    Agatha's parents are not proven to my satisfaction.  I cannot tell why she was sometimes known as "of Hungary."
    "The Plantagenet Ancestry," W.H.Turton (Balt.: Gen.Pub.Co., 1968) identifies Agatha "of Germany" as dau. of Bruno of Germany, Bishop of Augsburg and brother of Emperor Henry II. Ernest-Friedrich Kraentzler, "The Ancestry of Richard Plantagenet and
    Cecily de Neville," p. 58, states that Agatha is daughter of Ludolph von Braunschweig, Count im Derlingo, Marquis von Westfriesland, b. 1008, d. 04-23-1038, m, 1020 Gertrude von Egisheim. See Szabolcs de Vajay, "Agatha, Mother of St. Margaret, Queen
    of Scotland," in Duquesne Review, vol. 7, no. 2, Spring, 1962, pp. 71-80, with tables.
    "Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists...," Frederick L. Weis, 7th Edition (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1992), p. 2, gives the current status of the discussion of Agatha's parentage: "For her ancestry, see The American
    Genealogist 54:231. But see also Frank Barlow, "The Feudal Kingdom of England, 16-17; Ritchie, "The Normans in Scotland," 389-392, and Szaboles de Vajay, [referenced above - AEM ] The parentage suggested in the last [i.e. de Vajay] reference is the
    most probable. See also Gabriel Ronay, "The Lost King of England" (1989), 117-121."
    In "The Saints of the Catholic Church" it is written that she was a sister of Gisela of Bavaria who was married to king (St) Sthephen of Hungary (he died August 5th 1038).
