Last Years
King Charles betrayed Amade Aba by having him assassinated by Philip Druget and his supporters. This took place in Kassa just before the Saint Michael Feast on 5 September 1311. Part of Amade’s estates were confiscated and divided between Charles and his supporters.
When we take into considering that from the moment Charales arrived in Hungary as a 13 years old boy, and Amade became his principal mentor and protector, the assassination is that much more outrageous, even for the Middle Ages.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Chrome: her pretty childface smooth as steel, with eyes that would have been at home at the bottom of some deep Atlantic trench, cold gray eyes that lived under terrible pressure. They say she cooked her own cancers for people who crossed her, rococo custom variations that took years to kill you.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“... the girls who came at dawn
To pay a visit to the young child, and how, when he grew up to be a man
The same restive ceremony replaced the limited years between,
Only now he was old, and forced to begin the journey to the sun.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
