John Hunyadi (ca. 1395-1456). An Outline of his Political and Military Career, According to the Latest Research

Abstract

The lack of modern scientific work on John Hunyadi led us six years ago to initiate the research work on a monograph dedicated to his life and times, based on a critical re-evaluation of the sources on the topic, and the older and newer literature. In the pages below, we bring to the attention of the international academic community a synthesis of our research, focusing not only on John Hunyadi's anti-Ottoman campaigns, as most historians of the topic have done before us, but also on his implications in the complicated politics of Central Europe in the mid 15th century.
