The fall of the oligarchic ownership of the Kyosogi family in the second decade of the 14-th century. Causes and analysis

Abstract

The article is devoted to the period that ended the age of dynastic confrontation in the Hungarian kingdom and became decisive for the establishment of the power of the new Anjou dynasty, which in the future had a significant impact on the political life of Eastern Europe and Italy. A dangerous precedent - the division of power and territories of the kingdom within the ruling family during the reign of King Bela IV led to a decline in the prestige of the royal power and brought about a tectonic split in the ruling states of the state. The hypothetical renaissance of the Бrpбd monarch's prestige and royal power, which took place during the reign of King Andrбs III, ended with his untimely death, plunging Hungary into years of dynastic strife. Research methods. First of all, comparative-historical and structural-systemic methods of analysis, methods of induction and deduction, problem-chronological method of presenting the material were used. Scientific novelty. The outlined problems have not been considered in historiography before. Conclusions. In the autumn of 1300, probably none of those who met the small honor of the minor Neapolitan prince Charles Robert, who had previously been excluded from the right to inherit his Italian possessions, had no doubt that he would repeat the fate of his predecessors and become an obedient tool in the hands powerful subjects, such as Shubych, Kyosogi, Chak, etc. However, during the ten years of his reign, Charles I Robert managed to consolidate in his hands the power necessary to destroy powerful oligarchic possessions, among which the province of the Kyosogi family was one of the most powerful. Therefore, the fall of the power of this family became one of the milestones of the destruction of oligarchic possessions by Karl I Robert, which was a prelude to the onset of the period, which in Hungarian historiography was called the "Golden Age".
