Bratislava became a site of high international politics in the latter half of the 15th and in the early 16th century, a period of permanent rivalry between the two most significant dynasties in the region of Central Europe: the Habsburgs and the Jagiellonians. The paper outlines a political background of major international events, diplomatic talks and their results. It also describes their cultural and social environment. The analysis of individual contracts, literature and archival materials of that time clearly shows that life in Bratislava was strongly influenced by the initiatives of the Habsburgs, especially the emperor Maximilian I, a founder of a modern Habsburg monarchy.

This paper presents a portrayal of Ján Zápolský the man, based on historical documents and literary output. Zápolský, the only king on the Hungarian throne (from 1526 to 1540) to come from what is nowadays Slovakia, is one of the most contradictory figures in Hungarian and Slovak history. He was de iure elected Hungarian king, but Ferdinand I of Habsburg also had a claim to the throne based on hereditary arrangements, resulting in an insoluble situation which led both men to act in a way that only exacerbated the entire marasmus brought about at the time primarily by Oæoman incursions and their influence on the territory.

The period of King Matthias Corvinus Hunyady (1458-1490) is characterized by general stabilization of the country and by the penetration of Italian Renaissance and humanist influence into Hungary. Bratislava was a frequent residence of the king, who conducted military campaigns from there against Bohemia and Austria. Corvinus' reforms had great influence on the everyday life of the inhabitants. The study gives a comprehensive overview of Bratislava in this period. A favourable spiritual environment was created in the city by the Chapter, which included important domestic and foreign personalities. A scriptorium existed in the city, and the activity of the first printer in the territory of Slovakia - Andrew (1476 -1480) - has recently been confirmed. Much information is also given about the 'Istropolitan' University (1465/67 -1490), in the background of which stood members of the Dominican order. The connection of King Matthias and his wife with the city is also considered. The king was in close contact with the Bratislava city council, and they solved various problems together. The royal palace became a place for the formation of a new Renaissance life style and court etiquette.
