Ladislaus V never exercised meaningful control over Hungary — real power during his reign sat with János Hunyadi as regent, and after Hunyadi's death in 1456, with the magnate factions that had backed him. The king died in November 1457 under circumstances suspicious enough that poisoning was widely alleged at the time, ending a reign that was largely managed by others from start to finish. Gold florins of this period continued the long-established Florentine-weight standard that Hungarian royal mints had maintained since Charles I introduced the type in the 1320s.
