She could not prevent „Kis Károly” from being crowned so she organized a plot against him and had him assasinated. This way she got the power again. When riots broke out she wanted to visit the places herself but on the way her retinue were killed vohereas she and her daughter became captive. They were kept in Port Gemenc. Later she was taken to Novigrad where she was strangled in 1387. She was buried in Zara.
