Denier - IV. László

László IV ruled Hungary — and its subordinate province of Slavonia — through nearly two decades of chaos: a regency-dominated childhood, constant baronial warfare, and an increasingly fractious relationship with the papacy that culminated in his excommunication. His Cuman mother and personal attachment to Cuman customs earned him the epithet "the Cuman," and by the 1280s he was spending more time in Cuman encampments than in any royal court. Slavonian deniers of his reign were struck continuously through this turbulence under the ban's authority, making precise dating within the 1272–1290 window nearly impossible without die study.
