The Lackfis' influence in Hungary has diminished…

The Lackfis' influence in Hungary has diminished and new favorites have emerged in the royal court.

James Szepesi had been appointed judge royal in 1373, and Nicholas Garay had become the palatine in 1375.

The organization of central government has also been modified to create a more centralized power structure.

Louis's "secret seal", that he has always taken with him during his wars and journeys, has been declared authentic, and Louis has entrusted it to the secret chancellor who is always to accompany him.

A new high official, the Lord Chancellor is authorized to use the great seal in the king's name in 1376 or 1377.

Demetrius, Bishop of Zagreb, who is of humble origin, is the first to hold this new office.

The Lord Chancellor becomes the head of a new central court of justice, called the court of "the king's special presence" in 1377.

From around the same time, the royal free towns delegate jurors to assist the master of the treasury, who heads the court of appeal for the towns.

A new official, the treasurer, takes over the master of the treasury's financial duties.
