ROUND 1B, MATCH 3

WHAT MY PROFESSOR OF MEDIEVAL HISTORY SAID ABOUT THEM

Salamon (Šalamún) 1063-1074

he had several cousins, which ofc is an inherently dangerous situation for an Arpád, so he later made a deal with them and gave them duchies, they even defended the country together

unfortunately, all of this family idyll couldn't last forever, because Arpáds, and as mentioned in the I.Géza entry, one of said cousins overthrew him because of Salamon's attempt at his life

Solomon tried several times to regain the throne, but unsuccesfully, and his support in exile slowly dwindled, untill he was forced to give up and officially declare I.László the true king of Hungary

II.Károly (Karol II.) 1385-1386

only mentioned as antiking for Mária I., overthrown by Zsigmond of Luxembourg, honestly not much to say about this dude apparently
