The text of the study focuses on the feasts of Kings of Hungary in the late Middle Ages. Banquets were an important part of life at medieval royal courts, they took place on various occasions – weddings, councils, meetings of rulers or visits of kings to towns. Despite the relatively high frequency of references to feasting, there are only a few reports in the Hungarian milieu concerning the details of the food and drink at individual feasts. In the text, the author focuses on the chroniclers´ descriptions of some important events that provide information about dining and eating at the Hungarian royal court. The aim of the study is to trace what specific banquets looked like, what food and drink were served, how they reflected the social hierarchy of that time or what preparations were necessary to organize a significant feast. Based on my findings, it can be said that banquets served to present the power and wealth of the host; the way guests were seated reflected and symbolized the social status of particular individuals, their relationships to kings, princes, nobles, or prelates.

The study is concerned with the conspiracy against King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary in 1471, probably the most serious expression of opposition from the Hungarian nobility against his rule. It is directed towards the course of the rebellion, which was closely connected with a Polish invasion of the Kingdom of Hungary. The core of the paper comprises a description and analysis of the rebellion of part of the Hungarian clergy and nobility led by John Vitéz Archbishop of Esztergom. The paper deals with the causes of the opposition and the motivation of the leading actors, which led to their open rebellion against their monarch, and participation in the subsequent Jagiellonian intervention. It is also concerned with the question of support for the conspiracy in the framework of the nobility and clergy of Hungary, as well as the fate of the representatives of the Hungarian opposition.
