  General Description   Following the Árpád dynasty’s end, Hungary entered a period marked by the Angevin and Jagiellonian dynasties, leading up to the significant Battle of Mohács in 1526. [1] The Angevin kings, notably Charles I and Louis I, expanded Hungary’s influence in Central Europe through military campaigns and administrative reforms, enhancing the kingdom’s power. The era saw Hungary’s involvement in European politics intensify, especially under the rule of Sigismund of Luxembourg, who linked Hungary with Bohemia and Poland, aiming to strengthen royal authority and address external threats, notably from the Ottoman Empire. [2] The period was characterized by dynastic changes, efforts towards centralization, and significant cultural developments, yet it also faced challenges such as internal strife and the looming threat of Ottoman conquest. This era concluded with the devastating defeat at Mohács, [3] leading to Hungary’s fragmentation and marking the end of medieval Hungarian sovereignty.
