mary , queen of hungary

mary , also known as maria -lrb- 137117 may 1395 -rrb- , was queen regnant of hungary and croatia between 1382 to 1385 and from 1386 .
she was the older of the two daughters of louis the great , king of hungary and poland , and his wife , elizabeth of bosnia , to survive childhood .
her marriage to sigismund of luxembourg , a member of the imperial luxembourg dynasty , was decided already before her first birthday .
a delegation of the polish prelates and lords confirmed mary 's right to succeed her father in poland in 1379 .
mary was crowned `` king '' of hungary on 17 september 1382 , seven days after her father 's death .
her mother who assumed regency absolved the polish noblemen from their oath of loyalty to mary in favor of mary 's younger sister , hedwig in early next year .
the idea of a female monarch remained unpopular among the hungarian noblemen whose majority regarded louis the great 's distant cousin , charles iii of naples , the lawful king .
to strengthen mary 's position , the queen mother wanted to give her in marriage to louis , the younger brother of charles vi of france .
their engagement was announced in may 1385 .
charles iii of naples landed in dalmatia and mary 's former fianceé , sigismund of luxembourg , invaded the western parts of upper hungary -lrb- now in slovakia -rrb- in september 1385 .
under duress , the queen mother agreed to marry mary to sigismund of luxembourg in october , but they could not prevent charles from entering buda in early december .
mary was forced to renounce and charles was crowned king on the last day of the year .
his brief reign ended with his murder at queen elizabeth 's instigation in february 1386 .
mary was restored , but the murdered king 's supporters captured her and her mother on 25 july .
the queen mother was murdered in january 1386 , but mary was released on 4 june 1387 .
mary officially remained the co-ruler of her husband , who had meanwhile been crowned king , but her influence on the government was only nominal .
