Ladislaus Jagiello

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jagiellon dynasty had multiple individuals whose first name was spelled differently in multiple European countries. The same name could be alternatively spelled:

• Władysław (modern Polish)
• Włodzisław (old Polish)
• Ladislas
• Ladislaus
• Ulászló
• Vladislaus
• Vladislav (Slovak, Bulgarian, Czech)
• Vladislovas
• Wladislaw
• Wladyslaw

Further confusion exists with the numeric ordinal, as the same monarch might be "Wladyslaw II" in one country, while at the same time "Ladislas V" in another. Accordingly, the various variations of Ladislaus Jagiello may refer to any of the following:

• Jogaila (1351?-1434), founder of the dynasty. Also known as:
  • Władysław II Jagiełło, or just "Jagiello"
  • Jogaila, Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1377 to 1392
  • King of Poland as Władysław II (or) V Jagiełło from 1386 to his death

• Władysław III of Poland (1424-1444), son of Władysław II Jagiełło of Poland. Also known as:
  • Wladyslaw III of Varna
  • Władysław VI (or) III Warneńczyk
  • Władysław III Jagiellończyk in Poland
  • Ladislas VI or V in Hungary
  • Vladislas I (= I. Ulászló) in Hungarian
  • Vladislovas II in Lithuania.

• Vladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary (1456-1516), grandson of Władysław II Jagiełło and son of Casimir IV Jagiellon. Also known as:
  • Vladislav Jagellonský in Czech,
  • Vladislav V or IV or III or II in Bohemia;
  • Ladislas VIII or VII of Hungary
  • Vladislas II (= II. Ulászló) in Hungarian
  • Władysław Jagiellończyk in Polish.
