Who was Ladislaus II of Hungary?
Ladislaus II, King of Hungary. As a younger son, he was able to ascend to the throne only with the assistance of the Byzantine Empire against his nephew, King Stephen III after his brother's death. Although the majority of the Hungarian nobles accepted his rule based on the tradition that gave precedence to the eldest male member of the royal family ahead of the deceased king's son, the head of the Catholic Church in Hungary did not accept the legitimacy of his rule.
