Ladislaus IV — known as Ladislaus the Cuman — came to the throne at age ten following his father's death at the Battle of Marchfeld's prelude, and his reign was defined by his preference for his mother's Cuman kin over the Hungarian nobility and Catholic church. Pope Nicholas IV eventually placed Hungary under interdict over Ladislaus's refusal to settle his Cuman subjects or observe Christian marriage norms. His own barons had him assassinated in 1290, ending the male Árpád line within two years.
The denier series of his reign is catalogued across multiple reference systems with minor die variations noted in EK I.
