Born in Cluj on February 24, 1443, Matthias Corvinus was the second son of the Romanian voivode Iancu of Hunedoara. Known in Hungarian as Hunyadi Mátyás, in Latin as Matthias Corvinus, in German as Matthias Corvinus, and in Croatian as Matija Korvin, he became one of the greatest kings of Hungary, reigning between 1458 and 1490. His long reign was marked by economic stability, cultural and artistic prosperity, but also by numerous military campaigns against neighbors, including a confrontation with the Moldovan voivode Ștefan the Great in 1467, which ended with the defeat of King Matthias Corvinus. Over time, numerous legends and myths about Matthias Corvinus and his connection with his hometown, Cluj, emerged, shaping his image as a protector of ordinary people, often known by the name of "Matia the Right". At his death on April 6, 1490, in Vienna, people said that "with Matia, Justice also died".
