1439 CE

The forces of Wladyslaw and Albert prepare for war, but the brewing Polish-Bohemian conflict ends with Albert’s death from dysentery in 1439 while fighting the Turks in Hungary.

Albert has left his wife pregnant, and a crisis immediately develops concerning his succession to the throne of Hungary.

The Hungarian nobles choose Wladyslaw, who is supported by the successful aristocratic general Janos Hunyadi, whom Albert had recently appointed military governor (ban) of Severin in Wallachia.
