  • Marriage (1): Judith of Bohemia in 1083
  • Marriage (2): Judith of Swabia
  • Died: 5 Jun 1102 aged 59

   Another name for Wladyslaw was Vladislaw I Herman of Poland.

  General Notes:

Under Boleslaw's brother and successor, Wladyslaw I Herman, claims to the royal crown and to a more ambitious foreign policy were abandoned. Efforts to maintain centralized power by the palatine, Sieciech, clashed with the ambitions of the rising magnate class. Poland became torn by internal conflicts out of which Boleslaw III the Wry-Mouthed emerged as the sole ruler (1102-38).
_________________________________________

Vladislaw [Ladislaus] overtok regjeringen i 1080 efter at hans bror Boleslaus II hadde blitt jaget bort.

Da hans første hustru, Judith, døde kort tid etter Boleslaus III's fødsel, ble forholdet til Böhmen bittert, og Polen måtte senere betale tributt. Han søkte da støtte hos keiser Heinrich IV. Senere inngikk han ekteskap med keiserens søster, Jutta, men ekteskapet ble barnløst.

Heldigst var han i sine tog mot Pommern 1081-90 og 1092-99, men ellers var hans styre urolig. Den opprørske adel innkalte hans uekte sønn Zbigniev mot ham. I kampen seiret Vladislaw, og Zbigniev ble en tid holdt fanget.

I 1097 ble landene delt i tre, hvorav han selv beholdt de viktigste borgene, men han ga Zbigniev og sin ekte sønn, Boleslaus, hver en del.

Ettter hans død seiret Boleslaus III over Zbigniev og blindet ham.
