Denier - Ladislaus IV

Ladislaus IV — known as "the Cuman" — was the son of a Hungarian king and a Cuman princess, and his reign was defined by his deliberate rejection of Christian court life in favor of living among the pagan Cumans on the Hungarian plain. Pope Nicholas IV ultimately placed Hungary under interdict over the matter. The small silver issues of his reign circulated through a kingdom in near-constant internal crisis, with magnates, the papacy, and Cuman tribal leaders all contesting royal authority simultaneously.

Ladislaus was murdered in 1290 by Cuman assassins, ending the Árpád male line's grip on effective power.
