context_page_description: The House of Ilok, in old sources de Illoch, de Wylak, de Voilack etc., Hungarian: Újlaki was a Croatian noble family, descended in the male line from Gug, a member of the lower nobility in the region of Lower Slavonia during the 13th century.
  The Iločki, meaning "those of Ilok", rose to be a powerful and influential family in the Croato-Hungarian Kingdom during the period in the Late Middle Ages history marked by dynastic struggles for the possession of the throne and the Ottoman wars in Europe that affected the country. Notable members of the family were Bans of Croatia, Voivodes Transylvania, Palatines of Hungary, župans, king's chamberlains and king's chief retainers. One of them, Nikola Iločki, the most powerful and most famous member of the family, was nominal King of Bosnia from 1471 until 1477.
context_section_description: Ladislav Iločki (†1418) was succeeded by five of his sons: Ivan III, Stjepan III, Nikola V, Petar /Peter/ and Pavao /Paul/. The most significant and notable of them was Nikola V (*1410; †1477), Ban (viceroy) of Croatia, Slavonia, Macsó and Usora, Voivode (duke) of Transylvania and nominal King of Bosnia (1471–1477), who managed to reach the peak of family's power, wealth and influence. His seat was in the town of Ilok and during his reign Ilok experienced its "golden age".
  Having lived in turbulent times (dynastical struggles with frequent changes on the throne and continual Ottoman threat and expansion), Nikola V adjusted himself to the current circumstances, sometimes changing sides and alliances radically. After supporting king Albert's widow Elizabeth of Luxembourg and her little son Ladislaus the Posthumous in 1439, Nikola V soon took the side of the new Croato-Hungarian king Vladislaus I Jagiello. When the king lost his life in the battle of Varna in 1444, Nikola became a member of State council. On the election of Matthias Corvinus in 1458, Nikola V, like many other noblemen in the kingdom, did not recognize him as king at once, but later, as soon as they peacefully settled the dispute between them.
  In his two marriages Nikola V had eight children, among which four sons, but only one of them, Lawrence of Ilok, survived him and became his successor. Lovro III Iločki (*1459; †1524), Ban of Macsó, Herceg (duke) of Bosnia and royal judge, retained most of the power and reputation of the family. After the death of king Matthias Corvinus in 1490, he supported his illegitimate son John Corvinus to be the king, but he did not succeed. Later he allied himself with Maximilian I of Habsburg, the Holy Roman Emperor, who fought the newly elected king Vladislaus II Jagiello. However, he reconciled himself to Vladislav II in 1496 and performed several high state duties after that. Lovro had no successors, and when he died in 1524, the Iločki family became extinct.
