Abstract :The lack of modern scientific work on John Hunyadi led us six years ago to initiate the research work on a monograph dedicated to his life and times, based on a critical re-evaluation of the sources on the topic, and the older and newer literature. In the pages below, we bring to the attention of the international academic community a synthesis of our research, focusing not only on John Hunyadi\'s anti-Ottoman campaigns, as most historians of the topic have done before us, but also on his implications in the complicated politics of Central Europe in the mid 15th century.
