Sobiesław Szybkowski: Polish-Hungarian Relations between 1437 and 1490. A Short Introduction
XXIII announced on 8 December 1474. According to this, the armistice between Vladislaus II and Matthias Corvinus was supposed to last until 25 May 1477. Casimir Jagiellon was mentioned solely as his son’s supporter. It was emphasised that military actions in Silesia had not broken the peace signed in Stará Ves. Emperor Frederick III, as the supporter of the Jagiellons, could join the armistice within 13 weeks. 75 The peace of Wrocław ended the military stage of the war waged for the Kingdom of Bohemia by Matthias Corvinus and the Jagiellons. The ultimate division of Bohemia between the two kings, Matthias and Vladislaus, was confirmed by signing the peace in Olomouc on 7 December 1478. It was ra tified by both Vladislaus II and Matthias in a congress held in Olomouc in July 1479. Casimir Jagiellon, King of Poland, did not participate in the proceedings. Vladislaus II remained the ruler of Bohemia proper with Prague, whereas Matthias ruled over Moravia, Silesia and Lusatia. Vladislaus II only had the right to purchase the Bohemian territories held by Matthias, if the Hungarian king did not leave any descendants. 76 While the Jagiellons and Matthias Corvinus were fighting over Bohemia, the rivalry between Poland and Hungary over the supremacy of Moldavia was put on the back burner. When Matthias was defeated in 1467, Casimir Jagiellon decided to strengthen his relationship with Stephen the Great. In 1468 he sent Polish reinforcements to Stephen because he was anxious that Corvinus might invade Moldavia again. However, in the years between 1468 and 1470 the Polish king was also trying to use diplomatic measures to induce the Moldavian ruler to swear allegiance to him, but Stephen hesitated and finally chose to refuse him. This cannot be interpreted as breaking the political ties with the Kingdom of Poland, as we know that in 1471 the Moldavian ruler supported Hungarian plotters who wanted to overthrow King Matthias and enthrone Prince Casimir. Stephen undoubtedly acted this way on behalf of the Polish king.77 Stephen was more and more anxious about the Turkish and Tatar threat to his country. Therefore, he wanted to ask for military aid either from Poland or from Hungary. However, due to its involvement in the Bohemian conflict, Hungary could not provide adequate help. In 1473 Stephen was trying to take the initiative in the conflict with the Turks. He invaded Wallachia and tried to overthrow Radu, who was an ally of the Ottomans, and enthrone his own candidate. He hoped this would protect Moldavia against Turkish aggression from the south. However, 75 Długosz, Lib.
