MarginaliaThe large dominiō of Ladislaus.

MarginaliaGeorge Pogiebræcius.After the death of Ladislaus, þ^e kyngdome of Boheme fell to George Pogiebracius aboue mentioned, whom pope Innocēt the 8. did excommunicate and depose for his Religion, as is afore declared. MarginaliaMathias Huniades.Furthermore, þ^e kyngdome of Hungarie, was geuen to Mathias sonne of Huniades, who was in captiuitie (as is sayd) w^t kyng Ladislaus, & should haue bene put to death after his brother, had not þ^e kyng before bene preuented with death, as is aboue recorded. Moreouer, here is to be noted þ^t the sayd kyng Ladislaus, thus dyeng without wife and issue, left behinde hym. ij. sisters aliue: to witte, Elizabeth, whiche was maried to Casimirus kyng of Polonie: and Anna,maried to VVilliam, Duke of Saxonie. Elizabeth by her husband Casimirus king of Polonia, had Vladislaus, who at lēgth was kyng both of Boheme and Hungarie. This Casimirus, first was maryed to Beatrix, wife before to Mathias. Then beyng diuorced from her by the dispensation of Pope Alexander, maried a new wife a Countesse of Fraunce, by whom he had. ij. children, Lewes, and Anna. Levves whiche was heyre of both kyngdomes of Boheme, and Hungarie, was slayne fightyng agaynst þ^e Turkes. Anna was maried to Ferdinandus, by whom he was Archduke of Austria, kyng of Boheme. &c.

MarginaliaWarre betwene Mathias & Fridericke the Emperour.Ye heard before, how after the deceasse of Ladislaus, þ^e Hungarians by their election, preferred Mathias surnamed Coruinus, which was sonne to Huniades, to þ^e kingdome of Hungary. For whiche cause dissension fell betwene Fridericke the Emperour and hym, for that the sayd Fridericke was both nominated him selfe by diuers vnto that kyngdome, and also because he had the crown of Hungary then remainyng in his handes, whiche Elizabeth mother to kyng Ladislaus, had brought to þ^e Emperour, as was before declared. But this warre betwen thē, was ceased by the intercession of the princes of Germanie, so that Mathias raunsomed that crowne of Fridericke for 8000. florences.

Not long after, Pope Innocent being displeased withMarginaliaGeorge Pogiebracius by the pope deposed frō hyskyngdome, for fauouring of Iohn Hus.George Pogiebracius (or Boiebracius) kyng of Bohemia, for fauouryng of Iohn Hus, and his Religion, that is to say, for playng the part of a godly prince, did excommunicate and depose him, cōferryng his kyngdome to Mathias. But for somuch as Fridericke þ^e Emperour would not thereto consent, and especially after the death of the foresayd George, when the Emperour and the Bohemians, leauyng out Mathias, did nominate Vladislaus sōne of Casimirus, kyng of Polonie, and of Elizabeth, to bee kyng of Boheme, therefore great warre & trouble kyndled betwene hym and Fridericke the Emperour: MarginaliaAlbert duke of Saxonia.Wherin the Emperour had vtterly gone to ruine, had not Albertus Duke of Saxonie rescued the Emperour, and repressed the vehemencie of Mathias.
