WladislawWladyslaw was born on [[March 1]], [[1456]] as son of King [[Casimir IV of Poland]] and Lithuania, a member of the [[Poland|Polish]] ruling [[Jagiellon dynasty|dynasty of Jagellon]], and of Elizabeth of Bohemia.
The Bohemian throneHe was proposed to himthe Bohemian throne directly fromby the vifewife widow of the formerdeceased previous king [[George of Podebrady]].
He was crowned king of Bohemia as '''Vladislav II''' on [[August 22]], [[1471]], and king of Hungary as '''Ulászló II''' on [[September 18]], [[1490]]. His predecessor as the King of Hungary, [[Matthias Corvinus of Hungary|Matthew Corvin]], was previously a pretendantpretender to the throne of Bohemia.
The time after the death of King George of Podebrady was a time of conflict for the Bohemian throne, and LaislausLadislaus couldn't confront it.He,in In the time of his afivallarrival in Prague, he was only fifteen, therefore practically dominated by his advisers.
so he was forced to listen to his advisers.
EvrythingEverything setleledbecame betwwensettled between 1478 and 1479 in the dealing of Olomouc. Then came a agreement between Ladislaus and [[Matthias Corvinus of Hungary|MatthiasMatthew CorvinusCorvin]],in witchaccording to which both shouldof them were entitled to use the title "King of Bohemia" in witch. Ladislaus would reign in the CzechBohemian core lands (Cechy), and MatyasMatthew in Moravia,Slezsko Silesia and boththe Lužictwo Lusatias.In theThe deal wss also sattendedstipulated that in case of MathyasMatthew´s death, Ladislaus would pay 400 000 gold (then, the curencycurrency, not "gold") to the full recreationretaking of the Czech lands. But this didntpayment hapendid not need to occur, due to the fact that ladislausLadislaus became king of Hungary directly after Matthew.
Then came the "Kutnohorian deal" in 1485,witch which practicly eliminated Ladislaus!s' power and grantegranted it to the nobles. Originally the deal should onlyhave takebeen in force only 31 years, but in 1512 it was extended to, in the midlecommon ageterms comonof termMiddle Ages, "all times".
He was married tofour times, once with the widow of Matthew (Beatrice of Naples), and fourth, Anne de Foix, who finally gave birth to his only surviving legitimate children, Anne and Louis. Ladislaus died on [[March 13]], [[1516]], and buried in [[Székesfehérvár]].
He was a very cheerfullcheerful man and as unoficiallyunofficially known in his time as "king Bene" (Bene¨in latinLatin means "Yes"), because to almost any recquestrequest he answered Bene (Yes).
His ten -year -old son Louis succeeded him to the throne of both Bohemia and of Hungary. His daughter Anne of Bohemia (b. 1503) was by an imperial marriage contract in [[1515]] married to [[Ferdinand of Austria]], a younger grandson of [[Maximilian I]] Habsburg, emperor of the [[Holy Roman Empire]]. After death of Louis in Mohacs, the succession devolved to Anne and the cadet line of Eastern Habsburgs.
