Adelaide/Richeza of Poland, (c. 1018 \endash after 1059 ) was Queen Consort of Hungary .

She was a daughter of King Mieszko II Lambert of Poland , and his wife, Richeza of Lotharingia . She is traditionally called Richeza, but contemporary sources do not confirm this name. Nowadays it is supposed that she was called Adelaide[1].

Between 1039 and 1043 , she was married to Duke Béla of Hungary , who had served her father and taken part in her father's campaigns against the pagan Pomeran tribes.

In 1048 , her husband received one third of Hungary ("Tercia pars Regni") as appanage from his brother, King Andrew I of Hungary , and the couple moved to Hungary . On 6 December 1060, her husband was crowned King of Hungary after defeating his brother. She possibly was not alive at the time of her husband's coronation.
