A Habsburgok és a magyar Anjouk kapcsolatainak kronológiája IV. (Luxemburgi) Károly uralkodása alatt
The Chronology of Diplomatic Relations between the Habsburgs and the Hungarian Angevins during the Reign of Charles IV of Luxemburg

Summary/Abstract: In the 14th century the history of East-Central Europe was shaped by the cooperation, alliances and wars between three ruling dynasties. One of these was the Luxemburg family, governing the Kingdom of Bohemia, which, by the second half of the 14th century, also secured for itself a dominant position in the Holy Roman Empire. The second, the Hungarian branch of the Angevins, arrived from an Italian and French family background, while the Habsburgs governed the Austrian provinces of the Empire. By the middle of the century the relationship between the Habsburgs and the Angevins had become increasingly superfi cial, and then turned into outright confl ict in the wake of the repeated military clashes along the Austro-Hungarian border. In the second half of the 14th century the relations between the two realms were generally determined by the shifting policies of Charles IV of Luxemburg, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia. The changing diplomatic relations between Hungary and Austria in the second half of the century, and the factors of international politics which infl uenced them, are registered in the attached chronological database.
