king of See also:Hungary, was the eldest son of See also:Bela IV., whom he succeeded in 1270. As See also:crown See also:prince he had exhibited considerable ability, but also a disquieting restlessness and violence. In 1262 he compelled his See also:father, whom he had assisted in the Bohemian See also:War, to surrender twenty-nine counties to him, so that Hungary was virtually divided into two kingdoms. Not content with this he subsequently seized the See also:southern See also:banate of See also:Macao, which led to a fresh war between father and son in which the latter triumphed. In 1268 he undertook an expedition against the Bulgarians, conquering the See also:land as far as Tirnova and styling himself hence-forth king of See also:Bulgaria. Stephen was a keen and circumspect politician, and for his future See also:security contracted, during his father's lifetime, a See also:double' matrimonial See also:alliance with the Neapolitan princes of the See also:House of See also:Anjou, the See also:chief partisans of the See also:pope. He certainly needed exterior support; for on his See also:accession to the Hungarian See also:throne, as he himself declared, every one was his enemy. This hostility was due to the almost universal See also:opinion of western See also:Europe that Stephen was a semi-See also:pagan. His father had married him while still a youth (c. 1255) to See also:Elizabeth, daughter of the Kumanian chieftain Koteny, with a view to binding the Kumanians (who could put in the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf.

The See also:lady was duly baptized and remained a See also:Christian; but the adversaries of Stephen, especially Ottakar II. of Bohemia, affected to believe that Stephen was too See also:great a friend of the Kumanians to be a true See also:Catholic. Ottakar endeavoured, with the aid of the Magyar malcontents, to conquer the western provinces of Hungary, but after some successes was utterly routed by Stephen in 1271 near Mosony, and by the See also:peace of See also:Pressburg, the same See also:year, relinquished all his conquests. Stephen died suddenly on the 6th of See also:August
