Stephen V inherits the whole Kingdom of …

Years: 1270 - 1270

Stephen V inherits the whole Kingdom of Hungary after his father's death on May 3, 1270, although the deceased senior king had entrusted his daughter, Anna, and his followers to King Ottokar II of Bohemia in his last will, and they had escaped to Prague before Stephen arrived to Esztergom.

Before his (second) coronation, Stephen grants the County of Esztergom to the Archbishop.

To secure foreign support, Stephen forms a double matrimonial alliance with the Angevins, chief partisans of the pope.

The first of these is the marriage, in 1270, of his twelve-year-old daughter Mary to the future King Charles II of Naples.

The second alliance is the marriage of Stephen's infant son, Ladislaus, to Charles II's sister Elisabeth.
