She married Byzantine Emperor John II Commenus, and she became a saint of the Greek Orthodox Church. Princess Piroska was forced against her will to marry John Commenus by her uncle King Kalman (Koloman), a marriage carried out in the interests of the state. When Princess Piroska of Hungary went to live to the imperial court at Constantinople, she became Christian Orthodox and adopted the name Irene, and so she is known as Saint Irene Prisca by the Greek Orthodox Church, canonized due to her piety. Szent Piroska's feast in the Greek Orthodox Church, where she is known as Saint Irene or Xenia, is August 13, the day she died.
