Hadrian was not the only European ruler with a troublesome realm. Some fourteen hundred years later, Matthias Hunyadi (also known as Matthias I Corvinus), who was proclaimed king of Hungary in 1458, faced threats from the Turks and Venetians to the south, the Holy Roman emperor Frederick III from the west, and Casimir IV of Poland from the north.

There were numerous political and religious battles to be fought, with various conquests and alliances: Matthias defended Hungary, kept the Turks at bay, and became the strongest leader in central Europe. Despite the constant warfare, the arts flourished during his reign. His library, filled with a renowned collection of illuminated codices, was world famous, and he surrounded himself with artists, humanists, and poets.
