Anjou Mária, Queen of Hungary (reigned 1382-1395) was the first Hungarian queen who was allowed to wear the Holy Crown of Saint King István.
Mária was the third daughter of Queen Kotromanics Erzsébet, born probably in 1371, during the reign of King Lajos (Louis) I (reigned 1342-1382). Since our Anjou King Lajos (Louis) had only daughters, the question of succession made the ruler think very early about who was the right bridegroom.
There were a few high-ranking men from noble families, such as William of Habsburg and Zsigmond (Sigismund) of Luxembourg, who could be good choices to make his countries (both Hungary and Poland) accept the succession of women.
It was because of her that Zsigmond could become the king of Hungary. Read more about her life on my page, I've just added lots of new information to it:
