It was the name of Hungarian queen Gertrudis, wife of András (Andrew) II. She was killed by a conspiracy in 1213 by several nobles while the king was away. Later the story inspired the play Bánk bán written by Katona József in 1819 and the play inspired the opera written by Egressy Béni and composed by Erkel Ferenc in 1861.
