ABSTRACT

The properties of the Hospitaller priory of Hungary had since the reign of Sigismund of Luxembourg (r. 1387–1437) been occasionally allocated to secular governors as remuneration for maintenance of the defensive system against the Ottomans. While it is widely known that a similar policy was continued by King Matthias Corvinus after 1464, it has not been studied in detail. This paper discusses the secular governors of the priory between 1464 and 1490, identifies the priory's estates entrusted to governors and seeks to offer answers about their role in Matthias’ anti-Ottoman defensive structures. Detailed analysis shows that with this scheme, the king aimed to ensure additional revenue for officials tasked with defence of the frontier towards the Ottoman Empire, and that it was an improvised rather than consistent policy.

摘要

自卢森堡的西吉斯蒙德（Sigismund）（r。1387–1437）统治以来，匈牙利的Hospitalor Priory的财产偶尔分配给世俗的州长，作为维持对奥斯曼帝国防御体系的报酬。虽然众所周知，马蒂亚斯·科维努斯国王在1464年后继续采取类似的政策，但尚未对其进行详细研究。本文讨论了1464年至1490年间世俗统治者的世俗统治者，确定了该世袭统治者的财产，并试图就他们在马蒂亚斯的反奥斯曼防御结构中的作用提供答案。详细的分析表明，通过该计划，国王旨在确保负责防御奥斯曼帝国边界的官员获得更多收入，这是一项临时性政策，而不是一贯的政策。
