Stefan Vladislav II

Stephen Ladislaus II (Stefan Vladislav II, Стефан Владислав II) was Serb king (1321-1324), son of king Dragutin and Hungarian princess Katarina. He got from Hungarian court Slavonia as inheritable property in 1292 and after Dragutin's death tried to get his lands as well, but king Milutin beat him and imprisoned him. When Milutin died in 1321, freed Vladislav got to rule, with the help of Hungarians and Bosnian ban Šubić, lands of his father, and after he was beaten again by supporters of Stefan Dečanski he retreated in Hungary in 1324. Ban Stefan II then started to rule Vladislav's lands in Bosnia (Soli and Usora), and around Srem were long battles between Serbs and Hungarians.
