[184] A civil war ensued in the Ottoman Empire between his sons Bayezid II and Cem. [188] Matthias also forced Victor of Poděbrady to renounce the Duchy of Troppau in Silesia in favour of John Corvinus in 1485. Edward Cater Kempston, Bedfordshire, England - bef 24 Feb 1668 last edited 6 Feb 2019. [22], Matthias was held in captivity in a small house in Buda. [218] The next day he was unable to speak. [119] Matthias declared war on Victor's father King George of Bohemia on 31 March. [132] In 1481, for a loan of 100,000 florins, Matthias seized the town of Mautern in Styria and Sankt Pölten in Lower Austria from Friedrich Mauerkircher, one of the two candidates to the Bishopric of Passau. [32] The Pope soon offered financial support for an anti-Ottoman campaign. Matthias signed a peace treaty with Frederick III in 1463, acknowledging the Emperor's right to style himself King of Hungary. [73][72], At the Diet of March 1467, two traditional taxes were renamed; the chamber's profit was thereafter collected as tax of the royal treasury and the thirtieth as the Crown's customs.

[173] Vladislaus Jagiellon denied to support the Emperor, forcing him to seek reconciliation with Matthias. [206] Bánfi's imprisonment seems to have been connected to his marriage to a daughter of John the Mad, Duke of Glogau because Matthias tried to seize this duchy for John Corvinus. [29][30] They also agreed that Matthias would marry the Palatine's daughter Anna—his executed brother's bride. [222] The earliest appearance of Renaissance style buildings and works outside Italy were in Hungary. [210] The 1482 truce between Hungary and the Ottoman Empire was prolonged for two years in 1488.

[240] Matthias also hired the Italian military engineer Aristotele Fioravanti to direct the rebuilding of the forts along the southern frontier. [61] The latter took Smederevo on 29 June, completing the conquest of Serbia. [169] According to Bonfini, Matthias also "improved his board and manner of life, introduced sumptuous banquets, disdaining humility at home and beautified the dining rooms" after his marriage.

The Emperor returned the Holy Crown of Hungary with which Matthias was crowned on 29 April 1464. [62] The rumours proved to be true because at least 30 barons—including Ladislaus Garai, Nicholas Újlaki, and Ladislaus Kanizsai—met in Németújvár (now Güssing in Austria) and offered the throne to Emperor Frederick III on 17 February 1459.

[81] In a month, the Ottomans murdered King Stephen Tomašević and conquered the whole country. [157] Although he won the Battle of Valea Albă on 26 July, the lack of provisions forced him to retreat. [154] Matthias confirmed this decision, although Tovačovský had been Vladislaus Jagiellon's partisan. [233], Matthias started at least two major building projects. [195] Matthias also decreed that in cases of the monarch's absence or minority, the Palatine was authorized to rule as Regent. [101][102] Matthias replaced the two Voivodes of Transylvania—Nicholas Újlaki and John Pongrác of Dengeleg—with Counts Sigismund and John Szentgyörgyi, and Bertold Ellerbach.

[110] Because of this change, all previous tax exemptions became void, increasing state revenues.

[248] The fame of his magnanimity encouraged many scholars—mostly Italian—to settle in Buda. [32][35][63] Although the joint troops of the Emperor and the rebellious lords defeated a royal army at Körmend on 27 March, Garai had by that time died and Újlaki soon entered into negotiations with Matthias' envoys. [216][215], Matthias participated in the lengthy Palm Sunday ceremony in Vienna in 1490, although he had felt so ill that morning that he could not eat breakfast. In 1476, Matthias besieged and seized Šabac, an important Ottoman border fort. [207], In the meantime, the citizens of Ancona, a town in the Papal States, hoisted Matthias's flag in the hope he would protect them against Venice. ...bet Lagergren, Maria Christina Lagergréen, Jonas Magnus Lagergreen, Margareta Catharina Lagergréen, Carl Johan Lagergréen, Anna Margareta...

Gerard is father of Chris Argent and Kate Argent. [3] Gregory of Sanok, a former tutor of King Vladislaus III of Poland, was Matthias's only teacher whose name is known.

[42], Jiskra was the first baron who turned against Matthias. [226][227] According to Brandolini, Matthias said a monarch "is at the head of the law and rules over it" when summing up his own concepts of state. The next year, Matthias declared war on George of Poděbrady, the Hussite King of Bohemia, and conquered Moravia, Silesia, and Lausitz, but he could not occupy Bohemia proper. [214][215] To strengthen his illegitimate son's position, Matthias even proposed withdrawing from Austria and to confirm Emperor Frederick's right to succeed him, provided the Emperor was willing to grant Croatia and Bosnia to John Corvinus with the title of king. [153] Thereafter the Silesian Estates willingly elected Matthias's new candidate Stephen Zápolya as captain-general. ...us Lagergren, Christina Elisabet Lagergren, Maria Christina Holmdahl (born Lagergren), Jonas Magnus Lagergren, Margareta Catharina Lagerg...

[9], According to a treaty between John Hunyadi and Đorđe Branković, Despot of Serbia, Matthias and the Despot's granddaughter Elizabeth of Celje were engaged on 7 August 1451.

[12][16] Ladislaus's conflict with Ulrich of Celje ended with Ulrich's capture and assassination on 9 November. [89] Hereafter the legality of Matthias's reign could not be questioned. [90] Both prelates bore the title of Chief and Secret Chancellor, but Várdai was the actual leader of the Royal Chancery. After the death of his wife, Chris claimed he gave up hunting in order to give his daughter a more normal life. These measures caused a rebellion in Transylvania in 1467, but he subdued the rebels. [199] They signed a six-month armistice in Sankt Pölten on 16 December, which ended the war. While they were introduced on the show as a group of Werewolf Hunters in Season 1, most members have since died or given up hunting. [90][116] Suspecting that Stephen the Great had supported the rebellion, Matthias invaded Moldavia. [46] The Estates passed almost fifty decrees that were ratified by Matthias—instead of the Regent—on 8 June. [281] The saying "Dead is Matthias, lost is justice" became popular soon after his death, reflecting that commoners were more likely to have received a fair trial in Matthias's reign than under his successors. [46] Matthias held more than 25 Diets during his reign and convoked the Estates more frequently than his predecessors, especially between 1458 and 1476. [200][201] Wiener Neustadt, the last town resisting Matthias in Lower Austria, fell to him on 17 August 1487. [68] George of Poděbrady sided with the Emperor, although the marriage of his daughter—who became known as Catherine in Hungary—to Matthias was celebrated on 1 May 1461. [32][43][44] They were allowed to keep Sáros Castle (now Šariš Castle, Slovakia) and other fortified places in Upper Hungary.

[171], Matthias concluded an alliance with the Teutonic Knights and the Bishopric of Ermland against Poland in March 1477.
