| | Ladislaus Posthumus of Bohemia and Hungary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) |
 | | 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. |
 | | As Celje became increasingly inimical towards John Hunyadi, who bore the main burden of the battle against the Ottomans, Celje (and with him Ladislaus) remained supremely indifferent to the Turkish threat. |
 | | When, after the Siege of Nándorfehérvár, Celje was murdered by Laszlo Hunyadi in revange for his assassination attempt on him on November 9, 1456, Ladislaus procured the decapitation of young Hunyadi, who was executed on March 16, 1457. |
