Stephen of Anjou
Stephen (20 August 1332 – 9 August 1354) was a Hungarian royal prince of the Capetian House of Anjou.
He was the youngest son of Charles I of Hungary and Elizabeth of Poland to survive childhood.
He was styled as duke of Slavonia from 1339 to 1346, but he had no role in the government of the province.
Stephen's separate household was set up in 1349.
In this year, he received the counties of Szepes and Sáros from his brother, Louis I of Hungary.
Louis made him duke of Transylvania in late 1349, but soon appointed him to administer Slavonia.
Stephen was regarded his childless brother's heir.
He and his mother governed the kingdom during Louis's first campaign of Naples in 1350.
Late in the same year, Stephen was again made duke of Transylvania, but from 1352 to 1353 he was styled duke of Szepes and Sáros.
Thereafter, he was entrusted with the administration of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia.
He died on his return from a campaign against Serbia.
His infant son, John, inherited his duchy.
Richardis of Jülich
Richardis of Jülich( 1314–1360) was a daughter of Gerhard V of Jülich and Elisabeth of Brabant- Aarschot.
She married Otto IV, Duke of Lower Bavaria, son of Stephen I, Duke of Bavaria, with whom she had one child: Albert of Wittelsbach, who was born in 1332.
He predeceased his father.
Her husband died in 1334.
Stephen V of Hungary
Stephen V( before 18 October 1239 – 6 August 1272, Csepel Island) was King of Hungary and Croatia between 1270 and 1272, and Duke of Styria from 1258 to 1260.
He was the oldest son of King Béla IV and Maria Laskarina.
King Béla had his son crowned king at the age of six and appointed him Duke of Slavonia.
Still a child, Stephen married Elizabeth, a daughter of a chieftain of the Cumans whom his father settled in the Great Hungarian Plain.
King Béla appointed Stephen Duke of Transylvania in 1257 and Duke of Styria in 1258.
The local noblemen in Styria, which had been annexed four years before, opposed his rule.
Assisted by King Ottokar II of Bohemia, they rebelled and expelled Stephen's troops from most parts of Styria.
After Ottokar II routed the united army of Stephen and his father in the Battle of Kressenbrunn on 12 July 1260, Stephen left Styria and returned to Transylvania.
Stephen forced his father to cede all the lands of the Kingdom of Hungary to the east of the Danube to him and adopted the title of junior king in 1262.
In two years, a civil war broke out between father and son, because Stephen accused Béla of planning to disinherit him.
They concluded a peace treaty in 1266, but confidence was never restored between them.
Stephen succeeded his father, who died on 3 May 1270, without difficulties, but his sister Anna and his father's closest advisors fled to the Kingdom of Bohemia.
Ottokar II invaded Hungary in the spring of 1271, but Stephen routed him.
In next summer, a rebellious lord captured and imprisoned Stephen's son, Ladislaus.
Shortly thereafter, Stephen unexpectedly fell ill and died.
Leopold II, Duke of Austria
Leopold II, Duke of Austria( 1328 – 10 August 1344), a member of the House of Habsburg, was the younger son of Duke Otto the Merry.
The sons of Otto by his first wife, Elizabeth of Bavaria, a daughter of Stephen I, Duke of Bavaria by his marriage to Jutta of Schweidnitz, after their father's death in 1339 Leopold and his brother Frederick II( 1327 – 1344) were both titular Dukes of Austria, but both died before coming of age.
On 10 August 1344, at the age of sixteen, Leopold died suddenly.
On 11 December 1344, four months later, his brother Frederick also suddenly died.
In both cases, there were suspicions of poisoning.
The beneficiary of their deaths was their uncle Albert II, Duke of Austria, the brother of Otto, who continued to rule Austria until his death in 1358.
Andrew, Duke of Slavonia
Andrew, Duke of Slavonia( 1268 – 1278) was the youngest son of King Stephen V of Hungary and his wife, Elizabeth the Cuman.
Two rebellious lords kidnapped him in 1274 in an attempt to play him off against his brother, Ladislaus IV of Hungary, but the king's supporters liberated him.
He was styled" Duke of Slavonia and Croatia" in a 1274 letter.
Years after his death( in 1290 and in 1317), two adventurers claimed to be identical with Andrew, but both failed.
Frederick, Duke of Bavaria
Frederick( 1339 – 4 December 1393) was Duke of Bavaria from 1375.
He was the second son of Stephen II and Elizabeth of Sicily.
Elizabeth of Slavonia
Elizabeth of Slavonia( 1352 – before 1380), member of the Hungarian branch of the Capetian House of Anjou, was the heir presumptive to the Hungarian throne between 1360 and 1370.
Elizabeth was the only daughter of Stephen, Duke of Slavonia, a younger son of the Hungarian king Charles I.
Her mother was Margaret of Bavaria, and her only known sibling John, Duke of Slavonia( 1354 – 1360).
Elizabeth was regarded as heir presumptive to the throne of Hungary after the death of her brother, as her uncle Louis I had no children.
Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor, wanted her to marry his eldest son, Wenceslaus.
However, the marriage negotiations were ended in 1370, when a daughter named Catherine was born to Elizabeth's uncle.
Catherine was followed by two sisters, which meant that Elizabeth would not inherit the Holy Crown of Hungary.
In October 1370, Elizabeth married Philip II, Prince of Taranto, a 41- year- old widower and pretender to the Latin Empire.
Philip had survived his children by his previous marriage and was in need of heirs.
As her dower, Elizabeth was granted Corfu as a personal fief.
Their only known child, a son named Philip, was born in 1371 and died the same year.
Elizabeth was widowed on 25 November 1374.
She appears to have died before the end of the 1380s.
Catherine of Bosnia, Baness of Slavonia
Catherine Kotromanić Babonić(? – after 1310) was Princess of Bosnia and Baness of Slavonia by marriage.
Catherine was child of Prijezda I Kotromanić and his wife Elizabeth of Slavonia.
Her brothers were Vuk, Prijezda and Stephen.
Catherine was married to Stpehen III Babonić.
They had two sons: Catherine and her husband were given Zemunik Fortress in Vrbas area by Prijezda I in spring 1287.
Catherine was Baness of Slavonia from 1310 to 1316.
Charles I of Hungary
Charles I, also known as Charles Robert (128816 July 1342) was King of Hungary and Croatia from 1308 to his death.
He was a member of the Capetian House of Anjou and the only son of Charles Martel, Prince of Salerno.
His father was the eldest son of Charles II of Naples and Mary of Hungary.
She laid claim to Hungary after her brother, Ladislaus IV of Hungary, died in 1290, but the Hungarian prelates and lords elected her cousin, Andrew III, king.
Instead of abandoning her claim to Hungary, she transferred it to her son, Charles Martel, and after his death in 1295, to her grandson, Charles.
On the other hand, her husband, Charles II of Naples, made their third son, Robert, heir to the Kingdom of Naples, thus disinheriting Charles.
Charles came to the Kingdom of Hungary upon the invitation of an influential Croatian lord, Paul Šubić, in August 1300.
Andrew III died on 14 January 1301, and within four months Charles was crowned king, but with a provisional crown instead of the Holy Crown of Hungary.
Most Hungarian noblemen refused to yield to him and elected Wenceslaus of Bohemia king.
Charles withdrew to the southern regions of the kingdom.
Pope Boniface VIII acknowledged Charles as the lawful king in 1303, but Charles was unable to strengthen his position against his opponent.
Wenceslaus abdicated in favor of Otto of Bavaria in 1305.
Because it had no central government, the Kingdom of Hungary had disintegrated into a dozen provinces, each headed by a powerful nobleman, or oligarch.
One of those oligarchs, Ladislaus III Kán, captured and imprisoned Otto of Bavaria in 1307.
Charles was elected king in Pest on 27 November 1308, but his rule remained nominal in most parts of his kingdom even after he was crowned with the Holy Crown on 27 August 1310.
Charles won his first decisive victory in the Battle of Rozgony (at present-day Rozhanovce in Slovakia) on 15 June 1312.
After that his troops seized most fortresses of the powerful Aba family.
During the next decade, Charles restored royal power primarily with the assistance of the prelates and lesser noblemen in most regions of the kingdom.
After the death of the most powerful oligarch, Matthew Csák, in 1321, Charles became the undisputed ruler of the whole kingdom, with the exception of Croatia where local noblemen were able to preserve their autonomous status.
He was not able to hinder the development of Wallachia into an independent principality after his defeat in the Battle of Posada in 1330.
Charles's contemporaries described his defeat in that battle as a punishment from God for his cruel revenge against the family of Felician Záh who had attempted to slaughter the royal family.
Charles rarely made perpetual land grants, instead introducing a system of "office fiefs", whereby his officials enjoyed significant revenues, but only for the time they held a royal office, which ensured their loyalty.
In the second half of his reign, Charles did not hold Diets and administered his kingdom with absolute power.
He established the Order of Saint George, which was the first secular order of knights.
He promoted the opening of new gold mines, which made Hungary the largest producer of gold in Europe.
The first Hungarian gold coins were minted during his reign.
At the congress of Visegrád in 1335, he mediated a reconciliation between two neighboring monarchs, John of Bohemia and Casimir III of Poland.
Treaties signed at the same congress also contributed to the development of new commercial routes linking Hungary with Western Europe.
Charles's efforts to reunite Hungary, together with his administrative and economic reforms, established the basis for the achievements of his successor, Louis the Great.
