2018 is the 575th year since the birth of Hunyadi Mátyás and the 560th year since he was crowned king of Hungary. Printed here are excerpts from Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Endre’s (1886-1944) work entitled "Mátyás király” [King Mátyás]. Matthias Corvinus, also called Matthias I, was King of Hungary and Croatia from 1458 to 1490. He was born in Kolozsvár (now Cluj-Napoca, Romania) on February 23, 1443. Also in this issue is a folk tale about how he was crowned king. By Kóka Rozália.
