Captain in Chief

The Captain in Chief were a group of regents elected in 1445, by the Hungarian Estates.[1] The Captain in Chiefs contained seven members, John Hunyadi, Nicholas Újlaki, George Rozgonyi, Emeric Bebek, Michael Ország, Pongrac Szentmiklósi, and John Jiskra.[2][1] The seven captains would only last for one year until John Hunyadi would be bestowed sole regentship in 1446 by the Diet of Hungary.[3]
