Stephen Ladislaus II (Stefan Vladislav II, Стефан Владислав II) was Serb king, ruler of Srem (1316-1325), son of king Dragutin and Hungarian princess Katarina.
He got from Hungarian court Slavonia as inheritable property in 1292. After king Dragutin died (in 1316), Stefan Vladislav II started to rule state of his father, known at the time as the Kingdom of Srem, but king of Serbia, Milutin, beat him and imprisoned him.
When Milutin died in 1321, freed Vladislav got to rule, with the help of Hungarians and Bosnian ban Šubić, lands of his father, and after he was beaten again by supporters of Stefan Dečanski (successor of Milutin), he retreated in Hungary in 1324. Ban Stefan II then started to rule Vladislav's lands in Bosnia (Soli and Usora), and around Srem were long battles between Serbs and Hungarians.
