László Hunyadi or Ladislaus Hunyadi (Slovak: Ladislav Huňady; 1431 [1] – 16 March 1457) was a Hungarian nobleman. Ladislaus Hunyadi was the elder of the two sons of John Hunyadi, voivode of Transylvania and later regent of the Kingdom of Hungary, and Elizabeth Szilágyi.
Ladislaus V, more commonly known as Ladislaus the Posthumous (Hungarian: Utószülött László; Croatian: Ladislav Posmrtni; Czech: Ladislav Pohrobek; German: Ladislaus Postumus; 22 February 1440 – 23 November 1457), was Duke of Austria and King of Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia.
Ladislaus Hunyadi was executed, causing a rebellion that forced King Ladislaus to flee Hungary. After the King died unexpectedly, Matthias's uncle Michael Szilágyi persuaded the Estates to unanimously proclaim the 14-year-old Matthias as king on 24 January 1458.
It was then that Ladislaus, now aged four, was recognized as king. Actual power, however, lay in the hands of the regent János Hunyadi, who officially represented the child-king but was in fact the driving force behind Ladislaus’s waning influence on Hungarian affairs.
