The Bohemian War (1468–78) begins when the Kingdom of Bohemia is invaded by the king of Hungary, Matthias Corvinus.

Matthias invades with the pretext of returning Bohemia to Catholicism; at this time, it is ruled by the Hussite king, George of Poděbrad.

Matthias' invasion is largely successful, leading to his acquisition of the southern and eastern parts of the country.

Its core lands, however, centered on Prague, are never taken.

Ultimately both Matthias and Poděbrad proclaim themselves king, though neither ever acquire all the necessary subordinate titles.

When Poděbrad dies in 1471, his successor Vladislaus II continues the fight against Matthias.

In 1478, the war ends following the treaties of Brno and the Olomouc.

Upon Matthias’s death in 1490, Vladislaus will succeed him as king of both Hungary and Bohemia.
