| Additional information |
Coloman — known in Hungarian as Könyves Kálmán, "the Book-lover" — was an unusually literate ruler for his time, reportedly trained for the clergy before circumstances redirected him to the throne. His reign saw Hungary formally absorb Croatia and Dalmatia, and he issued the notorious decree abolishing witch trials on the pragmatic grounds that witches do not exist. These deniers, struck across a reign of over two decades, circulated through a kingdom actively integrating new territories and renegotiating its relationship with both Rome and the Holy Roman Empire.
