  Seizing the Hungarian throne at the age of fifteen, Matthias Corvinus, 'the Raven King', was an effervescent presence on the fifteenth-century stage. Drawing on sources in several languages, this work charts the odyssey of the Raven King and his magnificent bequest, revealing the remarkable story of a life and library almost lost to history.
