Years: 1396 - 1539
Some magnates had resented Hunyadi for his popularity as well as for the taxes he imposed, and they feared that his sons might seize the throne from Laszlo.
They coax the sons to return to Laszlo's court, where Hunyadi 's elder son is beheaded.
His younger son, Matyas, is imprisoned in Bohemia.
However, lesser nobles loyal to Matyas soon expel Laszlo.
After Laszlo' s death abroad, they pay ransom for Matyas, meet him on the frozen Danube River, and proclaim him king.
Known as Matyas Corvinus (1458-90), he is, with one possible exception (Janos Zapolyai), the last Hungarian king to rule the country.
