BIOGRAPHY
Richeza was born about 1018, the daughter of Mieszko II Lambert, king of Poland, and Richeza de Lorraine. Between 1039 and 1043 she married Duke Béla of Hungary, a younger son of Vazul 'the Blind' of Hungary and Katun Comitopuli or Katalin of Bulgaria. Béla's elder brother András, from a younger branch of the Arpád dynasty, had claimed the throne when the older line became extinct with the death of King Stephan I, but he and his younger brothers Béla and Levente had been exiled from Hungary, fearing for their lives. András found refuge in Kiev, and Béla and Levente found refuge with Richeza's father Mieszko II Lambert in Poland, where they served him and took part in his campaigns against the pagan Pomeran tribes.

In 1046 the brothers returned to Hungary, sparking the Vatha pagan rising, in which András through pagan support managed to wrest the Hungarian crown from Peter Orseolo, brother-in-law of the late King Stephan. In 1048 Richeza's husband received one third of Hungary ('Tercia pars Regni') as an apanage from his brother. However he rebelled against his brother in 1057 when András had his five-year-old son Salomon crowned as his successor, displacing Béla. Initially forced into exile, on 6 December 1060 Béla was crowned king of Hungary after defeating his brother.

Richeza and Béla had eight children, of whom five would have progeny, and two, Geisa I and Lászlo I, would be kings of Hungary.

Richeza's year of death is not known with certainty. One source gives her date of death as 21 May 1075, but this cannot be confirmed. After Béla's death in 1063 Emperor Heinrich IV installed András' son Salomon as the new king, and the sons of Richeza and Béla were forced into exile.
