Description

Having now fought against Venice over the last 3 years, Sigismund now realized that with the loss of all his towns of Cividale, Sacile, Prata, Portogruaro, Belluno, Feltre, Udine as well as his inland Dalmatian lands, that continuing this war was fruitless.

Description

An opportunist by nature, Tvrtko II, Ottoman vassal, sought to break free from his master. In 1423, two years after his coronation, Tvrtko tried to form closer relationship with Republic of Venice. In 1424, a small Ottoman army raided Bosnia as a warning, but this didn't change Tvrtko's mind much. In 1425, Tvrtko II started negotiations with Emperor Sigismund to join the league against Ottomans. He agreed to Sigismund's demand to name Count Hermann of Cilli, one of most powerful Hungarian nobles, as his heir. The alliance with Hungary was delayed, however, because of Hungarian failures against Hussites in Bohemia. After punishing Serbia for dealing with Hungarians, Ottomans sent another raiding expedition into Bosnia in 1426. Determined to ally with Hungary, Tvrtko II named Hermann of Cilli heir to the Bosnian throne if Tvrtko dies without a heir or his heir dies without one. In 1428, Tvrtko II got even closer to his goals by marrying daughter of a Hungarian noble.

Emperor Sigismund, as well as the Polish King Jagiello and Lithuanian Grand Duke Vytautas were the major participants. During the meeting the Emperor offered a crown of independent Kingdom of Lithuania to Vitautas. Jagiello apparently agreed, but after the uproar in the Polish camp, he quickly rescinded his agreement and hastily left the meeting together with Polish nobles. Soon after, Jagiello offered Polish crown to Vytautas citing poor health and inability to rule, which Emperor Sigismund agreed to.

Description

Kingdom of Bosnia was a chaotic realms where dukes constantly battle each other for territories. The most famous rivalry of that age was between Pavlovic and Kosaca families. After a quiet period, the rivalry revived when Duke Radoslav Pavlovic attacked and defeated the Republic of Ragusa because they tried to turn Cavtat, a town they bought from him, into a fortress. Duke Sandalj Hranic Kosaca immediately intervened on Ragusan side and attacked his archrival. King Tvrtko II was mostly helpless to solve the dispute. Since Duke Sandalj had the support of the Ottomans, Duke Radoslav asked Despot Djuradj of Serbia to broker peace. At almost the same time, King Tvrtko II went to war with Zlatonosovic family in eastern Bosnia. Since they were friends of Duke Sandalj and Serbian Despot, King Tvrtko II decided to throw his lot with Duke Radoslav. A real civil war started in Bosnia. As Kings faction began to loose the war, treacherous Duke Radoslav switched sides and joined the Serbian Despot's camp in 1433. This coalition of Serbian Despot and Bosnian Dukes put forth their own candidate for Tvrtko's replacement: Radivoj. The hostilities temporarily ceased when Emperor Sigismund announced his support for King Tvrtko II and Despot Djuradj withdrew from the conflict. Hungarian army arrived as promised in 1434 and changed the tide of the battle. Coalition of rebellious Dukes was defeated and forts held by Ottomans liberated. Duke Sandalj was crushed by Duke Djuradj Vojsalic, who joined forces with King Tvrtko II when Hungarian army arrived, and died from illness in March 1435. King Tvrtko traveled to Hungary to swear vassalage to Emperor Sigismund. Upon his return to Bosnia, he started a campaign together with Duke Radoslav Pavlovic to destroy Stepan Vukcic, the new Duke Kosaca. King Tvtrko II was also aided by Croatian Princes Ivan and Stepan Frankopan who acted on the orders of Emperor Sigismund. Ottomans intervened on the behalf of Stepan Vukcic and reconquered one of the forts in Bosnia holding it against Hungarian troops until the end of the conflict. In 1436, Ivan Frankopan is denied the succession of the estates that belonged to his late father-in-law and switches sides to join Duke Stepan Vukcic. Hungarian army defeated and probably killed Ivan Frankopan. King Tvrtko II realized that he will not be able to expel the Turks from Bosnia and crush Stepan Vukcic, so he renewed his oath to Ottoman Sultan and reconciled with his enemy. Together with Stepan Vukcic and the Ottoman forces, the King turned on Duke Radoslav and utterly defeated him in 1438.

An additional objective is the organization of Crusades against the Ottoman Turks, who had overrun most of the Balkan peninsula. On February 8, 1431, Vlad, henceforth known as Vlad Dracul, or the Dragon, was inducted in this order along with King Ladislas of Poland and Prince Lazarevic of Serbia. In addition, the Holy Roman Emperor has invested Vlad Dracul as the sovereign ruler of the Princedom of Wallachia. Dracul made good his claim by expelling Alexandru during the winter of 1436, and taking the throne.

Description

In 1439 Albrecht of Habsburg, King of Hungary, fell ill, probably of cholera, while campaigning against the Ottomans. Within one month he died, leaving two minor daughters and his pregnant wife Elizabeth. For the case of the unborn child being male, Albrecht declared that his son would be his successor in all his fiefs just before his death. Based on this will, Elizabeth attempted to get the Parliament to appoint her Queen Regent for her unborn baby. Still feeling menaced by the Ottomans, a majority of the Diet consisting mostly of the middle and lower nobility however did not want to trust the country's fortune upon a woman and an unborn child and, led by the Transylvanian noble Janos Hunyadi, desired an adult King with a decent powerbase instead. It was Hunyadi who proposed the most obvious choice, Wladyslaw III, King of the other big Christian Kingdom in East Europe, Poland. Initially with the consent of Elizabeth, deputies of the Diet approached the nineteen-year-old Wladyslaw in Krakow and offered him the Hungarian crown. Meanwhile, Elizabeth gave birth to a son, the male heir Albrecht and she had hoped for, and called him Ladislaus. Since then, she was determined to secure the throne for her child and thus withdrew her approval of the offer to the Polish King. But instructed by Hunyadi and other magnates, negotiations continued. When Wladyslaw eventually accepted the proferred throne on March 8th 1440 and everything seemed ready for his coronation and the union of the two Kingdoms, Elizabeth fled Hungary to Austria with her son and the stolen Holy crown of Hungary. She had Ladislaus crowned King in Székesfehérvár on May 1st, more than two months before Wladyslaw's coronation on July 17th. The scene was set for a civil war between the supporters of Elizabeth and Ladislaus, called 'Loyalists' who were strongest in Western Hungary and Slovakia and championed by Ulrich of Cilli on the one side and the supporters of Wladyslaw, the 'Nationalists', based largely in the East and Transylvania and led by Janos Hunyadi, on the other.

Description

When the conflict between Loyalists, who supported the rightful infante King Ladislaus Postumus, son of late Emperor Albrecht I, and Nationalists who wanted to install Polish King Wladyslaw, Despot Djuradj was not in a position to choose sides. His daughter's marriage with Ulrich II of Cilli, leader of Loyalist faction, already made his decision for him. Although Djuradj wasn't in a position to offer much active support to Ulrich's faction, Count of Cilli still maintained good relationships with his father-in-law. Unable to help his son-in-law and also unable to win King Wladyslaw's favor, Despot Djuradj turned to Republics of Venice and Ragusa for help, but both refused. His flight to Venice antagonized both Hungarians and Ottomans. King Wladyslaw seized Djuradj's estates in Hungary, while the Ottoman Sultan blinded his sons Grgur, who lead the Serbian unit in Ottoman army, and Stevan who was captured when Smederevo fell to Turks. However, King Wladyslaw came to understand the threat Ottomans represented and the small but significant aid the buffer Despotate of Serbia can provide. After spending some time fighting for the Venetians in Zeta, Despot Djuradj traveled back to Hungary to make peace and alliance against Ottomans with the new King. He succeeded, aided by their joint fear of Turks and help of Janko Hunyadi, a Wallachian noble and the leader of Nationalists who also served in the army of Stefan Lazarevic.

Description

After King Wladyslaw managed to pacify the opposition Hungary, he turned his attention to the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, this problem was brought more closely into the attention of other Christian powers. Knights of Saint John, remnants of the Byzantine Empire and Republic of Ragusa were the most active in demands for coordinated offensive against the Turks. The dynastic civil war in Ottoman Empire made these initiatives sound more realistic than before. Pope's first reaction was to send Cardinal Julian Cesarini to aid the pacification of Wladyslaw's opponents in Hungary. Between Cesarini's splendid efforts and Hunyadi's great military leadership, Hungary was more ready for war than ever. Hunyadi won his first crushing vicotory against an invading Ottoman army in Hungary in 1442, and already in 1443 he broke the 80000-strong Ottoman army in Wallachia. These victories and the news of Ottoman defeat against Karaman greatly emboldened the Christian monarchs. Just after Hunyadi's victory in Wallachia, the Pope decided to aid the war effort with a fifth of his annual income. In June 1443, an army of 25,000 with focus on cavalry headed south to attack the Ottomans in Serbia. The army was lead by King Wladyslaw himself and his most loyal vassals: Janos Hunyadi, Djuradj Brankovic and Dracul. In November, Janos Hunyadi lead the charge of 12000 Hungarian knights that completely broke the Ottoman army near Nis. Sofia fell to Christian forces in December. The winter stop the Christian invasion and tired Hungarian soldiers returned to their Kingdom in January 1444. Invasion resumed in June 1444, aided by a fleet made of Venetian and Papal galleys, with Burgundian fleet on its way.

Elizabeth of Luxemburg, the mother of Ladislaus Postumus, who had tried to secure the Hungarian throne for her son against Wladyslaw III of Poland, died on December 13th 1443. With Emperor Friedrich V lacking the energy and ability to continue the efforts for the crown of St. Stephen, the Pope encouraging a settlement that would allow for a Hungarian crusade against the Ottomans and fortune in battle against the supporters of Ladislaus, the succession conflict in Hungarian was practically ended by this.

Plagued with internal conflicts and wars in the east, Sultan Murad II offered to negotiate a peace as soon as the crusade was resumed in 1444. King Wladyslaw was against signing peace when the war was going so well, but he changed his mind after being persuaded by Janos Hunyadi and Djuradj Brankovic. Peace of Szeged was signed in which Sultan Murad II agreed to restore the Despotate of Serbia as dual vassal, to pay a compensation to Hungary and to aid the Hungarian King with an army of 25,000 soldiers against his enemies during the next ten years.

Peace of Szeged was very badly received by the Catholic world. For them, especially those who didn't take part in the war, the peace was an end of a glorious conquest and great success for Christianity.

Will happen on April 2, 1445

Description

When the country was about to disintegrate, Janos Hunyadi took the initiative and managed to convene a NationalDiet in April 1445. The measure of the crisis can be judged by the fact that for the first time ever Hungarian Towns were represented. Pointing out the necessity of united action against the Ottomans, Hunyadi achieved a settlement. The former supporters of Ulászló acknowledged Ladislaus Postumus as rightful King and the Diet demanded Emperor Friedrich V to turn over Ladislaus, who was kept in Vienna, and the Holy Crown of St. Stephen to the Hungarian people. Until the return of Ladislaus seven 'Captains' elected by the Diet were to rule the country and to restore law and order. Hunyadi was the first and most powerful of these Captains and five of the rest were his supporters. Only the final man to make up the seven was not one of his choice. The Hussite mercenary captain Jan Jiskra had built such a strong base in Slovakia and surrounding districts that he could not be ignored if the Diet and Hunyadi did not want to have to fight him immediately. Despite the balance of power being firmly in favour of Hunyadi and his peers this temporary solution worked very well. Even most of the magnates who had been hostile towards Ulászló and Hunyadi did at this time not want to risk the Kingdom's very existance. In the following year, peace was maintained and relative stability restored.

  • Event 188095 - End of civil war for Hungary has already occurred

Will happen on June 2, 1446

Description

The settlement achieved at the National Diet of 1444 was quite successful in stabilising the country, but the Captains managed neither to get Friedrich V to release Ladislaus Postumus nor to recover control over the parts of Upper Hungary seized by Jan Jizkra who refused to cooperate despite being one of the seven captains. A more permanent solution was needed and a new diet summoned at Pest in June 1446. Hunyadi's supporters among the populace and the lesser nobility very vocally demanded his appointment as Royal Regent, leaving the Diet with little choice, and Hunyadi was elected Gubernator of Hungary for as long as it would take to free Ladislaus, deliberately passing over the Palatine László Garai. The other magnates, distrustful of Hunyadi who had risen from a country squire to the most important person in Hungary within ten years, and envying him for his power and popularity, managed to install several limitations on Hunyadi's authority. A regency council, composed mostly of opponents of Hunyadi, was to 'assist' him in his duties, Garai stayed Palatine and kept some power and themagnates during the regency used every opportunity to resist Hunyadi and stall his measures. Nevertheless Hunyadi at the same Diet and another in 1447 got a whole series of popular reforms passed, e.g. the decree ordering the demolition of the new castles, most of them little better than robber-strongholds, the decree compelling the great officers of state to suspend their functions during the session of the diet, the decree declaring illegal the new fashion of forming confederations afterthe Polish model, all of which measures were obviously directed against the tyranny and the lawlessness of the oligarchy. Due to the resistance of the magnates and wars against the Ottomans and Jizkra, most of these measures remained dead letter, but still some of them had the intended effect.

Description

Janos Hunyadi, the only leader of the Christian armies that survived the Battle of Varna, now hated the Turks with great passion. As soon as he was name the Guvernor of Hungary, he started preparing for another invasion of Turkish lands. Unlike King Wladyslaw, Janos Hunyadi failed to secure support of other Catholic monarchs and his vassals. The Pope refused to support Hunyadi's initiative until he settles his disputed with Emperor Friedrich III. Venice was too busy with their own problems both in the Balkans and in Italy, so they were more inclined to ally with Turks than to fight them. Aragonese King ignored Hunyadi's call for help completely. Djuradj Brankovic of Serbia, like in the Second Crusade, decided to stay neutral. Only Skanderbeg of Albania joined Hunyadi in his war. Hunyadi had an army of 70000, mostly cavalry, and met an even larger Turkish army lead by the Sultan himself. Thanks to unconnected betrayals of Djuradj Brankovic of Serbia and Dan of Wallachia, Hungarian army was dispersed and 17000 knights lost their lives.

Description

After the death of Ladislaus Postumus, the time had come for a national King. Despite the magnates' hostility towards his family and several foreign candidates, there was overwhelming popular support for the only surviving son of Janos Hunyadi whose deeds were kindly remembered, Mathias. The 17-year-old had apparently inherited his father's talents in full measure. Besides, his uncle Mihály Szilâgyi had quickly assumed control of the country at the head of 15,000 veterans who had served under Janos Hunyadi. On January 24th 1458, 40,000 Hungarian nobles assembled on the frozen ice of the Danube and unanimously elected Mathias, who soon received the surname 'Corvinus' from the raven on his escutcheon, King of Hungary.

Description

Serbia was annexed by the Ottoman Empire in 1459. As a consequence, many Serbs fled north, to the Kingdom of Hungary. Matthias Corvinus gladly welcomed these refugees and let them settle in the southern border districts. Since they were outside Hungarian laws for troop raising, they made for a new reliable army at the hands of the King. The new levy of soldiers based on the refugee Serbs became an impressive light cavalry force, used mainly for raids and counter-raids against the Ottomans and Austria, but also very useful in battle, that was soon known as Hussars. In the following centuries, the Hussars were the world's most famous and respected cavalry units. The Serb refugees were also of immense value for the defense of the Hungarian border.

Description

After rising to the throne, Mathias Corvinus soon realized that he needed a permanent, well-trained military force with its loyalty attached personally to him in order to consolidate his power and to stand a chance against the Bohemian Hussites and Ottoman Janissaries. He found excellent material for this new army in the troops of the Hussite mercenaries Jan Vitovec and Jan Jizkra who had seized Hungarian lands during the reign of Ladislaus Postumus. By making them Hungarian nobles and army commanders, he achieved a settlement with them, recovering the lands and taking most of their men into his service. Of these troops who had been trained in the most modern Hussite tactics he formed the 'Fekete Sereg' (Black Brigade), named after the colour of its armour, an elite troop of 6000 soldiers that was to become the backbone of his army.

Description

The revolt of the North Hungarian nobles intending to put Emperor Friedrich III on the Hungarian throne was quickly crushed, lacking support among the populace. When Matthias had also secured peace with Jiri Podiebrad of Bohemia, he was about to threaten Austria. Therefore Friedrich III gladly agreed to Mathias' offer of paying a ransom of 60000 ducats for the holy crown of St. Stephen, letting Austria retain the border districts it had controlled since 1444, ceding the city of Sopron and allowing Friedrich to use the title of Hungarian King in exchange for abandoning his claim to the Kingdom of Hungary.

Description

In 1459 Mathias Corvinus began ambitious reforms of the Hungarian army that he intended to make equal to the Ottoman and Hussite military by implementing modern tactics and organization. Instead of relying on the feudal banderia, he created permanent forces. Besides his elite troops, the Black Brigade and the Hussars, from 1465 on he created a large standing army by enlistment in Hungary and Croatia. This army was efficiently organized, led by a regular commissariat and provided with canons and ballistic machines. It did not only provide Corvinus with military power for his numerous campaigns, but also served as a police force and a civilizing medium, forcefully suppressing the lawlessness of the Hungarian nobility and collecting taxes from defiant nobles.

Description

During his reign, Mathias Corvinus quite significantly changed the Hungarian state and society. He managed to increase the royal income dramatically by making the poorer members of the Diet who were unable to attend it regularly agree to grant taxes several years in advance, outmaneuvering the high nobility, by establishing a regular, functional system of tax collection and by having the treasury administered by specialists with separate functions. Instead of trying to impose much-needed reforms without the consent of the Diet, he managed to reach an agreement with most of the deputies, especially of the lower nobility and the towns, so that he could pass 450 new statutes in a fully legal, unquestionable way. In these statutes, he codified and modernized Hungarian law and state organization. Several laws protected the towns and peasantry from encroachments of the higher classes, he tried to introduce a jurisdiction judging irrespective of status and simplified almost all branches of law, which gained him the epithet of 'the Just'. A new official class, appointed only by ability and merit, helped him enact these policies.

Description

Jiriz Podiebrad, King of Bohemia, was an Utraquist, a member of the moderate wing of the heretic Hussite movement. Despite having promised to return to the catholic church and to suppress heresy in Bohemia to the Pope before his election, he openly favoured the Hussites and showed hardly any intention to abandon his faith. Pope Pius II, determined to fight Hussitism, condemned Podiebrad's heretic attitude more and more vocally and encouraged an uprising of the catholic nobility in 1465. In order to back the rebels and depose Podiebrad, Pius' successor Paul II excommunicated the Bohemian King on December 23rd 1466, released all his subjects from their oaths of allegiance and searched for a reliably catholic prince who would drive him away and take the Bohemian throne. After Friedrich II of Brandenburg's refusal to champion the campaign, Pius turned to Matthias Corvinus of Hungary. Betraying his former ally Podiebrad, Matthias accepted and invaded Moravia.

Heeding the advice of the Humanist Cardinal Janos Vitéz and being a big supporter of arts, science and education himself, Mathias Corvinus decided to found a second university, besides the already existing one in Pécs, in the Slovak city of Prešporok (called Poszony by the Hungarians). He obtained the approval of Pope Paul II in 1465 and the Academia Istropolitana - Istropolis is the latin name of Prešporok - was officially opened on July 20th 1467. It had four faculties, Arts, Theology, Law and Medicine, and soon became the cultural center of Slovakia and the focal point of Hungarian humanism.

Description

Janus Pannonius (1434 - 1472) is widely considered the first significant Hungarian poet. His uncle, János Vitéz, Bishop of Várad, sent him to Ferrarra, where, besides rhetoric, Greek, Latin, philosophy, and poetics, Pannonius was also trained as a diplomat. He later went to Padua where he became a friend of Galeotto Marzio - Mantegna painted a portrait of the two which has unfortunately been lost. Pannonius' sharp witted poetry like 'One for Pope Paul': 'Rome, do not ask for the Pontiff Paul to be testicle-tested!/ Isn't his daughter herself manly enough, like her Dad?' made him famous throughout Italy. Pannonius earned his doctorate in 1458 and returned to Hungary to serve as personal secretary to King Mattias Corvinus. In 1459 he became Bishop of Pécs. He devoted most of his time as Bishop to political writings. He was later appointed Head Chamberlain to the Queen and then sent to Rome to consult with the Pope about the Turkish threat. In 1468 he accompanied the King on his war in Morava and around 1470 he was made Palatine in charge of southern Hungary and Slavonia. The King, however, soon distanced himself from Janus which caused the poet to join a conspiracy against the King which was quickly quashed. Pannonius died in the castle of his friends the Brothers Thuz near Zagreb. King Corvinus then collected his poetry for inclusion in the King's library - the Corvinae.

Description

Even after the death of Jiri Podiebrad and the election of Vladislav Jagiello, warfare between Bohemia and Matthias Corvinus of Hungary who maintained his claim to the Bohemian throne continued. With Polish support Bohemia eventually managed to gain the upper hand. Realizing this both parties agreed on a peace in Olmütz which came into effect in 1478. By the treaty, Corvinus was forced to gave up his claims on Bohemia.

Description

About a decade after the treaty of Sopron that had concluded their first clash, the conflict between Mathias Corvinus and Emperor Friedrich III was sparked again by several relatively minor incidents. Both were deeply distrustful of each other, Friedrich accusing Mathias of maintaining a secret agreement with the Ottomans and letting their raiding troops pass through Hungarian lands for their invasions of Austria. When Mathias was still fighting Vladislav Jagiello of Bohemia to gain the Bohemian throne - that he had been promised by the Pope -, Friedrich formally recognized Vladislav as King of Bohemia and elector of the Holy Roman Empire. The rivaly deteriorated into a personal feud after Friedrich in 1477 had given sanctuary to one of Mathias' advisors, Johann Beckenschlager, the Archbishop of Esztergom, who had left Hungary because of a disagreement with Corvinus. This caused Mathias to invade Austria and siege Vienna, which made Friedrich grudgingly accept a truce by which he acknowledged Corvinus as Bohemian King and promised to abandon his support for Beckenschlager. However only two years later Friedrich got Beckenschlager elected Archbishop of Salzburg. Mathias decided this provocation was too much, and began a determined invasion of Austria and Styria with the goal to humiliate Friedrich and expand his territory.

Description

In the last years of his reign Mathias Corvinus tried to ensure the succession of his highly gifted, but illegitimate son Janos, made him the largest landholder in Hungary after the King by several grants of territory, put him in charge of several of the strongest and most important fortresses, gave him the holy crown of St. Stephen and got a majority of the royal council to support Janos. However Mathias died of a stroke before the matter was definitely secured, and the young, inexperienced Janos was soon deprived of his rights and his property by the Hungarian magnates who were fed up with the strong central rule introduced by Mathias and desired a monarch 'whose beard they could hold in their fists'. Such a candidate was found in Vladislav Jagiello, King of Bohemia since 1471. Called 'King All Right' by his Bohemian subjects because of his weakness, irresoluteness and saying yes to everything, obviously completely incompetent for ruling a Kingdom and having already initiated a rapid decline of Bohemia, he was the easily controllable puppet King the magnates were looking for. Vladislav was elected King on July 5th 1490 and immediately thereafter accepted the compact of Farkashida in which he confirmed all existing privileges of the nobility and took back all legal and administrative reforms, including the efficient system of taxation regarded as repressive by the magnates. After 3 decades of prosperity and modernisation, the election of Vladislav initiated a rapid decline, ending up in the disaster of Mohacs. Another candidate to the throne was Maximilian of Habsburg who maintained the claim of his father Friedrich III, but since he had already proven to be a capable ruler and would have been likely to use his powerbase in the Empire, Austria and Burgundy to consolidate his authority in Hungary, he was no popular choice. Had Janos Corvinus indeed managed to become King, he might have continued the achievements of his father, but would have been violently opposed by the powerful magnates.

Description

Lajos II (Louis), King of Hungary, Bohemia, and Croatia, was the last of the Jagiello dynasty in the two Kingdoms. While riding with his companions on a hunting trip, King Lajos fell off his horse after it was suddenly startled, causing him to break his neck. Lajos left no direct heir. The Diet, Hungary's Parliament, convened to decide who would be the dead King's successor. Two factions formed around the candidates who were most likely to succeed him. The first was Louis's brother-in-law, Ferdinand of Habsburg, and the other was János Zápolya of Transylvania. Ferdinand's claim was supported by Spain, Bohemia, England and the Papacy, while France, the Ottoman Empire, and Poland backed Zápolya. The Diet voted to give Zápolya the crowns of Hungary and Croatia. Ferdinand lauched a lightning campaign against the disorganized Kingdom, and managed to secure a portion of it for himself.

Zápolya's reign was contested from the very beginning. In 1538, Zápolya had secretly promised Ferdinand of Austria the Hungarian crown in order to buy peace. In 1540, while putting down a revolt in Transylvania, János died from illness, just three weeks after his Polish princess-bride had given him a son, János Sigusmund. With Zapolya's death, Ferdinand again invaded Hungary to try to claim his inheritance.

Description

In 1604 Rudolf I (1552-1612) was intent on re-imposing Catholicism on the Hungarians, provoking their first popular insurrection against Habsburg rule. The insurrectionists found a leader in István Bocskai (1557--1606), prince of Transylvania in 1605 and 1606, who fused the popular forces with his own army. Already at war with the Turks, the Habsburgs now faced an uncompromising civil war. A threefold settlement was finally forced on the dynasty: the Treaties of Vienna and Zsitvatorok of 1606 and the legislation of the Hungarian diet of 1608. Together these secured for Hungary religious freedom, constitutional autonomy, and the right of habeas corpus.

They decided to pledge to protect Serbia against all her enemies, never to order their armies to pass through Serbia unless allowed to do so by Serbian Despot, to pay 100000 ducats of compensation and to return to Djuradj all his estates in Hungary except those that will be given to Hunyadi as dowry of Djuradj's granddaughter Jelisaveta, daughter of late Ulrich II of Cilli, who was to marry one of Hunyadi's sons.

Even after the death of Jiri Podiebrad and the election of Vladislav Jagiello, warfare between Bohemia and Matthias Corvinus of Hungary who maintained his claim to the Bohemian throne continued. Despite Polish support for Bohemia, no side eventually managed to gain the upper hand: while Matthias failed in all his attempts to invade Bohemia proper and was threatened by Hungarian rebels and Friedrich III, the lands of the Bohemian crown, Silesia, Moravia and Lusatia, were almost completely occupied by him and could, despite several determined attacks, never be recovered. Realizing this, and desiring to secure their positions, both parties agreed on a peace in Olmütz which came into effect in 1478. By the treaty, Corvinus was to retain the lands of the Bohemian crown until his death when Bohemia could buy them back for 400.000 Florins and was allowed to style himself King of Bohemia in these lands, but gave up his claim on the rest of Bohemia.

By 1461 the crusade had made no progress so Pius asked Mehmed II to convert. Since that didn't work either, he decided to lead the crusade himself despite being ill. France was at odds with the Pope, Burgundy delayed their help, Milan was trying to seize Genoa, and Florence cynically advised the Pope to let the Turks and the Venetians wear each other out. But the Venetians and the Hungarians signed their support in 1463. Thousands of destitute men from all of Europe came to the Pope's call and he led them to Ancona in the summer of 1464, where he became very ill. While waiting for the Venetian fleet, plague broke out and the crusade army melted away. On August 14, when the Venetians finally arrived, the Pope expired. Doge Christoforo Moro seeing no army and no fleet but his 12 galleys, returned home. This time however the Venetians have chosen to continue the crusade.

In 1540, while putting down a revolt in Transylvania, János died from illness, just three weeks after his Polish princess-bride had given him a son, János Sigusmund. With Zapolya's death, Ferdinand again invaded Hungary to try to claim his inheritance. Finally the Ottoman Sultan, having had enough with the chaos in his vassal, Hungary, split the country into three parts. He kept Southern and Central Hungary for himself, giving Eastern Hungary to János Sigusmund, while Ferdinand held the Western portion. Hungary would remain divided between the three countries for the next 170 years.

Despite a guarantee of safe-conduct by Emperor Sigismund, he was executed at the stake for heresy at the Council of Constance in 1415. This could however not stop the Hussite movement in Bohemia. Hus' followers were rapidly growing, and when King Vaclav IV of Bohemia died and his brother Sigismund, already Emperor and King of Hungary was to succeed him, they, unwilling to forgive him the betrayal of Hus and afraid that he would suppress them, refused to acknowledge him and gained control of most of Bohemia proper - while the lands of the Bohemian crown and the catholic part of Bohemia accepted Sigismund. Due to its radical anti-clerical and anti-feudal tendencies Hussitism posed a big threat to the church and nobility in the countries adjacent to Bohemia. Several German and European princes therefore decided to oppose the Hussites and to support Sigismund in his struggle with them that lasted for almost two decades. Should we decide to fight these heretics, we should be aware that this would be internationally regarded as an intervention in favour of Sigismund as rightful King of Bohemia rather than a war of conquest, and that therefore, if Sigismund prevails and manages to restore royal authority, we would be expected to turn over any conquests in Bohemia to the Kingdom of Bohemia.

Conditions

• Monarch Mátyás Corvin is active

Description

Throughout the reign of Mathias Corvinus, there were numerous rebellions of the nobility, angry about the loss of their privileges, the increased taxes and greater royal authority. Every once in a while, some barons and prelates would assemble and plan his deposition while he was busy elsewhere. All these attempts were quickly crushed when Mathias arrived like a tempest with his royal troops and scattered the rebels. Nevertheless, the constant occupation with dissent in Hungary prevented him from obtaining even greater military successes in his campaigns against Bohemia and Austria.
