I'm also finished with The Realm of Saint Stephen: A History of Medieval Hungary. It's political, cultural, and economic history. The weirdest moments, so far, have been:

• András II's wife, Gertrude, getting hacked into tiny pieces on a hunting trip by angry Hungarian nobles. The murder was probably motivated by her favoring of Germans, particularly her own brothers.
• Béla IV begging his nobility to support him against the Mongols and them being like, "LOL, no. Everything will be fine!" (Spoiler alert: It wasn't.)
• László IV abandoning his Neapolitan princess bride for a Cuman, possibly becoming a pagan himself, and getting murdered by another Cuman because of romantic rivalry.
• Lajos I invading Naples to avenge the murder of his brother and then squandering all good will by ordering the beheading of Charles de Durazzo.
• Another Charles de Durazzo (nephew and son-in-law of the beheaded Charles) overthrowing and murdering Jeanne I of Naples with Lajos' OK (because she was the wife of Lajos' murdered brother), but then deciding to claim Hungary too after Lajos' death instead of his daughter, Maria. He then sent away most of his guard and was promptly murdered by Lajos' disgruntled widow, Elizabeta Kotromanić, who put her daughter back on the throne.
• Ulászló II declaring war on Lovro Iločki for calling him an ox.
• The Hungarian nobility right before the Ottoman invasion being more interested in enhancing their own wealth than defending the country. (Much as they'd done before the Mongol invasion 300 years earlier.)
