This article refers to the 12th century Polish monarch. For the 14th century founder of the Jagiellon dynasty, see Jogaila, and for other monarchs with similar names, see Ladislaus II (disambiguation).

Władysław II the Exile (Polish: Władysław II Wygnaniec; Kraków, Poland, 1105 – May 30, 1159, Altenburg, Germany) was High Duke of Poland, 1138-1146. He was the son of Bolesław III Wrymouth, Duke of Poland, and Zbyslava, daughter of Sviatopolk II of Kiev.

Władysław married Agnes of Babenberg, of Austria (1125). They had a son, Bolesław I the Tall, Duke of Silesia; and a daughter, Richeza of Poland, who married Alfonso VII, King of Castile and León.

[edit] Biography

Following the death of his father, Bolesław III Wrymouth, Władysław II, as his eldest son, became High Duke of Poland. He controlled the high-ducal provinces of Kraków and Gniezno and also his hereditary province of Silesia.

In 1145 he attempted to take control of the country, and mutilated the voivode, Piotr Włostowic. In 1146 Władysław II was driven into exile by his younger brothers, and in 1159 he died in Germany.

In 1163 the province of Silesia was granted to Władysław's sons by Poland's Duke Bolesław IV the Curly. Subsequently Silesia was divided into as many as 17 separate duchies among Władysław's descendants and successors, until they died out in 1675.
