Matthias Corvinus was of mixed ethnicity—Romanian on his father's side (the son of John Hunyadi) and Hungarian on his mother's (Elisabeth Szilágyi)—but through his education, culture, and political actions, he was King of Hungary.
Woow i like your stayle
Matei Corvin was the son of Iancu de Hunedoara so he was half romanian. Țuică is what we call the Pălinca in Ardeal, is not a different type of drink, the same drink but different name. Mămăliga is not the same like italian polenta, it looks the same but different taste and texture. In Ardeal we eat TOCĂNIȚĂ, gulaș is more like a soup, tocăniță is a stew.
