issue
About if the marriage of Charles I Robert and Maria had offspring, there are divided opinions. Some historians believed that the union was childless due to the infertility of Maria; but another group of Polish and foreign historians, leaded by the genealogist Włodzimierz Dworzaczek, argued that the marriage in fact produced two daughters:[2]
- Katherine (d. 1355), married in 1338 to Duke Henry II of Świdnica; their only child, Anne of Świdnica, was later Holy Roman Empress by his marriage with Charles IV of Luxembourg.
- Elisabeth (d. by 19 August 1367), married with "Bolesław of Opole" (probably Duke Bolesław II of Niemodlin).[3]
However, another sources[4][5] stated that King Charles I's third and last wife, Elisabeth of Poland (with he married in 1320) was the mother of Katherine and Elisabeth.
