High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Bela III (Hungarian: III. Bela, Croatian: Bela III, Slovak: Belo III) (c. 1148 – 23 April 1196) was King of Hungary(1172–1196). He was educated in the court of the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I who was planning to ensure his succession in the Byzantine Empire till the birth of his own son. Following the death of his elder brother, who had been fighting against the Byzantine Empire, Bela could only ascend to the throne with the assistance of his uncle Emperor Manuel I and Pope Alexander III, because a significant part of the Hungarian aristocracy led by his own mother and the Archbishop of Esztergom preferred his younger brother's succession. Bela was one of the most powerful rulers of Hungary and he was also one of the most wealthy monarchs of Europe of his age. Bela disposed of the equivalent of 23 tonnes of pure silver per year. This exceeded the income of the French king (estimated at 17 tonnes) and was double the receipts of the English Crown. It was probably he who began to organise the Royal Chancellery in Hungary.
