Who is George, son of Andrew I of Hungary?
George was an illegitimate son of Andrew I. George was the son of a non-Christian marriage of Andrew I, to a Hungarian woman, before Andrew's conversion to the Roman Catholic faith, but subsequent Christian marriage to a Russian Orthodox princess rendered the non-Christian children of his first marriage illegitimate under Catholic Canon law, and therefore with no rights to the now Christian Hungarian throne. According to the legend George went to Scotland in 1055 and became ancestor of the Drummond family.
