The Raven King by Marcus Tanner
Seizing the Hungarian throne at the age of fifteen, Matthias Corvinus, 'the Raven King', was an effervescent presence on the fifteenth-century stage. This book tracks the destiny of the Raven King and his bequest.
"Tanner has a shrewd sense of character and a vivid eye for detail, and he succeeds in bringing to life the politics of Matthias's reign, with all its dynastic in-fighting and geopolitical jockeying for position"—Noel Malcolm, The Telegraph -- Noel Malcolm * The Telegraph *
