As István V dies, the Barons rise – with the king a ten year old boy, they correctly assume that there is little to no check on them. Baronial groups form to fight one another for power and influence in court, old scores are settled on battlefields everywhere in the kingdom. And at the very heart of it, a young king is growing up who knows no stability, only a realm that disintegrates under his very feet.

Join us today as we discuss those five crucial years between 1272 and 1277, in which the barons grew more and more ambitions and independent. And the war beyond the border approaches its final conclusion too – and Hungary will have a role to play in bringing the Habsburgs to power.
