Ladislaus
Vladislaus,
Wladislaus,
Ladislaus or
Ladislas (
Bulgarian,
Serbian, and
Russian: Vladislav;
Czech: Ladislav and Vladislav;
German: Ladislaus;
Hungarian: László and Ulászló;
Italian: Ladislao;
Polish: Władysław (with variants Ładysław and Włodzisław), is the name of several central and east European rulers of the past.
The Latin form Ladislaus is derived from the original Slavic
Vladislav and the modern vernacular variations reflect the phonetic and orthographic evolutions of the basic form as it was retained or adopted in different languages. Medieval Latin did not have a universally consistent way of rendering such names, which in turn has led to the various forms still encountered in English works.In the list below monarchs are arranged according to territory and listed under the relevant vernacular forms.
