Answer
In 1448, George of Poděbrady took control of Prague. This marked the beginning of his reign as King of Bohemia, a position he would hold until his death in 1471. George was a member of the noble House of Poděbrady and had previously served as the margrave of Moravia. He was elected king by the Bohemian Estates in 1458, after the death of King Ladislaus Posthumus.
