white. His parts were See also:good and he could speak and write six See also:languages at a very See also:early age, but the zeal of his guardians and tutors to make a See also:man of him betimes nearly ruined his feeble constitution, while the riptous See also:life led by him and his See also:young See also:consort, Maria of See also:Austria, whom he wedded on the 13th of See also:January 1522, speedily disqualified him for affairs, so that at last he became an See also:object of ridicule at his own See also:court. He was crowned king of Hungary on the 4th of See also:June 15o8, and king of Bohemia on the Iith of May 1509, and was declared of age when he succeeded his See also:father on the 11th of See also:December 1521. But during the greater See also:part of his reign he was the puppet of the magnates and kept in such penury that he was often obliged to See also:pawn his jewels to get proper See also:food and clothing. His guardians, See also:Cardinal Bakbcz and See also:Count See also:George of See also:Brandenburg-Anspach, shamefully neglected him, squandered the royal revenues and distracted the whole See also:kingdom with their endless dissensions. Matters See also:grew even worse on the See also:death of Bak6cz, when the magnates Istvan See also:Bathory, Janos Zapolya and Istvan See also:Verboczy fought each other furiously, and used the diets as their tools. Added to these troubles was the ever-See also:present See also:Turkish peril, which became acute after the king, with insensate levity, arrested the See also:Ottoman See also:envoy Berham in 1521 and refused to unite with See also:Suleiman in a See also:league against the Habsburgs. Nevertheless in the last extremity Louis. showed more of manhood than any of his counsellors. It was he who restored something like See also:- ORDER

It was he who collected in his See also:camp at Tolna the See also:army of 25,000 men which perished utterly on the fatal See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.
