Bela III, king of Hungary (Bela 53)
Emperor Manuel I Komnenos (Manuel 1)
  • The Hungarian envoys had nothing to offer, so he sent them home, and went on to the camp at Belegrada; saw that Stephanos 54 could not rule the Hungarians, who had re-installed Stephanos 53, so he turned to Bela 53 (:) Kinnamos 214.5-215.2
István III, king of Hungary (Stephanos 53)
  • Was re-installed as king by the Hungarians at the expense of Stephanos 54; this convinced Manuel 1 that Stephanos 54 would never be able to rule Hungary, so he turned to Bela 53 (:) Kinnamos 214.19-215.2
István IV, king of Hungary (Stephanos 54)
  • Had been deposed by the Hungarians in favour of Stephanos 53: Manuel 1, realising that he would never be able to rule Hungary, turned to Bela 53 (:) Kinnamos 214.19-215.2
