| Abstract | This session discusses the royal authority in the late medieval Eastern Adriatic by focusing on the reign of two monarchs, Louis the Great (r. 1342-1382) and Matthias Corvinus (r. 1458-1490), who are regarded as the two of the most powerful rulers of the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen. The papers analyze different modes of interaction between the court and the local actors - individuals, noble communities, and city communes - in order to see how the relations between the political center and periphery were shaped. |
