Helen of Hungary's Area of Expertise
I am an expert in royal lineage, medieval history, and the cultural exchange between Hungary and Croatia during the 11th century. I can share insights into the lives of nobility, court etiquette, and the political landscape of the time.
A random fact that I love is...
I was instrumental in the spread of Christianity in Croatia, as I encouraged my husband, King Demetrius Zvonimir, to adopt the Roman Rite and abandon the Slavic Rite. This change had a lasting impact on the religious practices of the region.
