 Hungarian History 1300 to 1444 AD
Albert returned to Hungary in 1439 to be greeted with the news that parts of Southern Hungary had been overrun by Ottoman troops and that the free Serbian capital at Smedendria (Smederevo) was under Ottoman siege.
This miscalculation and Elizabeth's pawning of estates in Hungary to King Frederick HRE and granting him 'tutor' rights over her son saw many of her supporters declare for Ulászló I. This was reinforced by the crushing of a pro-Elizabeth revolt by Southern magnates and the capture of her greatest supporter Ulrich Cilli.
A revolt in Southern Hungary by Nobles in support of Elizabeth was quickly suppressed by the forces of Nicholas Ujlaki and Janos Hunyadi, Bans of Macva and Severin respectively.

King Úlászló, however, was persuaded by Caesarini to violate the truce and in 1444 led a Hungarian army to the slaughter at the battle of Varna, where he died; Hunyadi barely escaped with his life.
The new king, Ladislas Posthumus, was a minor, and Hunyadi was appointed regent of Hungary in 1446.
His role in the history of Hungary is that of a protector at a time when Hungary's nominal protectors--its kings--were ineffective and when Hungary's enemies--the Turks and internal factionalism--were strong.

The old party of Ulászló under the leadership of Hunyadi was still by far the strongest in Hungary and that the Czech mercenary Jiskra had managed to build such a strong power base in Slovakia and surrounding districts that he had to be acknowledged as one of the seven most powerful men in Hungary.
The seven ruled Hungary for over a year but by then it was clear that Frederick III was not going to release Ladislaus nor return the lands he had taken.
Hunyadi was further inconvenienced in his retreat to Hungary when the Prince of Serbia George Brankovic seized his opportunity to revenge himself on the man he believed had betrayed the peace of 1444.

While these attempts either ended in utter failure (Nicopolis 1396, Varna 1444) or failed to reach the Balkans Peninsula (French expedition to Naples, 1494-1495), the Kingdom of Hungary, for a number of decades, was capable of standing up to the Ottoman challenge.
Central Hungary would become Ottoman territory, while the western and northern fringe of the kingdom (including parts of Croatia and most of Slovakia, then referred to as Upper Hungary) became Royal Hungary, the Habsburg Dynasty supplying the kings.

When the Turks invaded Transylvania in 1442, Ulaszlo I of Hungary accused (unfairly) Vlad of failing to properly defend the approaches to Transylvania from the south (i.e., the passes leading from Wallachia to Transylvania) and forced Vlad out of Wallachia.
At the same time the power of Hungary was reaching its zenith and would peak during the time of John Hunyadi, the White Knight of Hungary, and his son King Matthias Corvinus.
At that time Matthias Corvinus of Hungary was seeking to bolster his own reputation in the Holy Roman Empire and may have intended the early pamphlets as justification of his less than vigorous support of his vassal.
