Additional information

Ladislaus IV — "the Cuman" — spent much of his reign as a pawn between Hungarian magnates, the papacy, and his mother's Cuman nomadic kinsmen, eventually living openly among the Cumans and abandoning the conventions of Christian kingship entirely. Pope Nicholas IV placed Hungary under interdict as a result. The king was assassinated in 1290 by Cuman tribesmen, dying without a legitimate heir and ending the Árpád dynasty's direct male line.

Deniers of this reign are notoriously difficult to attribute precisely within the 1272–1290 window, as mint organization under Ladislaus was intermittent at best.
