the chief dignitaries, headed by the Palatine Stephen Zápolya (? – 1499), laid claim to nearly all his remaining estates and involved him in a whole series of costly processes. This they could do with perfect impunity, as they had poisoned the mind of the indolent and suspicious king against their victim. Marriage and issue In 1496 Corvinus married Beatrice Frangepán, the daughter of Bernard Frangepán and Lujza Marzano d'Aragona (b.1455). His prospects now improved, and in 1498 he was created perpetual Ban of Croatia and Slavonia. From 1499 to 1502 he successfully defended the unconquered parts of Bosnia against the Turks, and in the following year aspired to the dignity of Palatine, but was defeated by a combination of Queen Beatrice and his other enemies. He died at Krapina on 12 October 1504, leaving one son, Christopher, who died on 17 March 1505 and a daughter, Elisabeth, who died in 1508. Genetics Recently, his and Christopher’s ossuary remains have been analyzed using DNA sequencing and the results will be published once the project is completed, a collaboration between Hungarian and Croatian scientists. According to the results: just Johannes Corvinus was left in the Admixture analysis. The Corvinus' genome contain the following Admixture component 50% Neolithic Anatolian, 31% Ancient North Eurasian, 8% Iranian Neolithic, 5% Western Hunter gatherer, 3% Early Bronze Age and 2 Han North Eurasian is finno-ugric. Han is chinese. His mother was not hungarian, she was german. From father's side he got 31% Ancient North Eurasian, 8% Iranian Neolithic, 5% Western Hunter gatherer, 3% Early Bronze Age and 2% Han. Probably father was 62% Ancient North Eurasian (finno-ugric-samoyedic), 16% Iranian Neolithic, 10% Western Hunter Gatherer, 6% Early Bronze Age and 4% Han-Chinese.
