naathDied on this day in 1318 aged 39 Margaret of France(my toy,wikipedia). Margaret was the second wife of King Edward I and the daughter of King Philip III of France. Margaret was 20 when she married the 60 year old Edward to seal a truce with France, but the marriage seems to have been happy. She apparently talked Edward into pardoning many who would otherwise have felt his wrath. After Edward's death she was marginalised, especially by Piers Gaveston (favourite, and possibly lover, of Edward II, her step-son).
Born on this day in 1368 to King Charles IV of Bohemia and Elizabeth of Pomerania Emperor Sigismund(my toy,wikipedia). King of Hungary and Croatia (through his wife), Germany, and Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, his sister Anne married Richard II (who died on this day, but I already did him). Hungary and Croatia seem to have been ruled together for ages, I don't know why. Sigismund did a lot of stuff, which I really don't know anything about (I mean, I read the wiki, but so can you).

Date: 2015-02-15 10:05 am (UTC)TLDR: there was a succession crisis, the kings of Hungary (Ladislaus then Coloman) had connections to the former Croatian king via marriage, and some local support, but apparently this was insufficient to stop Petar Svačić becoming king. At any rate after some fighting Petar was killed and Coloman eventually negotiated his way to the throne.
