king of See also:Hungary, the son of See also:Bela I•., king of Hungary, and the See also:Polish princess Richeza, was See also:born in See also:Poland, whither his See also:father had sought See also:refuge, but was recalled by his See also:elder See also:brother See also:Andrew I. to Hungary (1047) and brought up there. He succeeded to the See also:throne on the See also:death of his See also:uncle Geza in 1077, as the eldest member of the royal See also:family, and speedily won for himself a reputation scarcely inferior to that of See also:Stephen I., by nationalizing See also:Christianity and laying the See also:foundations of Hungary's See also:political greatness. Instinctively recognizing that See also:Germany was the natural enemy of the See also:Magyars, Ladislaus formed a See also:close See also:alliance with the See also:pope and all the other enemies of the See also:emperor See also:- HENRY

Henry IV., including the See also:anti-emperor See also:Rudolph of See also:Swabia and his See also:chief supporter See also:Welf, See also:duke of See also:Bavaria, whose daughter See also:Adelaide he married. She See also:bore him one son and three daughters, one of whom, Piriska, married the See also:Byzantine emperor See also:John See also:Comnenus. The collapse of the See also:German emperor in his struggle with the pope See also:left Ladislaus See also:free to extend his dominions towards the See also:south, and colonize and Christianize the wildernesses of Transylvania and the See also:lower See also:Danube. Hungary was still semi-See also:savage, and her native barbarians were being perpetually recruited from the hordes of Pechenegs, Kumanians and other races which swept over her during the 11th See also:century. Ladislaus himself had fought valiantly in his youth against the Pechenegs, and to defend the See also:land against the Kumanians, who now occupied See also:Moldavia and Wallachia as far as the Alt, he built the fortresses of Turnu-Severin and Gyula Fehervar. He also planted in Transylvania the See also:Szeklers, the supposed remnant of the See also:ancient Magyars from beyond the See also:Dnieper, and founded the bishoprics of Nagy-Varad, or See also:Gross-Wardein, and of See also:Agram, as fresh foci of Catholicism in south Hungary and the hitherto uncultivated districts between the See also:Drave and the See also:Save. He subsequently conquered Croatia, though here his authority was questioned by the pope, the Venetian See also:republic and the See also:Greek emperor. Ladislaus died suddenly in 1095 when about to take See also:part in the first Crusade. No other Hungarian king was so generally beloved. The whole nation mourned for him for three years, and regarded him as a saint See also:long before his See also:canonization. A whole See also:cycle of legends is associated with his name.
