==Early life== Born probably at the [[Imperial Palace of Goslar]], Judith was the youngest of the six children born to [[Emperor Henry III]] and [[Empress Agnes]].{{sfn|Rosenwein|2018|p=178}} Soon after her birth on 9 April 1054, Judith was betrothed to [[Philip I of France|Philip]], eldest son of King [[Henry I of France]].{{sfn|Mielke|2021|p=54}} However, after the death of Emperor Henry III on 5 October 1056, with Empress Agnes acting as [[regent]] on behalf of her minor son, [[Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor|King Henry IV]],{{sfn|Jackson|1999|p=?}} the engagement was broken in September 1058, when a peace treaty was concluded with King [[Andrew I of Hungary]]. Emperor Henry III had waged two unsuccessful campaigns against [[Kingdom of Hungary|Hungary]] in 1051 and 1052, whereafter [[Pope Leo IX]] arranged an agreement. As a part of the new alliance, Judith was engaged to the Hungarian king's son [[Solomon, King of Hungary|Solomon]] at the [[Duchy of Bavaria|Bavarian]] court in [[Regensburg]]. When King Andrew I died in 1060, his widow and sons had to take refuge in [[Kingdom of Germany|Germany]]. Nevertheless, with the support of his powerful brother-in-law, Solomon [[German invasion of Hungary (1063)|could recover]] the Hungarian throne after the death of his uncle [[Béla I of Hungary|Béla I]] in 1063 and soon after married with Judith in [[Székesfehérvár]].
