What role did Béla IV's daughter Anna play in his conflicts with his son Stephen?
She mediated between them
She fought for her brother
She was Béla IV's favored child, causing tensions
She became Queen of Hungary after Stephen
Answer
Béla IV favored his daughter Anna over his son Stephen, which caused tension between the two. Stephen was unhappy that he was not his father's favorite and believed that he should be the heir to the throne. Béla IV attempted to reconcile the two by giving Stephen the title of Duke of Transylvania, but this did not work. Stephen eventually rebelled against his father and seized power in 1272.
