László II was the second son of King Béla II Of Hungary by Jelena of Serbia . In 1137 his father named him duke of Bosnia , but László quarreled with his brother Géza II and was forced to go into exile. Like his younger brother István , László sought the support of the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos . After the death of Géza II in May 1162 , the throne passed to his young son István III , but the Byzantine Emperor threatened the Hungarian nobility, forcing it to accept László as king. The reign of László II lasted for about half a year, from July 15 1162 to his death on January 14 , 1163 . Almost nothing is known about his short reign. Already recognized his brother's heir, István IV succeeded to the throne. By a wife whose name is unknown, László II had a daughter, Mária. REFERENCES
