Abstract
The wounding of the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus in the battle of Baia with Stephen the Great, in 1467, is known and true. The issues that need to be clarified and that we proposed in this study, concern the weapon(s) that caused the king’s wound during the Battle of Baia; if there were arrows, how many arrows struck the king’s body; what parts of the body were pierced by the arrow(s); how did Matia Corvin’s wound heal: naturally or through the intervention of a surgeon? All this has given rise to some controversies, which we would like to analyze from the most important known sources
