Medieval art and history enthusiasts will want to check out Medieval Hungary, a blog by art historian Zsombor Jekely that highlights art, manuscripts, resources, and news related to medieval Hungary. One of the blog's highlights is a series of images and resources relating to the crown of Saint Stephen, a Hungarian king blessed by the pope in the year 1000. Medieval Hungary also features an extensive list of links to digitized manuscripts from the Bibliotheca Corviniana, a library established by fifteenth century Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus. Readers may check out these two features through the Holy Crown and Bibliotheca Corviniana Online tabs, and can check out Jekely's most recent updates on the site's homepage. At the time of this writing, recent updates include news about the discovery of a mass grave dating back to the thirteenth century and news about a 2016 exhibit about Medieval Budapest and Krakow at the Budapest History Museum.
