Charles I of Hungary, also known as Charles Robert of Anjou, was the first Angevin king to rule Hungary, reigning from 1308 to 1342. This episode explores how he inherited a fractured kingdom from the Árpád dynasty and rebuilt it into a centralized, prosperous state. We discuss his struggle against the oligarchs, his economic reforms including the gold florin and royal monopoly on mining, his foreign policy with the Kingdom of Naples and the Holy Roman Empire, and his role in elevating Buda as a capital. We also touch on the legend of the royal crown's curse and the founding of the Order of Saint George. Join Lucas and Luna as they uncover the legacy of the only Hungarian king to bear the name Charles — a figure who transformed medieval Hungary into a European power.
