[edit] King Vladislaus or Wladislaus (never Ladislaus)

The king name was Władysław in Polish and was also spelled: Wladislaus (early Latinized version) or Vladislaus (late Latin and English version), never Ladislaus. This shoud be corrected. Below is a sample of original documents sign by the Vladislaus kings. Althout the form Wladislaus was used more often, in my opinion Vladislaus is much better here, beacuse it is more modern version and more English. Vladislaus Rex 00:33, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Wonder about the current, very Polish name of this article

This guy, Vladislaus III of Varna is also monarch of Hungary. Not only of Poland. Currently, this article resides under Władysław III of Varna. I cannot see why a king of Hungary should have a Polish spelling in en-Wiki, when there are more neutral alternatives such as "Vladislas" available, neither Polish nor Hungarian. A different issue altogether is which of his two realms is the "higher title" or "more important kingdom" meant in Wikipedia naming conventions. However, this cannot continue under that Polish variant of the first name, and with all those diacritical letters (not welcome to Hungarians nor to English-speakers) which are not easy to link to.

[edit] Name as it appears in encyclopedias and dictionaries
