Ladislaus I

In 1109 he was unable to compel the Poles to renew their accustomed tribute, but in 1110 he succeeded in securing the dukedom of Bohemia for Ladislaus I. The main interest of Henry’s reign centres in the controversy over lay investiture, which had caused a serious dispute during the previous reign.

In the internal administration both Ladislaus I. and Coloman approved themselves worthy followers of St Stephen.

In 1094 Agram was founded by Ladislaus I. of Hungary, as the seat of a bishop; and on the expulsion of its Mongol colony, in 1242, it was raised to the rank of a royal free city.
