Ioan of Hunedoara (owner of the castle between 1419 and 1456)
(Johannes de Hunyad) (the owner of the castle since 1419 to 1456) is one of the most important political and military leaders of the 15th century Europe. Ioan of Hunedoara entered in the service of king Sigismund of Luxemburg. He was appointed as Ban of Severin, then Governor of Transylvania. Among the most important military campaigns against the Ottomans are “The Long Campaign” between October 1443 and February 1444 (in Serbia, Bulgaria and Herzegovina). The battle at Varna (1444) when king Vladislav died represented the moment when Ioan of Hunedoara became one of the most important characters in the Hungarian kingdom. In 1446 he was elected Governor of Hungary and protector of the new child-king Ladislau the 5th). In 1448 he was defeated in the battle of Kosovopolje (Serbia). But the most important was the battle at Belgrad, in 1456 against the Sultan Muhammad the 2nd (conqueror of Constantinopole). The Sultan was forced to abandon the offensive to the Western Europe. Ioan of Hunedoara died of plague soon after this battle, in August 11.
