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 I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked.... In other words, I don’t improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
“The unruly waywardness that infirm and choleric years bring with them.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
