NEUMANN TIBOR: A tatai vár és urai a Jagelló-korban

presumably he did not only visit the castle in transit but sometimes spent one or two weeks there. The monarch's affiliation towards Tata is indicated by the renovation of the castle as well. Further studies will probably increase the number of visits later on. As far as we know right now King Vladislas II's son Louis II (1516-1526) only stopped by at the castle twice during his travels. The management of the two castles was not the responsibility of the provisor of Buda Castle - as opposed to the earlier practice - but of the king's confidents, the castellan of both castles who were the comes of Komárom County at the same time. The political gravity of the two castles was augmented by the fact that the number of royal castles had dropped by the Jagiellon era. Their manors, on the other hand, gained significant importance for the court. The study also introduces the reeves of Komárom and Tata in the era. The most influential were the two Korlátkövi's, Osvát and his son, as well as seneschal Peter, one of the key figures of the politics in the era. They ruled the castle for almost three decades (1498-1526). The renaissance coat of arms carving in the castle museum of Tata, which is dated between 1498 and 1515 by the author, is a token of their presence. The three appendices at the end of the study are about Prince János Corvin's itinerary between 1490 and 1493 and the two Jagiellon kings' stays in Tata as well as the great reeves of the era. 92
