'''Czarna Armia''' ([[Język węgierski|węg.]] ''fekete sereg'' – czarny legion) to przyjęta w historiografii nazwa znakomicie wyszkolonych i zróżnicowanych etnicznie oddziałów wojskowych służących w armii [[Węgry|węgierskiej]] za czasów panowania króla [[Maciej Korwin|Macieja Korwina]]. Nazwa wywodzi się od czarnych elementów zbroi używanych przez te wojska.
 
 
 
Jest ona uważana za jedną z pierwszych europejskich formacji wojskowych od czasów [[Cesarstwo Rzymskie|cesarstwa rzymskiego]], których żołnierze nie pochodzili z [[Pobór (wojsko)|poboru]] i otrzymywali regularny [[żołd]] w zamian za służbę. Mianem Czarnej Armii określa się jednostki istniejące między [[1458]] a [[1490]] rokiem.
 
 
 
Trzon armii tworzyło od 8 000 do 10 000 najemników (później liczba ta wzrosła nawet do 30 000<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/67614/Black-Army Encyklopedia Britannica].</ref>, a w okresie najazdów podwoiła się). Żołnierze wywodzili się głównie z rejonu [[Święte Cesarstwo Rzymskie|Cesarstwa]], [[Czechy|Czech]], [[Serbia|Serbii]] i [[I Rzeczpospolita|I Rzeczypospolitej]]<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=PmZmOkfkr9oC&pg=PA12&dq=serbs+black+army+hungary&as_brr=3#v=onepage&q=serbs%20black%20army%20hungary&f=false Hungary and the fall of Eastern Europe 1000-1568 s.12].</ref>, a od 1480 także z [[Węgry|Węgier]]. Większość z nich służyła w [[Piechota|piechocie]], [[Artyleria|artylerii]] oraz w ciężkiej i lekkiej [[Jazda|konnicy]]. Rola ciężkozbrojnej konnicy została ograniczona do ochrony oddziałów piechoty i artylerii, jazda lekka służyła zaś do wypadów i nękania przeciwników. Jedną z najważniejszych bitew w których brała udział Czarna Armia była zwycięska bitwa przeciwko [[Imperium Osmańskie|Osmańskim Turkom]] rozegrana na [[Bitwa na Chlebowym Polu|Chlebowym Polu]] w [[1479]]. Śmierć Macieja Korwina w 1490 oznaczała koniec tej formacji, gdyż jego następca [[Władysław II Jagiellończyk]] nie zdecydował się na ponoszenie ogromnych kosztów, jakich wymagało utrzymanie Czarnej Armii.

The '''Black Army''' ({{lang-hu|Fekete sereg}}, pronounced {{IPA-hu|ˈfɛkɛtɛ ˈʃɛrɛɡ|}}), also called the '''Black Legion/Regiment''' – possibly after their black armor panoply – is a common name given to the military forces serving under the reign of King [[Matthias Corvinus]] of [[Hungary]]. The ancestor and core of this early standing mercenary army appeared in the era of his father [[John Hunyadi]] in the early 1440s. The idea of the professional standing mercenary army came from Matthias' juvenile readings about the life of [[Julius Caesar]].<ref>Valery Rees: Hungary's Philosopher King: Matthias Corvinus 1458–90 (Published 1994) [http://www.historytoday.com/valery-rees/hungarys-philosopher-king-matthias-corvinus-1458-90]</ref>
 
 
 
Hungary's Black Army traditionally encompasses the years from 1458 to 1494.<ref name="ME2008" /> The mercenary soldiers of other countries in the era were conscripted from the general population at times of crisis, and soldiers worked as bakers, farmers, brick-makers, etc. for most of the year. In contrast, the men of the Black Army fought as well-paid, full-time mercenaries and were purely devoted to the arts of warfare. It was a standing mercenary army that conquered large parts of [[Archduchy of Austria|Austria]] (including the capital [[Vienna]] in 1485) and more than half of the [[Crown of Bohemia]] ([[Moravia]], [[Silesia]] and both [[Lusatia]]s), the other important victory of the army was won against the Ottomans at the [[Battle of Breadfield]] in 1479.
 
 
 
Matthias recognized the importance and key role of early [[firearms]] in the infantry, which greatly contributed to his victories.<ref>{{cite book

Several speculations arose about the army's [[cognomen]]. The first recorded accounts using the "black" attribute appear in written memoranda immediately after his death, when the rest of the army was pillaging the Hungarian and later Austrian villages when they received no pay. An idea is that they adopted the adjective from a captain, "Black" John Haugwitz, whose nickname already earned him enough recognition to be identified with the army as a whole.<ref name="EHH" />

In the first years of Matthias' rule, the structure of enlisting troops was built on the legacy of his ancestor [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Sigismund of Luxembourg]]. The majority of his army consisted of noble [[Bandon (Byzantine Empire)|banners]]<ref name="EHH" /> and the soldiers provided and regulated by the ''[[militia portalis]]'' (manor militia),<ref>{{cite web

</ref> which outlined that for every twenty serf-lots (''portae'', literally "gates"), a noble was ordered to raise and lend one archer to the king. Later, that obligation was reconsidered, and the limit was shifted to one archer per 33 manors and three mounted archers per 100 manors. Those who did not have serfs but owned manors as a noble had to join a regional count in state of war. No significant number of mercenaries were present in the Hungarian Army during Matthias' early years. (In the 1463 [[Janus Pannonius]]' report of the siege of [[Jajce Castle]], there is no mention of them.)
 
 
 
In case of emergency, a last chance existed for the actual king in power to mobilize the population suddenly. Every noble, no matter his social class, had to participate in person with his weaponry and all of his personal guards made available. These were the estate armies.<ref name="EHH" /> Whenever they were called upon, they were not allowed to fight for longer than 15 days, and their field of operations was restricted to within the borders of Hungary. The so-called ''insurrectio'' (noble "insurrection") was nothing more than an obsolete form of drafting, but it was valid until the [[Battle of Raab]] in 1809, mainly because it relieved the participating nobles of paying their taxes; but generally, these enlisted armada played a minor role in the Black Army, since Matthias decreased their participation gradually and called them up in large numbers early in his reign.<ref name="EKP">{{cite book

In the laws of 1459 of [[Szeged]], he restored the basis of 20 serfs to induct an archer (this time it was based on the number of persons). The barons' ''militia portalis'' no longer counted in the local noble's banner but into the army of the country (led by a captain appointed by the king) and could have been sent abroad as well.

==From mercenaries to regularly paid soldiers==
 
Though these efforts were sound, the way they were carried out was not in any way supervised. In 1458, Matthias borrowed as many as 500 heavy cavalry from Bohemian king, [[George of Poděbrady]], to strengthen his situation at home against his rival landlords. This marks the turning point away from obsolete noble banners to skilled soldiers of fortune (in this case, they were remnants of the [[Hussites]], whose battle tactics were later adapted by the Black Army).<ref name="EKP"/> He needed more seasoned veterans, so he chose to settle a group of rogue Czech Army deserters led by [[John Jiskra]] who were already plundering the northern countryside seeking daily loot. Jiskra was promised a royal pardon and two castles, Solymos and Lippa (now Şoimuş and Lipova), in the [[Peace Treaty of Wiener Neustadt]] of 1463, and his soldiers received a payment of 25,000 [[ducats]]. He was stationed in Bosnia to fight the Ottomans the next year.<ref>{{Cite journal

Previously, in 1462, the King sent word to his equerry that he should hire 8,000 cavalry to start a holy war against the Ottoman Empire only if the [[Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia|Venetians]] – according to their promise – covered the expenses (unfortunately for the Hungarians, this financial aid was postponed from time to time). The first major and mass conscription of mercenaries appeared during the Bohemian Wars (1468–78), whereas the core of his royal infantry, a force of 6,000–8,000 armed men, were incorporated into the Black Army (the origins of the moniker could also come from this era).<ref name="Engel">{{cite book

After Matthias's income increased periodically, simultaneously, the number of mercenaries increased as well. Historical records vary when it comes to numbers, mainly because it changed from battle to battle and most soldiers were only employed for the duration of combat or a longer conflict.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} Reckoning the nobility's banners, the mercenaries, the soldiers of conquered Moravia and Silesia, and the troops of allied [[Moldavia]] and [[Wallachia]], the King could have gathered an army of 90,000 men.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}}  The nobility's participation in the battlefield were ignored by the time their support could have been redeemed in gold later on. The cities were also relieved of paying war levies if they supplied the craftsmanship and weapon production to equip the military.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}}
 
 
 
King Matthias increased the serf's taxes; he switched the basis of taxing from the ''portae'' to the households, and occasionally, they collected the royal dues twice a year during wartime. Counting the vassals' tribute, the western contributions, the local nobility's war payment, the tithes, and the urban taxes, Matthias's annual income reached 650,000 florins; for comparison, the Ottoman Empire had 1,800,000 per year.<ref name="Engel" /> In contrast to popular belief, historians have speculated for decades that the actual sum altogether could circle around 800,000 florins in a good year at the peak of Matthias's reign, but never surpassed the financial threshold of one million florins, a previously commonly accepted number.<ref>{{cite book

The army was divided into three parts: the cavalry, paid three florins per horse; the [[Pavise|pavisors]], who received double the money; and the archers, light infantry and arquebusiers, with the latter consisting of mostly Czechs, Germans and Poles (all paid differently). Medieval gunpowder was quite expensive, so the King preferred adapting Hussite tactics to mounted warfare (based on defense, placing infantry behind wagon blockades or tall pavises, while the cavalry constantly harassed the enemy and guarded the "middle") and placed archery in favor of fusiliers, with the latter being engaged at the very start of the battle.

The river fleet ({{lang-hu|flottila or naszád}}) was composed of wooden galleys, rowboats (later upgraded to gunboats) and smaller ships, which were capable of sailing up the rivers [[Danube]], [[Tisza]] and [[Sava]]. The [[Siege of Belgrade (1456)|victory at the Belgrade]] (Nándorfehérvár) in 1456, where the fleet played a significant role in breaking through the Turkish river blockade to bring relief to the besieged city, showed its importance and signaled the beginning of a recognition of its significance. It also encouraged King Matthias to build a larger and better-equipped navy. Since they were manned by South Slavs, mainly Serbs and Croats, the two major ports of operations were Belgrade and Szabács ([[Šabac]]). In 1475, concomitantly with the introduction of field guns, he ordered the installation of artillery onto the river barges as well as bombards able to shoot cannonballs ranging from 100–200&nbsp;lb. In 1479, he had a mixed fleet of 360 vessels, a crew of 2600 sailors, and a capacity of 10,000 soldiers on board.<ref name="Heath"/><ref>{{EB1911|wstitle=Matthias I., Hunyadi|inline=1|volume=17|pages=900–901|first=Robert Nisbet|last=Bain|authorlink=Robert Nisbet Bain}}</ref> Matthias also secured an exit to the [[Adriatic Sea]], the city-port of [[Zengg]] from which Balázs Matthias could embark for his maritime campaigns.<ref name="Zrinyi"/> Matthias could also monitor the trade going through the Danube Delta to the [[Black Sea]] from the City of [[Kiliya, Ukraine|Kilia]], but during his reign, it was seized by the Moldavian Army supported by the Ottoman Fleet.<ref name="Kilia"/>

{{Quotation|" …we regard the armored heavy infantry as a wall, who never give up their place, even if they are slaughtered to the last one of them, on the very spot they are standing. Light soldiers perform breakouts depending on the occasion, and when they are already tired or sense severe danger, they return back behind the armoured soldiers, organizing their lines and collecting power, and stay there until, on occasion, they may break forth again. In the end, all of the infantry and shooters are surrounded by armoured and shielded soldiers, just as those were standing behind a rampart. Since, the greater pavieses, put next to each other in a circle, show the picture of a fortress, and are similar to a wall, in the protection whereof the infantry and all the ones standing in the middle, fight like from behind tower-walls or rampart, and they occasionally break out of there."|Matthias Corvinus: in this case from a letter to his father-in-law king [[Ferdinand I of Naples]] in the 1480s<ref>http://mek.oszk.hu/07100/07105/pdf/matyaslev1.pdf</ref><ref>http://mek.oszk.hu/07100/07105/pdf/matyaslev2.pdf</ref>}}

At the height of the century, the heavy cavalry was already at its peak, although it showed signs of declining tendencies. The striking power and the ability to charge without backup made them capable of forcing a decisive outcome in most battles. Although they were rarely deployed on their own, if they were, they would take square formations. Such turning points occurred at the Battle of Breadfield (1479). Usually, they made up one-sixth of the army and, with mercenary knights, were in the majority. Their armament was well prepared and of high quality except for the noble banners. This stands for proprietary arms, not the ones provided by the king.

*[[Lance]]s: the lance was the principal assault weapon of the tilting heavy cavalry. They were up to four metres long, ranging from the classical lance type with a lengthened spearhead (often decorated with animal tails, flags or other ornaments) to the short conical spearheaded, one designed for piercing heavy armour. A [[buckler]]-like vamplate protected the hand and arm. Its stability was increased with a fastening hook (''lance-arret'') on the side of the horseman's cuirass.
 
*[[Sword]]s: the most common swords of the era originated from southern Europe.<ref name="Zarnocki" /> They were one metre long, designed to cut rather than thrust, with an ''S''-shaped crossguard. As in many medieval swords, the heavy pommel balanced the blade and could be used for striking in close combat. The other version, which became popular in the second half of the century. was of similar design except for the quillon, which was curved towards the blade for the purpose of breaking or clinching the enemy's blade. The 130–140&nbsp;cm long [[bastardsword]]s also came into use. As a [[companion weapon]], daggers of saw-toothed and flame-form type were applied (both with ring-guard) and a [[Misericorde (weapon)|misericordia]].
 
*Apart from these, they carried auxiliary weapons, such as Gothic maces, [[mace (bludgeon)|flanged maces]], axes, crossbows (''balistrero ad cavallo'') and short shields similar in design to the [[pavise]] (''petit pavois'') for defense.<ref name="Zarnocki"/>
 
 
 
===Light cavalry===
 
The traditional [[hussar]]s were introduced by Matthias; henceforth, the light cavalry is called ''huszár'', a name derived from the word ''húsz'' ("twenty" in English), which refers to the drafting scheme where for every twenty serfs a noble owned, he had to equip a mounted soldier. After the Diet of Temesvár (Timişoara) of 1397, the light cavalry was institutionalized as an army division. They were the second ranked in order within an army and generally considered an elite force. They assembled from the ''militia portalis'', a significant number of them ''insurrectios'', the [[Moldavia]]ns and [[Transylvania]]ns with the first having serfs with lesser accoutrement and the latter generally regarded as good horsearchers. They were divided into groups of 25 (''turma'') led by a captain (''capitaneus gentium levis armature''). Their field of operation was scouting, securing, prowling, cutting enemy supply lines, and disarraying them in battle. They also served as an additional maneuverable flank (for swooping advance attacks) to strong centers of heavy cavalry.

Helmet, mail shirt, sabre, targe, spear and, in some cases, throwing axes and topors.
 
*[[Sabre]]s (''szablya''): one type followed the tradition of southern European longswords (''S''-shaped crossguard), while gradually transforming into an Eastern-style blended (Turkish) sabre. The other type was the so-called ''huszarszablya'' (hussarsabre), a 40&nbsp;mm thick multi-layered sabre stuck with 3–6 rivets.
 
*[[Mounted archery|Bows]]: the traditional Magyar composite bow and, due to heavy Eastern influence, the more powerful Turkish-Tatar bow came into play.
 
*[[Throwing axe|Axes]]: throwing axes could also have had some role in light-cavalry tactics. It was made from one piece of metal, with a short engraved haft. If the arc of the blade is almost flat or slightly curved, it is called the "Hungarian-type axe". A subsidiary to the aforementioned beaked pickaxe was also favoured: it had a beak-like, protruding edge, resulting in a stronger piercing effect.<ref name="Zarnocki"/>

Infantry was less important but formed a stable basis in the integrity of an army. They were organized from mixed ethnicities and were composed of heavy infantry, shielded soldiers, light infantry and fusiliers. Their characteristics include the combination of plate and mail armour and the use of the pavises (these painted willow-wood large shields were often ornamented and covered with leather and linen). The latter served multiple purposes: to hold off enemy attacks, to cover ranged infantry shooting from behind (fusiliers engage first, the archers fire constantly), and moveable hussite-style ''[[Laager|tabor]]'' (with a restricted deployment of [[war wagons]] in number). The infantry contained [[Swiss pikemen]], who were held in high honour by the king.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://aregmultajelenben.shp.hu/hpc/web.php?a=aregmultajelenben&o=a_fekete_sereg_eloadas_6Tj|title=A Fekete Sereg előadás|website=aregmultajelenben.shp.hu}}</ref>
 
 
 
In 1481, the Black Army's infantry was described as:
 
 
 
{{Quotation|"The third form of the army is the infantry, which divides into various orders: the common infantry, the armoured infantry, and the shield bearers.... The armored infantry and shield bearers cannot carry their armor and shields without pages and servants, and since it is necessary to provide them with pages, each of them requires one page per armor and shield and double bounty. Then there are the handguners... These are very practical, set behind the shield-bearers at the start of the battle, before the armies engage, and in defense. Nearly all of the infantry and arbusiers are surrounded by armored soldiers and shield-bearers, as if they were standing behind a bastion. The large shields set together in a circle present the appearance of a fort and similar to a wall in whose defense the infantry and all those among them fight almost as if from behind bastion walls or ramparts and at the given moment break out from it."|Matthias Corvinus's letter to Gabriele Rangoni, [[Bishop of Eger]]<ref>Clifford Rogers, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Medieval Warfare and Military Technology, 2010, p. 152</ref>}}
 
 
 
====Weaponry====
 
[[Ranged weapons|Various long-range weapons]] including bows, crossbows, and arquebuses; all sorts of [[melee weapon]]s, halberds, pikes, and awl-pikes; hussite/peasant weapons such as slings and flails; hand weapons such as [[Morning star (weapon)|morgensterns]] and war-hammers; and classical swords and sabres.
 
*Melee weapons: [[Corseque]]s, [[glaive]]s, [[Partisan (weapon)|partisans]], [[Friaul|Friulian]] spears, and [[halberd]]s were all adapted depending on the social class and nationality of the infantrymen.  The 15th-century type of halberd was a transition that mixed the hatchet with the awl-pike, sometimes affixed with a "beak" that was used to pull a knight off his horse and to increase its piercing impact. They were covered with metal langlets on the side to prevent being cut in two.
 
*Archery: The most valuable archers were the crossbowmen. Their number in Matthias' service reached 4,000 in the 1470s. They used sabres as a secondary weapon (which was unusual for infantry in those ages). Their primary advantage was the ability to shoot heavy armour, while the disadvantages were that they required defense to protect them while moving slowly in a standing position.
 
*Arquebusiers: These gunpowder troops charged in the early stages of battle. Their aiming ability, price and the danger of primitive handcannons (self-exploding) prevented them from being highly effective, especially against smaller groups of people or hand-to-hand combat. A distinctive Hungarian feature was that they did not use a fork to stabilize their guns but put it on top of the pavese instead (or in some cases, on the parapet of a wagon). Two types were simultaneously brought to practice, the ''schioppi'' (handgun) in the beginning, and later the ''arquebus à croc'' (not to be confused with cannons). Three classes of handguns were distinguished: the "bearded" light guns; forked guns; the first primitive muskets (irontube compounded with wooden grip to be pushed against the shoulder). Their calibers varied from 16 to 24&nbsp;mm.<ref name="Zarnocki"/>

The disadvantage of having periodically or occasionally paid recruits was that if their money had not arrived on time, they simply left the battlefield, or – in a worse scenario – they revolted, as has happened in several instances. Since they were the same skilled men-at-arms led by the same leaders previously fighting under the Hungarian flag, they were as difficult to eliminate as the Black Army was to its enemies.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} However, they could be outnumbered, since it was always a flank or division which quit the campaign. An easier solution was to have the captain accept some lands and castles to be mortgaged in return of service (in one occasion the forts of Ricsó (Hričovský hrad) and Nagybiccse (Bytča) to František Hag).{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} An example of mass desertion occurred in 1481 when a group of 300 horsemen joined the opposing [[Holy Roman Empire|Holy Roman]] forces.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} One of these recorded insurrections was conducted by Jan Švehla, who accompanied Corvinus to [[Slavonia]] in 1465 to beat the Ottomans; but when they were approaching [[Zagreb]], Švehla asked for royal permission to officially quit the offensive with his mercenaries due to financial difficulty.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}} His request was denied, and as a consequence, he and two of his vice-captains left the royal banner along with their regiments.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}}
 
 
 
Following their breakaway, George of Poděbrady secretly supported their invasion into the [[Comitatus (Kingdom of Hungary)|Comitatus]] of [[Nitra]] and their occupation of the fort of [[Veľké Kostoľany|Kosztolány]], as the army was composed of Bohemian-Moravian professionals previously in service for George and [[Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor|Frederick III]].

The fort and its looting inhabitants had a surrounding sphere of influence ranging from the valleys of [[Váh]] and [[Nitra]] to the eastern provinces of Austria. Matthias realized the threat and ordered two of his "upper-land" captains to besiege Kosztolany, namely Stephen Zápolya and Ladislaus Podmaniczky. After returning from Slavonia, the king joined the siege. It is worth mentioning that here, among few occasions, Matthias cooperated with Frederick. He sent a strong-armoured mounted troop led by commander Ulrich von Grafeneck to help wipe out these brigades. When he reached [[Bratislava|Pozsony]] ([[Bratislava]]), he was reinforced by Knight Georg Pottendorfer with his 600 crusader cavalry. This totaled 8–10 thousand people ready to besiege, who began an assault after taking some minor fortifications on 1 January 1467. The vanguards of the Black Army officers were all present against their former ally. They included the [[Palatine (Kingdom of Hungary)|Palatine]] [[Michael Ország]], Jan Jiskra, Jan Haugwitz, Balázs Magyar, Pál Kinizsi, Nicholaus Ujlaki [[Ban of Macsó]] (Mačva), and Peter Sobi Ban of Bosnia-Croatia-Dalmatia, with the latter-most dying in the assault. Before the siege began, Matthias offered Švehla the chance to return to his service in exchange for an unconditional surrender on all grounds. After a refusal, he immediately began the siege and the cannon firing despite the harsh winter conditions. Švehla and his 2,500 men (and additional citizens) resisted the superior besiegers, but food storages reached extremely low levels and all the efforts to break out were unsuccessful, so he decided to capitulate twice to Matthias with the aforementioned taking his revenge in rejecting it. After three weeks, Švehla feigned a breakout attempt in the front while getting out from the rear through a water channel. Though his physically weak and exhausted entourage of 2,000 infantry tried to elude the besieging forces, they were not fast enough to escape safely. Balázs Magyar and Pál Kinizsi rode down to the fort of [[Csejte]] ([[Čachtice]]), where they clashed. Almost all of the rioters fell, only 250 taken as prisoners. Svehla evaded capture again but was put in custody by peasants by the time he was too debilitated to fight.
 
 
 
Matthias doomed him to be hanged up along with the remaining couple of hundred prisoners. This was a rather violent act regarding the campaigns of King Matthias Corvin. On the very next day, 31 January 1467, witnessing the executions, the garrison asked for mercy, and it was granted; and after taking Kosztolány, he also offered František Hag – officer member of the resistance group – captainship in the Black Army, since he found him skilled enough. In another case in 1474, František Hag revolted due to lack of pay, but the conflict ended without violence, and he remained Matthias' subject until his death.<ref name="EKP"/><ref name="Zrinyi 2">{{cite book|pages=19–24|chapter=Miért került bitófára Svehla?|trans-chapter=Why does Swehla happened to be hung?}}</ref><ref>{{cite book

[[File:Hungarian post-Matthias succession wars (1490-94).jpg|right|200px|thumb|Actions of the Black Army after the death of King Matthias]]
 
Before his death on 6 April 1490, King Matthias asked his captains and barons to pledge an oath to his son [[John Corvinus]] and secure his succession to the throne. Though John was the biggest estate holder in Hungary and had the command over the Black Army, his stepmother, Queen [[Beatrice of Naples]], invited two heirs, the Holy Roman Emperor [[Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor|Maximilian I]] and Polish prince [[John I Albert]], for an assembly to be held at [[Buda]] to discuss who would inherit the throne. The first based his claim on the [[Peace Treaty of Wiener Neustadt]], while the latter on his family ties. Furthermore, the Hungarian barons invited a third pretender, the King of Bohemia and brother of John Albert, [[Vladislaus II of Hungary|Vladislaus II]]. After the barons double-crossed John Corvinus, he escaped from the capital and was moving to [[Pécs]], when he was attacked midway at Szabaton village and suffered a defeat from which he could retreat. No parts of the Black Army were – yet – involved, as their core was stuck in [[Silesia]] and [[Styria]]. Their famed captains [[Blaise Magyar]] and Paul Kinizsi joined the pretenders' side, John Albert and Vladislaus, respectively; the latter subsequently became the legitime king.<ref name="Bánlaky1">{{cite book

Maximilian immediately attacked the conquested territories in Austria in 1490. The Black Army fortified itself in the occupied forts on the western border. Most of them were captured by trick, bribery, or citizen revolt in a few weeks without any major battles. The trenchline along the river [[Enns (river)|Enns]], which was built by mercenary captain Wilhelm Tettauer, resisted quite successfully for a month. Due to the lack of payment, some of the Black Army mercenaries, mostly Czechs, switched sides and joined the Holy Roman army of 20,000 men in invading Hungary. They advanced in the heart of Hungary and managed to capture the city of [[Székesfehérvár]], which he sacked, as well as the tomb of King Matthias, which was kept there. His [[Landsknecht]]s were still unsatisfied with the plunder and refused to go for taking Buda. He returned to the Empire in late December but left garrisons of a few hundred soldiers in those Hungarian cities and castles he occupied.<ref name="Bánlaky2">{{cite book

The National Council of the barons decided to recuperate the cities lost, especially Székesfehérvár. The Black Army was put on reserve at [[Eger]], but their payment of 46,000 forints was late again, so they robbed the neighboring monasteries, churches, peasantries and lorddoms. After their dues were paid, appointed captain Steven Báthory gathered an army of 40,000 soldiers and began the siege in June 1491, which lasted for a month. More minor cities were regained, and without further support from the German nobility, Maximilian agreed to negotiate, and in the end, he signed the [[Peace of Pressburg (1491)|Peace of Pressburg]] in 1491, which included ceding the Silesian lands to him.<ref name="Bánlaky2" /> John Haugwitz never recognized this treaty and held their possessions in Silesia afterwards.<ref name="Haugwitz" />
 
 
 
Meanwhile, disappointed John Albert gathered an army at the eastern border of Hungary and attacked the vicinity of Kassa ([[Košice]]) and [[Tokaj]], also in 1490. John Corvinus accepted Vladislaus as his feudal lord and helped him in his coronation (he personally handed the crown to him). Vladislaus married widowed Queen Beatrice in order to acquire her assets of 500,000 forints. This would have allowed him to cover the expenses of the Black Army stationed in [[Moravia]] and upper Silesia and the cost of transporting them home to Upper Hungary to defend it from the Polish army of John Albert.<ref name="Bánlaky2" /> [[John Filipec]], on the behalf of the new king, helped to convince Silesian Black Army leader John Haugwitz to return to duty in exchange for 100,000 forints.

The Black Army was sent to the south region to fight the Ottoman invasions. While waiting for their wages, they sought plunder in the nearby villages. The National Council ordered Paul Kinizsi to stop the plundering at all costs. He arrived in Szegednic-Halászfalu in late August 1492, where he dispersed the Black Army led by Haugwitz. Of the 8,000 members, 2,000 were able to escape to western [[Styria]], where they continued to pillage the countryside.<ref name="Haugwitz" /> The prisoners were escorted to Buda, where the Black Army was officially disbanded and they were allowed to leave abroad under the condition never to come back and claim their payment.

The last remaining mercenaries were integrated into local garrisons, such as the one in [[Nándorfehérvár]] ([[Belgrade]]) under the leadership of Balthasar Tettauer, brother of Wilhelm Tettauer. They were so frustrated about their financial status that they allied with Ottoman [[Mihaloğlu Ali Bey]] to handle secretly the fort to his Sultan, [[Bayezid II]].

He was promised that Frederick III would join, but it remained oral aid. The defeat at Vilémov happened to be a surrender by Matthias without actual battle due to him wrongly choosing the battleground. He was easily encircled by George of Poděbrady and was left with no option but to set an agreement. They met in a cottage in Ouhrov where they settled the conflict under the terms by which Matthias would help George's coronation be acknowledged by [[Pope Paul II]]. Furthermore, the succession of the Bohemian crown was set between the two kings with George ruling until his death and Matthias inheriting the throne afterwards.

Caused and followed by an internal revolt of [[Upper nobility (Kingdom of Hungary)|Hungarian nobles]] and religious leaders led by [[Janus Pannonius]], [[János Vitéz (archbishop)|János Vitéz]], and Emeric Zápolya. Casimir IV of Poland was invited and supported by the rebelling nobles so he stepped in and sent his son [[Saint Casimir|Casimir]] as a pretender to the Hungarian throne. He was promised Hungarian reinforcement as the nobles were to join him when he crossed the border. He led his army of 12,000 men towards [[Košice|Kassa]] where he was about to take the city without resistance. Meanwhile, Matthias was able to settle his dispute with the rebelling factions and convinced them to take his side. The parties agreed and so did Zápolya along with Nicolaus Chiupor de Monoszló who stopped the approaching Polish invasion from attempting to besiege Kassa by taking the city before him and fortifying themselves in. The prince turned to Nitra instead and occupied it. Matthias arrived there to liberate the city with his army of 16,000 mercenaries and banderias (banners). From this point on, the events are unclear; what is sure is that Casimir retreated with an escort cavalry and the rest of the Polish main forces were released shortly after. Finally the conflict was settled in the [[Treaty of Ófalu]]<ref>{{cite book

Italian historian [[Antonio Bonfini]] commissioned by Matthias refers to it as being a siege, which resulted in heavy loss for the besieged due to famine for the first wave.

He recalls the nobility's actions as betrayal and Casimir's steps as aid or some sort of help for the counts of Hungary.

*Famine caused by siege
 
*Casimir's disappointment with his former Hungarian allies and frustration that the project became more difficult to carry out
 
*Agreement of military matters with Matthias on diplomatic grounds (''status quo'')
 
*Mediation of the pope and his calling for peace
 
*Casimir's fear of being captured and Matthias' fear of triggering a possible "official" war with Casimir IV (reason for letting them retreat)
 
*Intrigue of the [[Upper nobility (Kingdom of Hungary)|nobility]] to both sides|group="nb"}}
