party fighting against King Sigismund.
Prelude
After the disastrous
Master of the Horse
, and the supporting nobility.
Aftermath
On the news of the Ban's death, the Croatian army rushed to Križevci and began a battle with Sigismund's supporters. In an unequal struggle, thirty Croats fell before they retreated.
Enraged, the Croatian nobility, led by Stjepan Prodavić, tried to take revenge on the king for Lackfi's murder, but they were suppressed, and Sigismund used the opportunity to cross the
Međimurje and other estates of Stephen Lackfi were donated to his loyal subjects, first among them being Hermann II, Count of Celje
.
Bloody Sabor resulted in Sigismund's fear of revenge from Lackfi's men, and led to new rebellions of the nobles in
ducats by Ladislaus of Naples. Finally, after 25 years of fighting, Sigismund succeeded in seizing power and was recognized as king by means of giving privileges to the Croatian nobility.[1]
