Geza I of Hungary

Géza I (Slovak: Gejza), who lived c. 1040 - 1077, was the king of Hungary from 1074 to 1077.

For his coronation, Geza received a crown from Byzantine Emperor Michael VII Dukas which was incorporated with the ancient crown of King Stephen I. Geza's short rule was characterized by general disorder in the kingdom.

Geza died on April 25, 1077 and was succeeded by his brother Ladislaus I. His sister Jelena was married to the Croatian king Dmitar Zvonimir.
