Additional information

Andrew III, the last of the Árpád dynasty, came to the throne in 1290 amid disputed succession claims from the Angevins of Naples, who argued their own Árpád blood gave them prior right. His eleven-year reign was a sustained struggle to hold the kingdom together against both foreign claimants and domestic magnates who had grown powerful enough to ignore the crown almost entirely. He died in January 1301 without a male heir, ending over three centuries of Árpád rule and opening Hungary to the Angevin succession his rivals had long demanded.
