Years: 1308 - 1308
December

Charles stands alone as claimant to the throne of Hungary after Otto's escape from Transylvanian captivity, but large parts of his kingdom are under the rule of powerful aristocrats and even his alleged partisans ignore his royal prerogatives.

His position slightly strengthens when the legate of Pope Clement V arrives in Hungary in June 1308 and persuades Máté Csák to recognize Charles' reign on their meeting in the Monastery of Kékes.

Máté Csák is also present on November 27, 1308, at the assembly in Pest, where Charles is again proclaimed King of Hungary.
