Wikipedia: John Hunyadi, nicknamed The White Knight was a Hungarian general (1444–1446) and Regent-Governor (1446–1453) of the Kingdom of Hungary.. He is widely celebrated in Hungarian history as its most prominent, successful and powerful generalissimo who promoted a revision of dated military doctrine, as such a recognizably outstanding and iconic military opponent of the Ottoman Empire; in a sweeping scope of European military history was undoubtedly the pre-eminent strategist and tactician of the 15th century in Christendom. He was also a Voivode of Transylvania (1441–1446), the patriarch of the Hunyadi family, and father of the most renowned king in Hungarian history, King Matthias Corvinus.
