Slovakia after the death of Matthew Czak

Matthew Czak profited from the anarchy that ruled in Hungary. Even after the coronation of the king Charles Robert of Anjou he would still try to hold anarchy as long as possible. Charles Robert, on the other hand, would try to re-establish order in the country, together with normal, peace-like situation. Following the defeat of defiant feudal lords, Charles gradually started to consolidate the situation in the kingdom. However, it was not until after the death of his greatest rival - Matthew Czak, in 1321, when peace and order was finally established in Hungary, but especially in Slovakia. The following twenty years under the leadership of Charles Robert, changed Hungary into one of the most prosperous European countries, with Slovakia as its most industrial part. In 1355, the king organised the legendary Visegrad meeting with the Polish king Kazimír III and the Czech king Ján of Luxembourg. The meeting was followed by an unprecedented boom of commercial activities in Central Europe. It is only obvious that Trenčín now benefited very much from its location at the road junction. The era of prosperity and reforms in Hungary continued also throughout the rule of the next Anjou king - Louis the Great (son of Charles Robert). Under the rule of this king, Trenčín acquired a number of privileges. The neighbouring Czech territory also lived its golden age. The Czech and Roman Emperor Charles IV. of Luxembourg founded a university in Prague in 1348. However, his successor, Václav IV. had to face serious conflicts with the church and the emerging Husite movement.
