'Polish Princes - Hungarian Queen' is the title of the new temporary exhibition at the Óbudai Museum. The Polish-Hungarian Friendship Week program series is to present the Poland born Elizabeth Piast scientifically and informally, along with Óbuda in the Middle Ages she supported in many ways.

The exhibition also deals with the role Elizabeth Piast played on Hungarian political scene. The visitors will also see a number of works of art from the 14th century, borrowed from museums across the country.

Elizabeth was born to I. Ulászló, King of Poland, and Princess Hedvig of the Árpád House. The young princess arrived in Hungary as the forth wife of the first Anjou King, Charles Robert of Anjou c.1320. Though it was not customary those times, she took on a public role: she accepted the arriving rulers standing by the side of her husband at the Visegrád Meeting of Kings (1335). She also aided his sons' military endeavours diplomatically.

Óbuda was an important location for Elizabeth. In 1334, with Papal permission, she established the Clarisse Convent and church in Óbuda for her own and her parents' salvation. In 1343 her son, by then King Louis the Great bestowed Óbuda to her where she subsequently set up her royal residence. Part of the Royal Town was built up in this era.
