Denier - Mary

Mary of Hungary inherited the throne at eleven years old following the death of Louis I in 1382, making her one of the few female rulers in medieval Hungarian history. Her reign was immediately contested — she and her mother Elizabeth of Bosnia effectively governed through a regency that collapsed into open revolt within years, culminating in Mary's capture by Croatian nobles in 1386. Deniers struck in her name belong to a window of royal authority that was more diplomatic fiction than political reality.
