--- of Hungary, daughter of GÉZA Prince of Hungary & his second wife Adelajda of Poland ([989]-1026). Her parentage is confirmed by Herimannus who names "Petrum, sororis suæ [=Stephanus Ungariorum rex] filium, de Venetia natum" when recording his accession in 1038[345]. Chronology suggests that she was the daughter of Prince Géza's second marriage but the primary source which confirms this has not so far been identified. Her marriage is confirmed by the Gesta Hungarorum which names "Petrum Venetum filium sororis suæ…cuius pater dux fuerat Venetorum" as successor to King István[346]. As Pietro Orseolo was Doge from 1009 to the early 1020s, he is the only possible Venetian ruler to whom this can relate. Andrea Dandulo´s Chronicon Venetum records the marriage "Otto Ursiolo dux" and "filiam Geyzæ regis Hungarorum et sororem Stephani", dated to 1009 from the context[347].

m (1009) PIETRO OTTONE Orseolo, son of PIETRO Orseolo II Doge of Venice & his wife Maria --- ([989]-Constantinople 1031). Named "OTTONE" at his confirmation at Verona 996, after his sponsor Emperor Otto III. His father associated him with the Dogeship after the death of his older brother Giovanni. He was elected Doge of Venice in 1009 in succession to his father. Unpopular in Venice for aggrandizing his family, he was forced to flee the city for Istria in [1022/23], but was recalled by the Venetians after the sacking of Grado by Poppo von Treffen Patriarch of Aquileia. Following further scandals over church appointments, he was deposed as Doge in 1026 and sent to Constantinople.

Pietro Orseolo & his wife had two children:

little curiosity

Probably it must have been one of this type of marriages that then forced the "dogaresse of Venice" to bring the husband's COA to clarify who was marrying whom and who was to serve what.
