Years: 1451 - 1451
George of Podébrady, after becoming the leader of the moderate Hussites (Utraquists) in 1444, represents the main source of stability in Bohemia during the minority of Ladislav V “Posthumous” of Hungary, the Habsburg party’s prospective candidate for the Bohenian throne and a ward of Germany’s King Frederick III.
The twenty-eight-year-old George, having risen to power with the help of other nationalists, had seized Prague in 1448 and, with the reluctant consent of the defeated Habsburgs, had become the administrator of Bohemia.
Late in 1451, Frederick meekly settles Bohemian claims for Ladislas by allowing the diet to name George regent governor of Bohemia.
