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:
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“And for 180 years almost nothing.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
