June 1131 CE

Béla's wife plays a decisive role in governing his kingdom, as the king is blind.

Shortly after ascending the throne, Queen Helena orders the massacre of the people she considers responsible for her husband's blinding at an assembly in Arad.

She installs her brother, Beloš, as the count palatine, giving him supreme command over the Hungarian Army and a commendable place in the Hungarian Royal Court.
