Wladislaus III of Varna (Polish: Władysław Warneńczyk) also seen as Vladislaus, Ladislaus, Ladislas or Vladislav) (October 31, 1424 - November 10, 1444) was King of Poland from 1434 and of Hungary from 1440 until his death.
Wladyslaw was the firstborn son of Wladislaus II Jagiełło of Poland and Zofia Holszańska.
Hungary was under a growing threat from Turkey, and some Polish magnates did not want to agree to the king of Poland also being the monarch of Hungary, while Elisabeth, widow of the deceased king of Hungary, Albert II Habsburg, attempted to keep the crown for her yet unborn child.

The child was then transferred to the pernicious guardianship of his mother's cousin, Ulrich Cillei, who corrupted him, soul and body, and inspired him with a jealous hatred of the Hunyadi family.
On 28 October 1453 Ladislaus Posthumus, aged 13, was crowned king of Bohemia, and henceforth spent most of his time at Prague and Vienna.
He remained supinely indifferent to the Turkish threat; at the instigation of Cillei did his best to hinder the defensive preparations of John Hunyadi, and fled from the country on the tidings of the siege of Belgrade.

Ladislaus' mother thus compelled the primate to crown the infant king at Székesfehérvár on 15 May 1440; whereupon, for safety's sake, she placed the child in the guardianship of his uncle, the emperor Frederick III (then ruler of Styria and Carinthia), who held him prisoner in Castle Orth and ruled Austria himself.
On the death of Wladislaus I in the Battle of Varna (10 November 1444), the Hungarian estates, not without considerable opposition, elected Ladislaus Postumus as their king and sent a deputation to Vienna to induce the emperor to surrender the child and the holy crown, which Frederick first refused.
