Something wrong?Crowned at eleven, dead by sixteen, last of his dynasty. Wenceslaus III held three kingdoms on paper and controlled almost none of them - Hungarian barons ignored him, a Polish rival took Kraków, and someone stabbed him before he could fight back.

Born in 1289, son of Wenceslaus II of Bohemia and Judith of Habsburg, he was still a child when Hungarian lords elected him king in 1301 after his betrothed's father died. Crowned that August under the name Ladislaus, he ruled in name only while a dozen magnates carved up the realm; his father pulled him back to Bohemia three years later. When Wenceslaus II died on 21 June 1305, the boy inherited Bohemia and Poland both, then promptly ceded Hungary to Otto III of Bavaria that October. He gave royal lands to his friends, watched Władysław Łokietek seize Kraków in early 1306, and prepared to invade - but was murdered on 4 August before the campaign began, ending the Přemyslid male line.
