Vladislav II

Vladislav II, originating from the Polish Jagiellon dynasty, ruled as King of Hungary from 1490 until his death in 1516. His reign was marked by internal strife and the weakening of royal authority due to the influence of powerful nobles. Known for his inability to assert control over the nobility, he became a symbol of the declining power of the Hungarian crown, which ultimately contributed to the vulnerability of Hungary against the advancing Ottoman Empire.
