A pagan at birth, he was converted to Christianity in his youth. He became duke of Hungary in 997. Shortly thereafter a pagan revolt broke out in several Hungarian provinces. Stephen immediately attacked the insurgents and defeated them at Veszprem. He was crowned king in 1001, on the occasion of his coronation Pope Sylvester II sent a crown from Rome and accorded him the title "Apostolic Majesty", which was borne by Hungarian sovereings until the overthrow of the Hungarian monarchy in 1918. His reign was notable for the propagation of Christianity and the suppression of paganism throughout Hungary. He was canonized in 1083 and became the patron saint of Hungary. His feast day is August 16.

Gisela of Bavaria; father of Agatha. [Charlemagne & Others, Chart 3315] With Stephen a new era began for Hungary. Christianity became the official religion, paganism was suppressed, royal authority was centralized, and the country was divided into counties for administrative purposes. The non-Magyar sections of the population were treated as subject races and were forced to shoulder a disproportionate burden of toil and taxation for many centuries. After Stephen's death a pagan reaction developed, and his immediate successors also had to contend with barbarian and German invations.

[Ancestral Roots, p. 2] In Vajay's article in the 1960s he started with the previous claims for Agatha's parentage (daughter of St. Stephen, or daughter of Bruno of Augsburg, brother of Henry II), and demonstrated that they were both extremely unlikely. He then based his analysis on the statement by Florence that Emperor Henry was the paternal uncle of Agatha. This could not have been Henry II, since Vajay had just excluded both of his siblings as the parent, but could have been Henry III, who was Emperor at the time of the Exile's return. The problem is that Henry III was an only son of his parents. Vajay recognized, however, that Henry's mother had been married twice before, and he had three half-brothers. He then reconstructed the chronology of Gisela's marriages, and concluded that only her son Liudolf, born of her marriage to Bruno of Brunswick, could have been old enough to be Agatha's father. He therefore proposed that this was Agatha's parentage. The strength of the theory is that it harmonzes with Florence's statement, without forcing either a priest or a King of Hungary who died without surviving children to have a daughter. The drawbacks are several-fold. First of all, Vajay had to completely rewrite the chronology of Gisela's marital history to get any of her sons old enough to be Agatha's father. In this, I think he was right in placing her marriage to Bruno first, but the chronology is still pretty tight. Next, Liudolf was not known to have had any daughters, let alone a daughter Agatha. There is no indication in this pedigree as to where some of the more unusual nomenclature -- Agatha, Christina, Margaret, David, Alexander -- might have come from. This theory was accepted by most scholars up until a couple of years ago when a new theory was proposed. It is still the position of the Jette skeptics. [Todd A.
