	Iancu de Hunedoara
		Printre tarani se zvonea veste mortii lui Iancu de Hunedoara.
		Pentru a-si consolida baza politica din Balcani, Iancu a intervenit activ in Bosnia, reusind sa incheie, la 10 iunie 1444, un tratat de alianta cu regele Stefan Toma, rege care, de altfel, fusese recunoscut si intarit in domnie de Vladislav I ca urmare a recomandarilor sale.
		Acest egoism politic contraproductiv, lipsa totala de coordonare a actiunilor au dus, in cele din urma, la tragicul deznodamant de la Varna, care a anulat, practic, roadele numeroaselor victorii din “Campania cea lunga” si a rupt din nou echilibrul din Balcani in favoarea turcilor.

	John Hunyadi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While still a youth, the younger John Hunyadi entered the service of King Sigismund, who appreciated his qualities and borrowed money from him; he accompanied that monarch to Frankfurt in his quest for the imperial crown in 1410; took part in the Hussite Wars in 1420, and in 1437 drove the Turks from Semendria.
		In 1448 he received a golden chain and the title of prince from Pope Nicholas V, and immediately afterwards resumed the war with the Turks.
		Though he remained illiterate until late in life (something which was not as common in those times as one might think), his natural diplomatic, stragegic and tactical intelligence served him well and allowed him to serve his country well.
