Stephen V Báthory

Stephen Báthory of Ecsed (1430–1493) is a Hungarian commander, 'dapiferorum regalium magister' (1458–?

), judge royal (1471–1493) and voivode of Transylvania (1479–1493).

He rises to power under King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary and after the king's death sides with Vladislav Jagiellon of Bohemia and later, together with Pál Kinizsi, defeats Prince John Corvin in the Battle of Csonthegy (1493).

As a result of his cruelty in Transylvania, especially against the Székelys, he is deposed by the King in 1493 and dies shortly afterwards.
