	Matthias Corvinus of Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Matthias was born in Cluj (Hungarian: Kolozsvár) in Transylvania in 1443, the second son of John Hunyadi, a successful Hungarian military leader of Vlach ancestry who had risen through the ranks of the nobility to become regent of Hungary.
		The later epithet Corvinus was coined by Matthias' biographer, the Italian Antonio Bonfini, who claimed that the Hunyadi family (whose coat of arms depicts a raven—corvus in Latin) descended from the ancient Roman gens of the Corvini.
		Matthias was educated in Italian, and his fascination with the achievements of the Italian Renaissance led to the promotion of Mediterranean cultural influences in Hungary.

	Visegrád - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Visegrád is famous for the remains of the early Renaissance summer palace of Matthias Corvinus and the medieval Citadel.
		In the 14th century, at the time of the Angevin kings of Hungary, the castle became a royal residence and was enlarged with a new curtain wall and palace buildings.
		Between 1477-84 King Matthias Corvinus had the palace complex reconstructed in late Gothic style, but in the decoration of the architectural parts also the Italian Renaissance style was used, which appeared here for the first time in Europe outside Italy.

	Matthias Corvinus
		Matthias I Hunyadi, King of Hungary, also known as Matthias Corvinus, a surname which he received from the raven (corvus) on his escutcheon, second son of János Hunyadi and Elizabeth Szilágyi, was born at Kolozsvár, probably on the 24rd of February 1443.
		Matthias consolidated his position by alliances with the dukes of Saxony and Bavaria, with the Swiss Confederation, and the archbishop of Salzburg, and was from that point the greatest potentate in central Europe.
		Matthias was a middle-sized, broad-shouldered man of martial bearing, with a large fleshy nose, hair reaching to his heels, and the clean-shaven, heavy chinned face of an early Roman emperor.

	The Library of Matthias Corvinus, the King of Hungary
		Matthias joined this tradition, as can be seen also in the themes and the illustrations of his books, for example on this Petrarca - Dante codex of Paris, and on the Philostratus codex that is in Budapest (Országos Széchenyi Konyvtár).
		Matthias wanted him to be his follower on the throne, and this gesture serves for acceptance of Corvin's legitimacy.
		As it appears in the writing of the contemporaries of Matthias, the rapidity with which he joined to the most modern trend of his age, served not just political or personal purposes, but it was good for the whole country.

		Matthias was a youth when he had to create order out of anarchy in Hungary; he was faced with the necessity of suppressing the rebellious oligarchies of the nobles, building up a centralized monarchy, and securing the defensive borders of the country against the steadily increasing threat of Turkish attacks.
		Matthias, who was striving to collect an extensive library and at that time may have already conceived the idea of establishing a workshop for copyists and illustrators of books in Buda, nevertheless immediately passed on this codex as a gift to the Hungarian monk, Thomas of Hungary.
		The early manuscripts of Matthias which are preserved in Hungary were 28 illuminated in what is known as the simple style, though often this style can by no means be regarded as simple, for these volumes bear witness to refined taste, wide knowledge, and artistic activity of a high level.

		This double shield is usually referred to as the coat of arms of Matthias and Beatrice, but this is an error; it was not the joint coat of arms of the king and queen but that of the queen alone.
		In this respect Matthias and Beatrice faithfully followed the example of their predecessors: neither earlier nor later can the consort's arms be found in the seal of the Hungarian king; the queens, on the other hand, invariably used a seal uniting their own arms with those of the king.
		King Matthias must have felt it to be the highest moment of his triumph when he marched into conquered Vienna at the head of his eight thousand armed warriors on 1 June 1485.

		Lower Austria by now was under Hungarian occupation; Matthias Corvinus took up residence in Vienna; the excessive luxury of his court resulted in a considerable economic burden on the Viennese.
		King Matthias Corvinus died in 1490 in Vienna; with King Wladislaw of Bohemia first having to secure the Hungarian throne, the Hungarian forces in Lower Austria lacked leadership.
