Marriage
Kunigunda was married - as a token of alliance from her maternal grandfather Bela - to King Ottokar II of Bohemia (ca. 1233 – 1278) in Bratislava on 25 October 1261. Ottokar was a member of the Přemyslid dynasty who had been recently divorced from Margaret, Duchess of Austria (ca. 1204 – 1266) because she had been unable to provide heirs for the King.
Kunigunda, 41 years Margaret's junior, bore Ottokar several children including:
- Kunigunde of Bohemia (January, 1265 – 27 November 1321). Married Boleslaus II of Masovia.
- Agnes of Bohemia (5 September 1269 – 17 May 1296). Married Rudolf II, Duke of Austria.
- Wenceslaus II of Bohemia (17 September 1271 – 21 June 1305).
