HUNGARY: The Arpadian & Angevin Interregnum (1301-1307)
|
|
|
|
Upon the death of Andrew III (1290-1301) and the extinction of the Arpadian dynasty, the throne was claimed by Wenceslaus (age 11), son of Wenceslaus II Premyslid, king of Bohemia, and also by Charles Robert (age 13), son of Charles II of Anjou, king of Naples and Sicily. They both had Arpadian blood: Wenceslaus' great-grandmother was a daughter of Bela IV (1235-1270) and Charles Robert's grandmother was a daughter of Ladislaus IV (1272-1290). Charles Robert prevailed in the factional warfare that ensued, and Wenceslaus renounced the throne in favor of Otto of Wittelsbach, Duke of Bavaria, whose grandmother was a daughter of Bela IV. Otto was expelled in 1307, leaving Charles Robert the uncontested king.

HUNGARY: The Angevin Dynasty - Maria (1382-1387/1395)
|
|
|
|
Maria was the oldest surviving daughter of King Louis I (1342-1382) and Elizabeth of Bosnia. Her marriage to Sigismund of Luxembourg was arranged before her first birthday. When Louis died in September 1382 without a son, Mary (then age 11-12) was crowned "king." Elizabeth assumed the regency. The majority of Hungary's nobility, however, objected to a female sovereign. viewing Maria's distant Angevin cousin, Charles III of Naples, as the rightful king. To strengthen Maria's position, Elizabeth engaged Maria to Louis, the younger brother of the king of France, who had been engaged to Maria's deceased older sister. Charles invaded Hungary in September 1385. Sigismund followed and persuaded Elizabeth to marry Maria to him. He was not crowned or given a role in government, and was unable to prevent Charles from occupying Buda. Fearing for her life, Maria renounced the throne. Charles was crowned king, but weeks later, in February 1386, was assassinated by Elizabeth. Maria was restored with Elizabeth again as regent. That July, supporters of Charles' son captured Maria and Elizabeth (who was executed). During her captivity, the Hungarian Diet declared Sigismund regent, crowning him in March 1387. Maria was liberated in July. She nominally co-ruled, with Sigismund, until her death in labor, precipitated by a fall from a horse in a hunting accident, in 1395.

The San Fan, or Three Feudatories, were Ming commanders who joined forces with the Manchus and were rewarded with control of provinces, which they ruled as virtually autonomous kingdoms. Wu Sangui was awarded control of Yunnan. However, in 1673 the Beijing court decided to abolish the feudatories. Wu rose in rebellion in December 1673, and proclaimed the start of the new Da Zhou Dynasty. He proclaimed himself emperor in March 1678 but died of dysentery that October.

Vietnam (French Protectorate of Annam). Thanh Thai (1888-1907).Barker: 107.1-107.8, KM 628, Yeoman 2, Toda --, Novak 107.
10 van/phan (cast copper alloy). 4.79 g., 26.28 mm., 0â—¦
Obv: Thanh-Thai-Thong-Bao.
Rev: Tap-Van.
The coins were cast by Emperor Nguyen Thanh Thai under the reign title Thanh Thai. Emperor Thành Thái took a course of passive-resistance against the French, making his feelings clear via symbolic gestures and biting remarks. He feigned insanity to escape the constant scrutiny of the French spies who thoroughly infiltrated his palace. With his enemies believing he was a harmless lunatic, Thành Thái was able to work more forcefully for Vietnamese autonomy while waiting for the right time to throw off colonial rule. He was on his way to join a resistance movement in China when he was arrested by French forces who declared him insane and forced him to abdicate.Stkp

Huszár 605, Pohl 141-6 Unger 470f, Réthy II 141Hungary. Wladislaus I (Ulászló in Hun.) (1440-1444). Billon denar, 16 mm.
Obv: * MOnETA • WLADISLAI • DEI • GRA, Polish eagle facing left.
Rev: * REGIS • VnGARI • ET • CETERA, Crowned two-part shield (Árpádian stripes and patriarchal cross), B–P (privy mark) in fields.
The type was struck in 1442 (per Pohl, Huszár & Unger). This privy mark was struck in Buda (now Budapest) (per Pohl).
Huszár/Pohl rarity rating 5. The obverse and reverse legends depicted and described in Huszár and Pohl differ from the legends depicted and described in Unger and Réthy. To the extent that the legends on this coin can be discerned, it appears to conform to Huszár and Pohl.
“Owing to inner strife and disordered general conditions, the coins [of this period] were usually minted with extremely low precious metal content; moreover, poor mintages were often struck with negligently engraved dies. As a result of the hurried, superficial minting, it was sometimes doubtful whether a faulty coin had been issued officially, or was a forgery” (Huszár 1963).
