János Wass

János Wass (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈjaːnoʃ ˈvɒʃ]), or "Prince" John (16th century), was an illegitimate son of the ill-fated King Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia, who would die aged 20 at the Battle of Mohács.

His and his mother's names appear in the sources of the Chamber in Pozsony (now Bratislava) as either János Wass, taking his mother's surname, or János Lanthos, meaning John the Bard.

He was never officially recognized as the son of King Louis, but he styled himself a prince nevertheless.

With this financial backing he bought a house in Pozsony, where he lived with family and eventually died.

He had a large family; there was a rumour that his daughter gave birth to 20 children, and he demanded extra financial backing for his daughter's wedding.
