Comment
Vladislaus II was a Bohemian duke from 1140 and then enthroned king by Frederick Barbarossa in 1158 for his help with conquering Milan. He was also present at Second Crusade. During his rule, the first stone bridge in Prague (and third north from Alps) was build (now destroyed, remnants still visible). He gave up his throne for his son in 1172 and died two years after in exile.Interesting fact
