In the pamphlet Catone interprets the comet as an omen of forthcoming successes of the Turks: another interpretation of the same comet of 1472, by the astrologer Martin Bylica at the Hungarian court, made a judgement of it for the Hungarian King Mathias Corvinus (as he has also done for the comet of '68) - the nickname Corvinus was based upon the King's heraldic Crow (Matto + Crow = Mathias Corvinus!?) - there is another Naples/Aragon connection, in that Mathias was married to Beatrice of Naples (also called Beatrice of Aragon) - ---
We discussed before here another illustration of a comet involving Mathias Corvinus:
"The Pope, in his triple crown, seems to be overpowering the Emperor who holds onto the broken spindle which signifies his loss of control over Bohemia. For Paul II had already excommunicated the King and had crowned his own man, Matthias Corvinus."
