.
At the See also:diet of Buda (1455) he resigned all his dignities, because of the accusations of See also:Ulrich Cillei and the other enemies of his See also:house, but a reconciliation was ultimately patched up and he was betrothed to Maria, the daughter of the See also:palatine, Laszlo Garai
.
After his father's See also:death in 1456, he was declared by his See also:arch-enemy Cillei (now See also:governor of See also:Hungary with unlimited See also:power), responsible for the debts alleged to be owing by the See also:elder Hunyadi to the See also:state; but he defended himself so ably at the diet of Futak (See also:October 1456) that Cillei feigned a reconcilia-
tion, promising to protect the Hunyadis on See also:condition that they first surrendered all the royal castles entrusted to them

A beginning was to be made with the fortress of See also:Belgrade, of which Laszlo was commandant, Cillei intending to take the king with him to Belgrade and assassinate Laszlo within its walls

.
The terrified See also:young king, who had been privy to the See also:plot, thereupon pardoned Hunyadi, and at a subsequent interview with his See also:mother at See also:Temesvar swore that he would protect the whole See also:family
.
As a See also:pledge of his sincerity he appointed Laszlo See also:lord treasurer and See also:captain-See also:general of the See also:kingdom
.
Suspecting no evil, Hunyadi accompanied the king to Buda, but on arriving there was arrested on a See also:charge of compassing Ladislaus's ruin, condemned to death without the observance of any legal formalities, and beheaded on the 16th of See also:March 1457
