Another name for Andrew was Andreas I.
General Notes:
Andreas ble jaget bort av usurpatoren Peter i 1038, men da denne ble avsatt i 1046 ble Andreas utropt til konge. Keiser Heinrich III erklærte derfor krig mot Andreas, men måtte slutte fred i 1052 og gi avkall på tributt av Ungarn. Senere kom Andreas i strid med sin bror Bela, senere kong Bela I. Dette fordi han hadde lovet Bela at han skulle bli hans etterfølger. Men da Andreas selv fikk en sønn, ble Bela skjøvet til side. I et slag ved Theis mistet Andreas livet.
Noted events in his life were:
• Acceded: King of Hungary, 1045 or 1046.
Andrew married Anastasia of Kiev Yaroslavna, daughter of Yaroslav I Vladimirovich the Wise of Kiev and Ingegjerd Olavsdatter, in 1038. (Anastasia of Kiev Yaroslavna was born circa 1021-1023 in Kiev, Ukraine and died after 1074.)
Marriage Notes:
Their marriage date is also recorded as ca. 1046 which is probably incorrect given the birthdates of the children.
