Foreign politics
Corvinus was very successful in foreign policy and diplomacy. He stabilized his authority and
also the position of the country. He was in touch with the papacy, Venice, Naples and other
Italian states. He conquered Bosnia and then tried to occupy the Bohemian kingdom.
However, it was a big mistake that led to 10 years of struggles. They ended with peace that left
the Bohemian crown to Vladislav II, while Matthias had the Moravian and Silesian territories.
