Editing Judith of Swabia (section)

==Queen of Hungary==
Judith's marriage to Solomon proved to be unsuccessful, and apparently both the king and queen had love affairs. Although it is generally believed that the union was childless, some sources state that Solomon and Judith had a daughter, Sophia,{{sfn|Keats-Rohan|Settipani|2000|p=47}} who later married Count Poppo of Berg-Schelklingen.{{sfn|Weinfurter|1999|p=186}}

During the 1070s, a struggle for power commenced between [[Solomon, King of Hungary|King Solomon]] and his cousins ([[Géza I of Hungary|Geza]] and [[Ladislaus I of Hungary|Ladislaus]], sons of the late [[Béla I of Hungary|Béla I]]). On 14 March 1074 at the [[Battle of Mogyoród]], the king's forces were decisively defeated by his cousins and their allies, the Dukes of [[History of Poland during the Piast dynasty|Poland]] and [[Duchy of Bohemia|Bohemia]]. Judith fled back to Germany, while Solomon continued his fight for the Hungarian throne; in 1077 he accepted the rule of his cousin King [[Ladislaus I of Hungary|László I]], who gave him in exchange extensive landholdings after his formal abdication (1081). Despite this, Solomon never gave up his pretensions and began to plot against King László I; however, his plans were discovered and he was imprisoned by the King in the Tower of [[Visegrád]] until 15 August 1083, when on the occasion of the canonization of [[Stephen I of Hungary|Stephen I]], the first king of Hungary, Solomon was released.

In the meantime, Judith remained in Germany and settled in her residence in Regensburg (with short breaks) from May or July 1074 until 1088. After his release, Solomon went to Germany and tried to reunite with his wife, but she refused to receive him. After a long wandering, Solomon made an alliance with Kuteshk, the leader of a [[Pechenegs|Pecheneg]] tribe settled in the later principality of [[Moldavia]]. Between 1084-1085 he married his daughter, committing [[bigamy]] with this act.

Solomon promised to hand over parts of the kingdom of Hungary in exchange for his new father-in-law's military assistance. In 1085, Solomon led the Pecheneg troops against Hungary, but King Ladislaus I defeated them. Two years later, in 1087, Solomon took part in the Pechenegs' campaign against the [[Byzantine Empire]] and was killed in a battle near [[Edirne|Hadrianopolis]].<ref>Bertholdi Annales 1087. Mon.
