thereupon at Vienna and Huniades renounced the Administration LADILAUS to auspiciate his Reign came to Presburgh but would trust himself no further within the Kingdome for Jealousies were fomented against Huniades by Ulrick Count of Cilia formerly Praefect of Austria but ejected thence by the Nobles and received into favour by this King who to compose the businesse was at last induced to come to Buda While he staid there Amurath vext with his repulse at Croja had retired himself into a Monastery and Mahomet his Son and Successor after a Seige of 50. dayes took and Sacked Constantinople to the shame and terrour of Christendome and having seized Servia with the Silver-Mine Towns therein from George the Despot bent his Force upon Belgrade which Furiously attaquing and thundring against the Walls with his Canons Huniades came in hast by Water to the Releif of it and having made his way into the Town by a vigorous Saley beat the Enemy out of his Entrenchments which they fired and cloyed and nailed his great Guns whereupon Mahomet retired to his main Camp and thence next morning tormented sick with the disappointment fled in hast towards Macedonia but was not pursued because Huniades suspecting likewise some Stratagem contented himself with the Slaughter of Forty thousand Turks In this Conflict Huniades received a Wound whereof he Died others say of a Feaver He was by Birth a Valachian and from the place of it called Corvinu as for the national glory of his Atchievements he was called Huniades A person that with small power alwayes worsted great Armyes Ladislaus who terrified with the Turk's approach had fled to Vienna came forward now to Belgrade to see the back-steps of the Enemy where resenting the slaughter of the Count of Cilia by Ladislaus the Son of Huniades though often provok'd thereunto he caused him by the Councel of some ill men to be b●headed and his Brother Matthias to be imprisoned But the Year after on the very Anniversary of the said Fact as he was Solemnizing his Marriage in Bohemia he Died there and left another Vacancy or Interregnum in Hungaria In the beginning whereof Michael Szylagyi the Kinsman of Huniades supplied with good store of Money by his Sister Elizabeth levyed an Army in Title of Matthias who was newly sent by Ladislaus in Custody to George Pogyb●ad King of Bohemia as King of Hungary having in Ladislaus's Life time procured many Friends that secretly favoured Huniades and his Family Others also for fear of his Power consented to his Election at an Assembly of the States held at Rakos where his Army Guarded them Pogybrad certified hereof inviting his Prisoner to Dinner and setting him uppermost aquainted him with the matter and having Contracted his Daughter to him conducted him to Moravia where he was Saluted King and thence in great Pomp and Magnificence conveyed to Buda where he confirmed and restored all former Priviledges and by his Care Felicity Vertue and the Majesty of his Name united all Parties into a perfect Peace which effected he sent Iohn Vitesius the Bishop of Varadin his adopted Father to Frederick the Emperour to demand the Crown which he pretending the Kingdome due to himself and scorning the Youth of Matthias refused and hereupon ensued a German War enforced by the predatory eruption of Iohn Gisera or Zisca the Bohemian who had twice worsted Huniades himself Frederick animated and incited by the Lord or Banus of Croatia Invaded the Sabarian Province taking the Rebels to his Assistance and wasted the Countrey far and near till Simon Magnus Commissioned and spirited by the King 's early Courage met him in the Upper Hungary where he Discomfited him permitting and conniving at the flight of the Rebels who afterwards proved Caesar's worst and most dangerous Enemies By this successe Caesar was at last constrained to yeild to the Demands of Matthias who persisted in a prosecution of them by delivering the Crown adopting also Matthias to his Son upon Condition that if he died without Issue the Emperour should succeed to the Crown of Hungary The Bohemian War was ended with the same felicity by Sebastian Rozgonius who hunted those predatory Thieves out of their lurking places amidst Rocks Lakes and other fastnesses yet so that some years passed before Ziscra their Chief Captain could be engaged several strong Holds and passes being maintained by them till driven to the Mountaines of Poland whence he addrest himself by humble supplication to the King and was received by him into favour and Preferment Telephus his Associate had not the same hap but prolonged a wretched life in a Begging starving Condition This is the larger mentioned for that it lasted almost Five years before it was finished and obliged the utmost endevours of the King to the extirpation of so villanous a race of Men that disturbed the Peace and security of his Subjects The Turk during these Wars had put in for his share by Invading the Eastermost parts in Revenge of his Belgrade Defeat but was so well received by Michael Szylagy somewhile before in disgrace with his Beneficiary the King his Nephew by usual Court detraction and Envy and newly restored to all his Honours and Commands neer to the Banks of Savus by a Town called Tutach that it was a question whether there was more blood or water in that reach of the River Haly Beg who was then Bassa of Mysia and commanded that Army flying to Synderovia endevoured to repair his losse by a re-inforcement of his enterprise upon Transylvania but was overthrown again by Pancratius neer Temeswar Matthias in pursuit of this Victory seized Dracula Prince of Valachia the Tributary of the Turk for by the Articles between Amurath the second and Uladislaus that investiture was to be sole right of the Kings of Hungary and detained him 10. years a Prisoner From thence he marched to Bosnia the King whereof Stephen being also Despot of Servia in right of his Wife the Daughter of Lazarus deceased Mahomet had caused as perfidiously as inhumanely to be flead alive the just reward however of his base and prodigious lust which divided his Sons against Him Matthias proceeded as far as the Superiour ●osnia and those parts which stretch themselves towards Zara and Epidaurus and by the taking of Iaycia reduced the whole Kingdome to his Hungarian Scepter Mahomet with thirty thousand men came to relieve it but hearing of Matthias his Approach sneaked cowardly home Hereupon the Venetians with other Princes by their Ambassadors were instant for the prosecution of the War offering 50000. Crowns yearly for the maintenance of it which being accordingly recommenced Matthias frighted in the same manner at Mahomet's appearance repassed the Savus out of R●scia where he had taken Streverich by Emerick Sepusius and turned his Army upon the Frangepanes who being fortified in the Alpes of Croatia refused obedience but assoon as the King was arrived at Zagrabia they thought best to

Bohemia and Hungary though the latter complaining of the Spoil and havock made by the Turks in that Kingdome during the absence of Sigismund busied in the Affairs of Germany and Italy did with much reluctancy consent to his Election as also of the Romans He swayed the Scepter but two years and was a notable Evidence of the inconstancy of the World in his sudden Advancement and as speedy Fall He was Crowned at Alba whence coming to Buda the Germans took upon them the Civil administration of the City together with the placing of Officers as more allied to him than the Hungarians and in maintainance of this their Intrusion caused a Chief Noble man that stoutly opposed them to be put to Death This so enraged the Hungarians that they flew to their Arms and killed all the Germans they met or could tell where to find them which Bloody Fury lasted till a certain Monk prevailed them to surcease it At this time the Turks wasting Rassia and having subdued Synderovia George Bulch●s the Despot of the Province commiting the Guard of the Castle which was the Chief Residence of his Government to his two Sons betook himself with his third Son Lazarus for succour and aid into Hungary but Albert intent upon his Covetousnesse suffered the two Princes to be taken when although Amurath as the Turkish Annals have it had Married their Sister some three years before he caused their privities to be cut off and their Eyes to be put out upon pretence that they assisted their Father as then Designing War against him Albert was upon his March when he understood of the taking of the Castle which dismaying him he encamped betwixt the River Tybiscus and the Danow suffering Amurath after the attainment of his Design to retire unmolested During which idling his Soldiers got the Flux by inordinate eating of Fruit which same disease at the Town of Nesmel took him also away at his return to Hungary ELIZABETH his Wife being left big with Child was urgent with the Nobles that they would regard the Issue of the King her Husband she then went with and in the mean time to her delivery to create an Interrex or Protector to which motion those that were present agreed but others would have the Scepter translated to Uladislaus the third King of Poland Son of Iagello aforesaid by Hedwyga a Daughter of Hungary to whom the Queen should be inter-married and the Posthume Child to be instated in Austria and Bohemia This counsel the Infancy of the Prince and the Noyse of the Turkish Arms did then advise whereupon a hasty Embassy was dispatched to Cracovia but as speedily followed with the news of her being delivered of a Son The Nobles at home now repented of their forwardnesse but the Ambassadors conscious to themselves how far they had gone persisted in their Errand and notwithstanding the Turks instances to the Contrary prevailed upon Uladislaus to accept the Crown Upon his approach into Hungary Elizabeth who had newly brought out the Crown she had secretly purloyned from its place and Crowned her Son Ladislaus therewith for whose good and just Government she and Zecchius with the Count of Cillia had pledged their Oaths foreseeing the danger conveyed the Crown and her self and Son to Frederick the third Emperour Soon after Uladislaus arrived at Buda and having modestly declined the Government gently taxing the Hungarians of their Dissentions as the cause of so many Changes was the more unanimously Complemented with the Regal Title Zecchius and Ladislaus Gara the friends of the Orphan Prince being set at liberty performing their Offices at his Coronation solemnized with the Diadem taken from off the Image of St. Stephen His great friends to this Advancement were Nicholas Vylach Governour of Chroatia and Iohn Huniades who appeared like an auspicious star amidst the many Factions in Hungary For the Queen assisted by some Castellanes and Governours of strong Holds did cause great Troubles to the King especially Ladislaus Gara her former Partaker waged War and tryed the Fortune of Battel in her Sons Cause but was Defeated with great losse by Huniades and Vylach as were afterwards Zechi and Gisera but to the common and great losse and diminution of the Strength of the Kingdome notwithstanding that Iulian the Pope's Legate interposed the Papal Authority by which no more than a Cessation for a time could be obtained The Death of the Queen which now happned serving rather as an incentive then allay to the passions of those who studied her deprived Orphans right and Interest By this opportunity Amurath the second had enlarged his Conquests in the extremest parts of Hungary and was now in person before Belgrade Defended by Iohn Aurane Brother of the Prince or Lord of Croatia and so resolutely maintained by him that after a Seige of seven months in which all manner of Force by assault and mines were tryed but by the Valour and vigilance of the besieged repulsed and Countermin'd to the losse of Thirty thousand Men the proud Turk was constrained to dislodge when Invading the other parts of Hungary he took in Novigrod in the Confines of Servia abandoned upon his coming by the Defendants from whence also he dispatched Isaac Bassa of Semendria to make a further Incursion the Hungarians by their Discords being in no condition to withstand him till at his return loaden with Booty and innumerable Christian Captives Huniades having privily Collected an Army and passed the Danow met with him in the Province of Alba neer to Synderovia and there vanquished him To redresse this Discomfiture Mesithes Bassa was employed to open a Passage into Transylvania by Valachia which at the instance of Huniades had newly Revolted which he effected havocking and laying wast the Countrey and having worsted Huniades at the first Encounter was again by him engaged with a sudden raised Army and totally routed Himself and his Son with Twenty thousand Turks being slain upon the place A Treaty was now with very unequal terms propounded which Vladisla●s rejecting Abedin Beg was sent by Amurath to prosecute the same Design upon Transylvania and Hungary with an Army of Fourscore thousand Men at whose approach the Valachians being in no capacity to resist him by the advice of Huniades secured themselves in the inaccessible Mountains and Hills of the Countrey while the Turk raged with all extremity upon what ever he found till suddenly set upon by Huniades with no more then Fifteen thousand Men at Vaskapa he was miserably overthrown with the losse of Thirty thousand Men and his own life For this Victory a
