A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Agnes (of Hungary)

by Mary Matilda Betham

AGNES, Wife of Andrew III. King of Hungary. Died 1364.

The daughter of Albert, emperor of Germany. She distinguished herself by her address and political abilities; but appears to have had more of Machiavelian policy, than true greatness of mind. After the death of her father, she resided in Switzerland, where her finesse was of great service to her brother Albert II. with whom these people were at war.
