Andrew II of Hungary

Andrew II of Hungary, who reigned from 1205 to 1235, was a significant medieval king known for promoting economic trade and expanding his kingdom's territories. He issued the "Golden Bull" of 1222, which limited royal power and granted privileges to nobles, similar to England's Magna Carta. His reign saw both cultural advancements and conflicts, particularly with the Mongols. Despite his contributions, he faced challenges in maintaining control over his barons, leading to a decline in centralized authority. Andrew II's legacy is marked by his efforts to strengthen Hungary while navigating the complexities of feudal relationships.
