| Additional information |
Ladislaus II's reign effectively ended not by death but by expulsion — he was driven from Poland in 1146 by his younger brothers and the Polish nobility, becoming the first of the Polish princes to lose power through internal revolt rather than dynastic succession. He spent the remainder of his life at the court of Conrad III in Germany, earning the epithet "the Exile" posthumously. Coinage from his eight-year rule at Kraków is correspondingly scarce, the mint output compressed into a politically turbulent period that ended abruptly rather than wound down.
