She was the sister of Saint Margaret of Hungary and Saint Kinga (Cunegunda). One of her paternal aunts was the great Franciscan saint, Elizabeth of Hungary. == Life == As a young girl, Yolanda was sent to Poland to be tutored under the supervision of her sister, Kinga, who was married to the Duke of Poland.

They had three daughters: * Elisabeth of Kalisz (1263 – 28 September 1304); married Henry V, Duke of Legnica. * Hedwig of Kalisz (1266 – 10 December 1339); married Władysław I the Elbow-high, King of Poland. * Anna of Kalisz (born 1278, date of death unknown); a nun in Gniezno During the time of her marriage, she was noted for her great services to the poor and needy of the country, as well as being a major benefactor of the monasteries, friaries and hospitals connected to them. Her husband gave her so much support in her charities that he earned the nickname "the Pious". She was widowed in 1279. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yolanda of Poland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
