Captain in Chief

The Captain in Chief (Hungarian: Főkapitányok) were a group of regents elected in 1445 by the Hungarian Estates to govern the Kingdom of Hungary during the minority of King Ladislaus V. The council comprised seven members: John Hunyadi, Nicholas Újlaki, George Rozgonyi, Emeric Bebek, Michael Ország, Pongrac Szentmiklósi, and John Jiskra. This collective regency, however, remained in power for only one year. In 1446, the Diet of Hungary dissolved the council and appointed John Hunyadi as sole regent, granting him broad authority to address the kingdom's military and political challenges.
