  Guidelines for the spelling of names of Polish rulers
However, if the name is a Polish name, then we need the Polish original for researchers to trace for more info in the native sources, and the English name for English speaking readers.
I'll stick in the names where he's important in the history of a country that speaks that language so that, as you say, it's likely to cover all the sources.
His name should also be in Hebrew (and transliteration of the pronunciation) because that was His language.

 Piast dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The branches of the Piasts continued to rule Polish splinter duchies in Masovia until 1526 and Silesia until 1675.
His name was first mentioned in the Chronicle of the Polish dukes by Gallus Anonymous, written in ca 1113.
Although the early dukes and kings considered themselves Piast's descendants, the term "Piast Dynasty" was invented in the 17th century by the historians, working for a number of rulers who governed their duchies in Silesia.

 Jagiellon dynasty - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In Polish, the dynasty is known as Jagiellonowie (singular: Jagiellon); in Lithuanian it is called Jogailaičiai (sing.: Jogailaitis), in Belarusian Ягайлавічы (Jagajłavičy, sing.: Ягайлавіч, Jagajłavič), in Hungarian Jagellók (sing.: Jagelló), and in Czech Jagellonci (sing.: Jagellonec; adjective: Jagellonský).
Jogaila, Grand Duke of Lithuania and the founder of the dynasty in Poland, became king of Poland as Ladislaus II after converting to Christianity and marrying Jadwiga, second of Poland's Angevin rulers.
Jagiellons were hereditary rulers of Poland and Lithuania.

Convention: Avoid the use of acronyms in page naming unless the term you are naming is almost exclusively known only by its acronym and is widely known and used in that form (NATO, laser, radar, and scuba are good examples of acronyms that are commonly thought of as words).
That means: Name your pages with the English translation and place the original native name on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly used in English than the English form.
The guideline concentrates on these cases where this format is not the most obvious, for example, how to deal with middle names, with Iberian naming customs, with disambiguation (when several people share the same name), etc...

Obviously, if they are best known by Polish names (I think Wladyslaw IV is, for instance, if only because there is no English version of that name), that is one thing, but that just isn't the case for most of these people.
It is the Spanish kings named Philip and Ferdinand and the Prussian kings named Frederick William.
Google-searching for a name is perhaps not as reliable as going through a couple of authorative English language books on Central European history in order to determine what the most common "variant" is in English, which is what I presume johnk refers to when talking about the "commonly used English name".

To szopen The Chech and Lech is an old Polish story as is the Krok story.I do not believe, that there are any records at all of Poles, before the Polanen tribes under Mieszko I. And even the Piast rulers were only named Piasts in the 17th century.
BTW(note that One of names writteen in XIII century by Emperor Fryderyk Barbarossa was Frodezlau, not Breslaw).
That big "Polish" kingdom of the 15th century, largest land in Europe is more a myth, perpetuated by English speaking people in the 19 and 20 century, who had a great interest to have the European empires disappear.

That usage, with or without the given name, is the title of the actual chief of the clan or his immediate kin; its use in the SCA represents a direct infringement on actual nobility, and also appears to be a claim to rank, either of which is grounds for return.
However, since the earlier spelling of the byname is dated to the same time period as the given name elements, we have changed the byname to the earlier form to partially meet the submitter's request for authenticity.
Combining the name, the pair of death's heads, and the Roman numeral two (which strongly resembles the astrological sign for Gemini) is highly allusive of both the constellation Gemini and the myth of Castor and Pollux, but it is not presumptuous.

While he insists on spelling Cayor "Kajoor," and its national hero, Lat Dior, "Lat Joor," he adopts the traditional spelling for Gandiole, the Cayor village facing (from time to time) the moving and hard-to-cross bar at the mouth of the Senegal River, rather than "Ganjool," the revised spelling.
Likewise, he accepts "Baol" rather than "Bawol" as the correct spelling of the name of the Woloff polity in which the founder of the Mourides, Ahmadou Bamba, was born.

After the West had bought the discontinuity deception, it readily accepted its corollary — namely, that a peaceful future for all mankind could only be assured through open-ended "cooperation." But in fact lasting "cooperation" with these Leninist revolutionaries is impossible, since their purpose is to dominate, control, and destroy us.

But of course Hass knows about Popa, and he is glad to find that Šalamun has read Frank O’Hara and John Ashbery with appreciation, so that the whole encounter is really about a reaffirmation that, after all, it is American verse and its adopted token foreigners that count the most.
His texts swarm with spelling mistakes, even elementary ones, and his syntax is far from being typically Albanian.” And yet, he speaks powerfully to all Albanians.
For these reasons, he is barely known to the Albanian reading public today, except as a name, and when he is read, his fondness for the alleged archaisms of the pre-Hoxha Gheg dialect are alienating for many.
