Adelaide of Hungary ({{circa|1040}} – 27 January 1062){{sfn|Długosz|1997|p=1997}} was the only daughter of King Andrew I of Hungary.{{sfn|Kętrzyński|1950|p=39}} It has generally been assumed that her mother was Anastasia of Kiev,Dworzaczek W. , Genealogia , Warsaw 1959, plates 81 and 84. but it has been hypothesised that Adelaide could be the result of Andrew I and a different wife, due to the idea that Yaroslav the Wise wouldn't marry his daughter to an exiled dynast, who didn't appear to have a strong claim to the throne, for which he wouldn't gain serious support for until 1045, five years after Adelaide is thought to be born.

Biography
She was the second wife of Vratislav II of Bohemia, whom she married in 1058.{{cite encyclopedia|title=Adelaide of Hungary (d. 1062)|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G2-2591300114.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307180943/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G2-2591300114.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=7 March 2016|encyclopedia=Women in World History: A Biographical Encyclopedia|publisher=Gale Research Inc.|access-date=8 January 2013}}{{subscription required}} She was a good dynastic match for Vratislav, as he profited from the alliance with her father. They had four children, including Bretislaus II of Bohemia and Judith of Bohemia.{{sfn|Knoll|Schaer|2003|p=10}} Vratislav became duke in 1061 after the death of his brother; thus, Adelaide was duchess for only a short time before her death early in 1062.
Her husband remarried shortly after her death to Świętosława of Poland and was later crowned as the first King of Bohemia in 1085.
