Is he related to Elizabeth?--67.52.221.226 (talk) 20:03, 7 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, they were supposedly cousins. But it's more complicated than it seems.  They had the same grandfather, Stephen VIII Báthory of the Somlyó branch of the Báthory family, who was Andrew's paternal grandfather.  However, he was Elizabeth's maternal grandfather, so her last name doesn't actually come from the same line.  Andrew (of this article) was from the Somlyó branch, while Elizabeth was from the Ecséd branch of the Báthory family.  Bzzzing (talk) 23:48, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
