The Romany Rye

CHAPTER XXXIX
25/48

A natural son, Hunyadi John, called so after the great man.
He would have been universally acknowledged as King of Hungary but for the illegitimacy of his birth.

As it was, Ulaszlo, the son of the King of Poland, afterwards called Ulaszlo the Second, who claimed Hungary as being descended from Albert, was nominated king by a great majority of the Magyar electors.

Hunyadi John for some time disputed the throne with him; there was some bloodshed, but Hunyadi John eventually submitted, and became the faithful captain of Ulaszlo, notwithstanding that the Turk offered to assist him with an army of two hundred thousand men.
_Myself_.

Go on.
_Hungarian_.

To what?
Tche Drak, to the Mohacs Veszedelem.
