Anastasia was a daughter of Grand Prince Yaroslav I the Wise of Kyiv and Ingigerd of Sweden, and the older sister of the French queen Anne of Kyiv. Around 1038 Anastasia married Duke Andrew of Hungary,[1] who had settled down in Kyiv after his father Vazul took part in a failed assassination attempt aimed at King Stephen I of Hungary. In 1046, her husband returned to Hungary and ascended the throne after defeating King Peter Urseolo.
