Andrew III of Hungary dies, Arpad line extinguished
January 1301
The last golden twig of the Arpads withered in Buda. Andrew left no male heir, and Hungary plunged into a scramble among Angevin, Bohemian, and Bavarian claimants, each backed by rival factions of the Hungarian baronage. It would take fourteen years before Charles Robert of Anjou tamed the barons and set Hungary's fourteenth-century course.
