Benkő László - Mátyás fia Corvin János II. - Az oligarchák országa
2 980 Ft
Product description
The II. The oligarchs who also control King Ulaszló, Corvin's biggest enemies, do not abandon their plans to completely disable the prince and want to extort him out of his wealth.
The king keeps nothing of what he promised in exchange for the prince to abdicate in his favor. He does not agree to the coronation of Bosnians, nor does he act against those who want to destroy Corvinus.
Mátyás's son also has to fight a serious battle to achieve the title of Slavon Ban, while he is constantly attacked. The pro forma marriage with the princess of Milan, which was concluded during Mátyás's lifetime, fails because this issue also becomes the scene of international political struggles. In addition to Ulászló, foreign powers also play an active role in this.
Revolts against the oligarchs flare up again and again, and Corvin - in order not to lose everything for good - must learn to balance on the ever-changing domestic political scene.
With the death of Pope Ince, he loses the support of the Holy See. He is looking for allies in the Slavic and Dalmatian areas, but he still does not give up on uniting the entire Hungarian middle nobility, who could represent a mass base for him. He marries Count Bernardin Frangepán's daughter, Beatrice, and with the support of his father-in-law, gains Venetian citizenship.
He acts successfully against the Turks in the Croatian, Dalmatian and Bosnian regions, and the great enemy respects his military qualities more and more.
The volume presents another seven years of Prince János Corvin's life. It presents in detail the historical connections, the entanglement of the oligarchs and their methods of asserting themselves, their egoistic power to destroy the nation, the dangerous intrigues and political games in post-Mátyás Hungary and abroad.
