He became immediately ruler of the Archduchy of Austria and official head of the House of Habsburg, and succeeded soon as King of Bohemia.

Ulászló), but the infant Ladislaus's mother had the Hungarian crown to be stolen from its guardians at Visegrád and have it brought to Wiener Neustadt by a lady of the court, Helene Kottannerin. According to legend, the cross on the crown is askew, because it was damaged during the transport. Ladislaus' mother thus compelled the primate to crown the infant king at Székesfehérvár on 15 May 1440; whereupon, for safety's sake, she placed the child in the guardianship of his distant Habsburg relative, the emperor Frederick III (then ruler of Inner Austria), who held him prisoner in Castle Orth and ruled Austria himself.

In Bohemia George of Poděbrady, acted as regent, and in Hungary John Hunyadi. From 1450 onwards, the pressure of the Austrian estates to free Ladislaus grew. In 1452, they entered into the Mailberg Confederation under the leadership of Ulrich of Eyczing and Ulrich of Celje and freed him by force.

On 28 October 1453 Ladislaus Posthumus, aged 13, was crowned king of Bohemia, and henceforth spent most of his time at Prague and Vienna. As Celje became increasingly inimical towards John Hunyadi, who bore the main burden of the battle against the Ottomans, Celje (and with him Ladislaus) remained supremely indifferent to the Turkish threat. After the death of Hunyadi, Ladislaus made Celje governor of Hungary at the Diet of Futtak (October 1456). When, after the Siege of Nándorfehérvár, Celje was murdered by Laszlo Hunyadi in revenge for his assassination attempt on him on November 9, 1456, Ladislaus procured the decapitation of young Hunyadi, who was executed on March 16, 1457.
