This book is a welcomed addition to the international discourse on the Angevin history in the 14th century, filling the gap between the older, mostly Hungarian, works published in previous decades and the current augmented interest in the history of the Angevin dynasty.\"—Dušan Zupka, author of \u003ci\u003eRitual and Symbolic Communication in Medieval Hungary under the Árpád Dynasty (1000 - 1301)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, the Capetian House of Anjou was one of Europe's most significant ruling dynasties, with dominions extending across the continent from the French province that gave them their name to the kingdoms of Hungary and Poland.

Author Enikő Csukovits presents more than just the Angevin dynasty's activities in Hungary, however. She explores the Angevins' reign over Hungary within several important contexts: the family's control of Naples, as well as several other Italian city-states and communes; the changing relationships between the Italian and Hungarian branches of the dynasty; the Hungarian Angevins' sovereignty over Poland; and the role Angevin Hungary played as a regional power in the fourteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy examining these diverse Anjou territories with the Kingdom of Hungary in the center, \u003ci\u003eThe Angevins in Hungary 1301–1395\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new understanding of how these territories were managed, the networks of connections that determined their fates, the characters of the relationships between these countries and provinces, and the similarities and differences between these entities' institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: The Arrival of the New Dynasty\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e1.
