Bohemia and Hungary
At one point, the Jagiellonians established dynastic control also over the kingdoms of Bohemia (from 1490 onwards) and Hungary (from 1490 on), with Vladislaus Jagiello whom several history books call Vladisla(u)s II. After being elected and crowned King of Hungary, Vladislaus moved his court to Hungary from were he ruled both countries and his children were born and raised.
The Jagiellonian Kings of Bohemia and Hungary:
- Vladislaus II of Bohemia and Hungary (Vladislaus Jagiello)
- Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia (Louis Jagiello). By Louis' sudden death in Battle of Mohács in 1526, that royal line was extinguished in male line.
- Anna of Bohemia and Hungary, Queen Consort, sister of Louis. Her husband Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor was elected King of Bohemia based on her rights. He was also elected King of Hungary in dispute at first with John Zápolya and then with John II Sigismund Zápolya.
- Isabella Jagiellon of Hungary, Queen Consort, daughter of Sigismund I the Old. She was wife of the King John I of Hungary (the crowned Count John Zápolya) and mother of John II Sigismund Zápolya.

“Well, isn’t Bohemia a place where everyone is as good as everyone else—and must not a waiter be a little less than a waiter to be a good Bohemian?”
