    I am Matthias Corvinus, a ruler who sought to strengthen and protect the Kingdom of Hungary during my reign from 1458 to 1490. Through military campaigns and strategic alliances, I endeavored to expand our borders and defend against external threats, particularly from the Ottoman Empire. My rule was marked by efforts to centralize power, promote cultural flourishing, and ensure the prosperity of our realm and subjects.

    I am particularly fond of the Black Army, a standing army I established during my reign. It was one of the first professional, mercenary-based armies in Europe, and its success in battle was a testament to my military prowess.
