Copyediting comments. - Dank (push to talk)

"He began reigning under his uncle's guardianship, but he took the reins": reigning -> his rule
"Matthias strengthened his rule after a 5-year-long period of struggle.": I'd delete this topic sentence, since I didn't know what "strengthened his rule" meant until I read the paragraph.
"In order to increase royal revenues, Matthias introduced new taxes and regularly collected extraordinary taxes.": Delete "In order to increase royal revenues"; that's implied.
"Matthias overcome their rebellion": ... overcame ...
"an important Ottoman border fort on in 1476.": ... fort, in 1476.
"one of the largest collection": ... collections
"the first country which adopted": the first country to adopt
"the monarch wandering among his subjects": the monarch who wandered among his subjects
