Czech General Jan Jiskra of Brandyz campaigned in Upper Hungary on behalf of the infant-King Ladislav V (posthumous son of Albert of Hungary) against Regent Jan Hunyadi, most notably at Lucenec, in modern Slovakia. Jiskra’s Bohemian mercenaries won decisively, though Jiskra was driven out two years later when Ladislav succeeded to the Hungarian throne.
