During the long reign (1301-1437) of the House of Anjou and King Sigismund, the Hungarian Kingdom became an influential European state and a center of alliance systems. Possessing the largest gold mines in Europe, it was a strong economic and military power. Chivalry and arts flowered in the dense network of castles and walled towns. Although fights were continuous among the baronial groups, there weren't any serious attacks against the borders of Hungary. Against the looming threat of the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, a system of Banates and vassal states was formed together with a line of border fortresses along the Lower Danube. The military was built on the noblemen's banderia and the armies of privileged military people (Cumans, Székelys), to which was added the Militia Portalis, a number of soldiers to be provided from serf-lots from the 1430s on. For the most part, they were horse archers and light infantry who served to defend the area of the country.
