Breakthrough in mystery of 500-year-old skull found in basilica

An unidentified skull found in a Hungarian basilica may belong to King Matthias Corvinus, who ruled in the 15th century.
Researchers believe the skull bears a resemblance to that of Corvinus's illegitimate son.
The skull was discovered in the Basilica of the Virgin Mary, a historical burial site for Hungarian kings.

Further DNA testing is required to confirm the skull's identity.
