Abstract | Although between 1490 and 1526 Jagiellonian Poland, Bohemia, and Hungary were governed independently, French, English, and Imperial diplomacy treated them as a uniform block. France tried to establish an alliance-system at the back of the Habsburgs but recognized they were rather an 'informal empire', following own interests. Tudor policy found Hungary, despite struggling the Ottomans in inner decay, provided shelter for Yorkists. The Habsburgs re-assessed the Jagiellonians were still strong enough to threaten to elect national monarchs and neglect previous pacts. In the new power system of newly emerged Valois/Tudor/Habsburg grandeur did they play their traditional medieval roles as 'empires'? |
