I'll find you more info about the black army and more info about more units. In 1521, Nándorfehérvár (Belgrade) fell, and in 1526, the Hungarian army was destroyed in the Battle at Mohács. As central rule degenerated, the stage was set for a defeat at the hands of the Ottoman Empire. In 1514, two years before Ladislaus's death, the nobility crushed with ruthless methods the peasant rebellion of György Dózsa. The then king of Bohemia, the weak king Ladislaus_II_of_Bohemia_and_Hungary of the Polish/Lithuanian Jagiellon line, followed him – Ladislaus nominally ruled the areas Matthias conquered except Austria – but real power was in the hand of the nobles. Matthias's empire collapsed after his death, since he had no children except for an illegitimate son, John Corvin, whom the noblemen of the country did not accept as their king. Although Vlad had much success against the Ottoman armies, the two Christian rulers disagreed in 1462, leading to Matthias invading Wallachia and imprisoning Vlad in Buda. Not because of skin color (LOL), but just named the black army with the Raven included for flag.Īt times Matthias had Vlad III Dracula, the Prince of Wallachia, as his vassal. Sidenote: He picked up the name "Corvinus" the latin name of the Raven. He was succeeded in Hungary by Ladislaus II of Bohemia, who ruled as Uladislaus II of Hungary. His library at Buda, the Corvina, was one of the finest in Europe. A true Renaissance ruler, he protected learning and science. He respected the national institutions but was harsh in his fiscal policy and in his administration of justice. During his rule Hungary reached its last flowering before its fall to the Ottoman Empire. His military success was largely due to the establishment of a standing army. He took Vienna (1485) and conquered Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola, but his conquests were lost again after his death. After fighting two wars (1477, 1479) against Frederick III, Matthias began (1482) a third campaign. In 1478 peace was made: both Ladislaus and Matthias were to keep the title king of Bohemia Matthias was to retain his conquests, which were, however, to revert to Bohemia after his death. The war continued after the accession of Ladislaus II as king of Bohemia. Having conquered Moravia, Silesia, and Lusatia, Matthias had himself crowned (1469) king of Bohemia, but was not recognized by the Bohemian diet. He was persuaded by Pope Pius II to take up arms against George of Podebrad, king of Bohemia. Matthias won a reputation as a crusader against the Ottomans. Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III sought to contest the election but recognized him in 1462. He was elected king of Hungary on the death of Ladislaus V.
