Włodzisław or Władysław (date of birth unknown – died after 944/945) was a Duke of Lendians.[1]

Life

As ruler of Lendians, he paid tribute to Kievan Rus', which is confirmed by archaeological studies and biography of Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos.[2] As evidenced by Nestor Chronicle, Volodislav (Володислав) sent his emissary Uleb to Constantinople in 944/945, when talks on peace between Igor of Kiev and Byzantine emperors, Romanos I Lekapenos and Constantine VII, took place.[3]
