| Additional information |
Andrew III, the last Árpád king, spent much of his reign fighting off rival claimants backed by the papacy and the Angevins of Naples, who disputed his legitimacy on the grounds of illegitimate descent. Royal finances were perpetually strained, and the tiny fractional coinage of his reign reflects a mint operating under political duress rather than dynastic confidence. When he died without a male heir in 1301, the six-century Árpád line ended, and the Hungarian throne passed to the Angevins he had spent eleven years resisting.
