King of Hungary and Croatia from 1172
One of the most eminent medieval monarchs of Hungary.

His skeleton shows he was 6 for 3 inches tall.

According to 23andMe I share 0.06% , 4.23 centiMorgans of my DNA with Bela III on 1 segment and we are very distantly related. They also state 3.75% of their customers also share identical DNA with King Bela III.
From the 23andMe
In 2014 Béla III and Anna’s tomb was opened and four of King Béla III’s bones were sampled for ancient DNA in the hopes of learning about his ancestry. Researchers discovered that he shared the most genetic similarities to present-day people from Croatia and Hungary. However, his paternal haplogroup—which if genealogical records are correct, he likely shared with his 8th great grandfather Árpád and all other rulers from the Árpád dynasty—belonged to the R1a haplogroup, which is Central Asian in origin.
T[his does not mean I am a direct descendant of Bela III. It does mean we would both share DNA from a common ancestor who lived before either of us. Even if I am directly descended from Bela III, I may have inherited none of his DNA and inherited the DNA from another ancestor distantly related to both of us. Note the facial reconstruction for Anna from the same tomb opening.]
