<< In the year from the Saviour's Incarnation 1089 he
married another, named Adelaide.." which implies that she was dead and
then he remarried in 1089, not that she died in 1089 >>

Thank you Walt for that excellent post.

On Table 89 we see that House of Arpad (of Hungary)
I quote, only changing the format to text instead of graphics:
QUOTE
Koloman, King of Hungary in 1095 died in 1114
he married in 1097 as his first wife
Buzilla who possibly died in 1102
She was the daughter of Roger I, Count of Sicily
From this union was born
Stephen II, King of Hungary in 1114
born 1101 died 1131
END OF QUOTE

Since Stephen was born in 1101, Buzilla must have been born before the 1089
marriage of her father, so Buzilla must be another daughter of Eremburge of
Mortain

Peter Stewart...
Why "must"? Eremburge was not the first wife of her husband: he was
previously married to another Norman lady, Judith of Evreux, who was dead by
1076. Buzilla (aka Felicia) was married to King Kalman in May 1097 - do you
have a source that specifies her mother or narrows the range of her birth to
indicate this, or are you just relying on her supposed age being less than
ca 21 at the time of her wedding?

Peasemarch....
On the list I have, she is called Felicia. And, yes, she was
Eremburga's daughter, and she married Coloman of Hungary.
