▪ king of Hungary

born 1239
died Aug. 6, 1272

      king of Hungary (1270–72), the eldest son of Béla IV.

      In 1262, as crown prince, he compelled his father, whom he had assisted in the Bohemian war, to surrender 29 counties to him, virtually dividing Hungary into two kingdoms; while afterward he seized the southern banate of Macso, which led to a fresh war between father and son in which the latter triumphed. In 1268 he invaded Bulgaria and assumed the title of king of Bulgaria.

      During his father's lifetime Stephen had a double matrimonial alliance with the Neapolitan princes of the House of Anjou, the chief partisans of the pope. He certainly needed exterior support; for on his accession to the Hungarian throne he encountered almost universal hostility because of his alleged pagan leanings, due largely to the influence of his Cuman wife Elizabeth, to whom his father had married him for political reasons in 1255. The malcontents combined with Otakar II of Bohemia and invaded western Hungary; but Stephen routed Otakar at Mosony (1271) and was preparing to recover his infant son Ladislas (the future Ladislas IV), whom the rebels had kidnapped, when he died suddenly.
