IV/43 LATER HUNGARIAN 1245 AD - 1526 AD

This list covers Hungarian armies from the aftermath of the disaster of Mohi inflicted by the Mongols until the disaster of Mohacs inflicted by the Ottomans. 1V/43b is the army of the Crusade of Nicopolis; and 1V/43c covers the great Janos Hunyadi, his son Matthias Corvinus and the famous “Black Army” of mercenaries. The Hungarians became the main shield of Christian Europe against the Turks and their combination of plate-armoured European-style knights and traditional horse archers was well suited to this role.
