Saint Emeric of Hungary (Hungarian: Szent Imre herceg) also Henricus, Emery, Emerick, Emmerich, Emericus or
Americus (c.
1007 2 September 1031) was the son of King St. Stephen I of Hungary and Giselle of Bavaria. He is assumed to
be the
second son of Stephen, he was named after his uncle, St. Henry II, and was the only one of Stephen's sons who
reached
adulthood.
Emeric was educated in a strict and ascetic spirit by the bishop of Csand, St. Gerhard (St. Gellrt) from the
age of 15 to
23. He was intended to be the next monarch of Hungary, and his father wrote admonitions to prepare him for this
task. His
father tried to make Emeric co-heir still in his lifetime.
He married in the year 1022. The identity of his wife is disputed. Some say it was Irene Monomachina, a
relative of
Byzantine emperor Constantine IX Monomachos, or a female member of the Argyros family to which Byzantine
emperor Romanos
III Argyros belonged. Other say it was Patricissa of Croatia, the daughter of Kreimir III of Croatia. Another
possible
person may have been Adelaide/Rixa of Poland or one of her unnamed sisters.
But his father's plans could never be fulfilled: on 2 September 1031, at age 24, Emeric was killed by a boar
while
hunting. It is assumed that this happened in Hegykzszentimre (presently Sntimreu, Romania). He was buried in
the church of
Szkesfehrvr. Several wondrous healings and conversions happened at his grave, so on 5 November 1083 King
Ladislaus I
unearthed Emeric's bones in a large ceremony, and Emeric was canonised for his pious life and purity along with
his father
and Bishop Gerhard by Pope Gregory VII.
St. Emeric is most often pictured in knight's armour with crown and lily.
It is believed by some Hungarians that Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer and the namesake of the Americas,
was named
after the saint.
