Ladislaus Jagiello

Encyclopedia : L : LA : LAD : Ladislaus Jagiello

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

Ladislas
Ladislaus
Ulászló
Vladislaus
Vladislav (Slovak, Bulgarian, Czech)
Vladislovas
Wladislaw
Wladyslaw
Władysław

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:
