House of Hunyadi - Part 4: Crisis, betrayal, and the unraveling of a dynasty.

A kingdom once united by the raven’s banner now trembles in uncertainty. The death of Matthias Corvinus in fourteen ninety does more than end a reign—it tears open the wounds beneath the golden court. With no legitimate heir, the House of Hunyadi stands exposed, surrounded by enemies eager to claim the empty throne.The once-mighty dynasty feels the ground shifting beneath its feet. The royal palace of Buda, where music and debate once flourished, falls silent. Nobles, long held in check by Matthias’s iron will, seize the moment to reclaim lost privileges.
