When King Albert died in 1439 his widow, Queen Elizabeth, hired a Bohemian captain named Ján Jiskra of Brandýs to defend the claim of her newborn son Ladislaus against the king the nobles had elected instead. From 1440 Jiskra and some five thousand mercenaries held the central mining towns, the Spiš and most of the east, commanding from Zvolen Castle and from Košice; for two decades the north of the kingdom answered to him rather than to Buda. In April 1462 he came to terms with the young King Matthias Corvinus, entered his service and was paid off with estates far to the south. His discharged soldiers did not go home: they became the bratríci, the brethren, armed brotherhoods living off fortified camps, and Matthias broke the last of them at Veľké Kostoľany in 1467.Keď roku 1439 zomrel kráľ Albrecht, jeho vdova, kráľovná Alžbeta, si najala českého veliteľa Jána Jiskru z Brandýsa, aby uhájil nárok jej práve narodeného syna Ladislava Pohrobka proti kráľovi, ktorého si šľachta zvolila namiesto neho. Od roku 1440 držal Jiskra s asi piatimi tisícmi žoldnierov stredoslovenské banské mestá, Spiš a väčšinu východu; velil zo Zvolenského hradu a z Košíc a celé dve desaťročia poslúchal sever kráľovstva jeho, nie Budín. V apríli 1462 sa dohodol s mladým kráľom Matejom Korvínom, vstúpil do jeho služieb a odmenou dostal panstvá ďaleko na juhu. Jeho prepustení vojaci sa však domov nevrátili — stali sa z nich bratríci, ozbrojené bratstvá žijúce z opevnených táborov, a posledných z nich rozprášilo Korvínovo vojsko roku 1467 pri Veľkých Kostoľanoch.
