“I personally would highly recommend to readers the English edition of the book, which once again confirms the belief that the Slavic King was not killed at the Battle of Varna, his survival and journey as a repentant sinner and hermit are traced up to his establishment in Madeira.” - Plamen Chakarov
Vladislav Varnensi was King of Hungary and Poland in the 15th century and is commonly believed to have lost his life fighting the Ottomans in the 1944 Battle of Varna.
After ascending to the throne at the age of 10, a 20 year old Vladislav preferred to listen to a Papal envoy rather than believing his trusted advisers, and launched a campaign against Sultan Murad II and the Ottoman empire. The crusaders fell into panic after the King’s troops were surrounded by Janissaries and his horse fell.
One of the Janissaries is said to have beheaded Vladislav and given his head to Sultan Murad.
But did this really happen?
Portuguese legend tells of Vladislav surviving the battle, and finally settling on Madeira.
This book explores the legend and seeks out proof of the truth of this, and other claims surrounding the life – and death – of King Vladislav Varnensi.
