The Hunyadi family was one of the most powerful noble dynasties of 15th-century Hungary and Transylvania, rising from local military prominence to near-royal stature. Their ancestry combined Vlach, Hungarian, and possibly Slavic roots, symbolizing the multiethnic nobility of medieval Central Europe.

The family’s most famous member, John Hunyadi, served as Voivode of Transylvania and Regent of Hungary, defending Europe against Ottoman expansion.

After his death, his son Matthias Corvinus ascended to the Hungarian throne (r. 1458–1490), becoming one of the most enlightened rulers of the Renaissance. He established the Bibliotheca Corviniana, one of Europe’s greatest humanist libraries, and ruled over a culturally flourishing kingdom stretching into modern-day Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, and parts of Romania.

Johannes Corvinus, the illegitimate but legitimized son of King Matthias Corvinus and Barbara Edelpöck, was titled Prince of Liptó, Hunyad, and Slawonien. Although he never inherited his father’s throne, he represented the last major male descendant of the Hunyadi line.

He died young, likely from illness, though some chronicles hint at hereditary weaknesses associated with stress-related conditions or metabolic vulnerability—traits that might correspond today to mild predispositions in immune regulation or cardiovascular genes.

Christophorus Corvinus, Johannes’ son and Matthias Corvinus’s grandson, was the last male of the Hunyadi-Corvinus line. Dying at the age of six, he never assumed any titles or political role, but his lineage closed a remarkable chapter in Hungarian history.

For this video, I have gathered the raw genomes of both christophorus and johannes.
