The genetic distinctiveness of King Matthias Corvinus has been identified, and the legendary Hungarian king’s remains can finally be located within the Székesfehérvár Ossuary. The search, taken on by Human Resources Minister Miklós Kásler and his team from the Hungarian Research institute (MKI), will be far from easy.
Minister Kásler said that with current archaeogenetic technology, researchers now have the opportunity to accurately analyze the remains of kings and identify their genes.
So far, only the bones of Béla III and his wife were successfully distinguished in 1848, but some still argue that the remains are actually those of Kálmán (Coloman The Learned/Coloman The Book-Lover). Either way, they gave archaeologists the ability to identify the genetic distinctiveness of the Árpád dynasty.
