Note	Originaly named Jagiello. Also grand duke of Lithuania (1377-1401). He founded the Jagiellon dynasty and made Poland a great power in eastern Europe. Jagiello succeeded his father in 1377. Lithuania was then a pagan country, but when Jagiello married Jadwiga, queen of Poland, and ascended the Polish throne, he accepted the Roman Catholic faith of the Poles, taking the name Wladyslaw II. The following year Christianity was officially introduced in Lithuania, and Wladyslaw himself destroyed the idols he had worshiped. In 1392 Wladyslaw made his cousin and rival Witold (1350-1430) vice-regent of Lithuania, and in 1401 he recognized him as duke, forming a firm alliance with him. With Witold's help, he fought the Teutonic Knights for many years, inflicting on them a major defeat at the Battle of TannenBerg in northeastern Poland in 1410. The wars lasted intermittently until 1432, irreversibly weakening the order's military and financial power.
