metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: During the 1401–1403 political crisis in the Kingdom of Hungary, the magnates who were
  hostile to the ruling King Sigismund of Luxemburg and supported instead the Angevin King
  Ladislas of Naples deployed a wide range of propaganda tools for proving the legitimacy of
  their political cause. In a previous study published in this journal (Vestnik of SPbSU. History,
  2021, vol. 66, issue 1, рp. 179–192), I have focused on the Hungarian noblemen’s anti-royal propaganda through the utilizing of political and spiritual symbols (i. e., the Holy
  Crown of Hungary and the cult, relics, and visual representations of St. Ladislas), symbolic
  actions (coronations and oath-swearing on holy relics), and heraldic self-representation (the
  Árpádian double cross). The present study approaches the same topic of anti-royal propaganda
  in the troubled political context of the early 15th century, but from the perspective of the
  elites’ self-representation strategies via the cult of Hungarian royal saints, artistic patronage,
  and heraldic self-representation. The two leaders of the anti-royal movement, Archbishop of
  Esztergom John Kanizsai and Palatine of Hungary Detre Bebek, repeatedly commissioned
  works of art (i.e., seals, stained-glass windows, and wall paintings) which featured prominently
  the images of the three Holy Kings of Hungary (Sts Stephen, Emeric, and Ladislas)
  or displayed the realm’s coat of arms (the Árpádian two-barred cross). The reliance of John
  Kanizsai and Detre Bebek on the cults and images of the patron saints of the country blended
  harmoniously the commissioners’ personal piety with their political ambitions. In the context
  of the early-15th century political crisis, the appropriation of the ideal figures of the sancti reges
  Hungariae became the driving force behind the Hungarian noblemen’s political cause.
