Biography
Louis was the son of Ladislaus V Jagiello and his fourth wife, Anne de Foix.

His father died in 1516 and the minor Louis II ascended to the throne of Hungary and Bohemia upon his father's death. Louis had been adopted by Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I in 1515. When Maximilian I died in 1519, Louis was raised by his legal guardian Georg von Hohenzollern, margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach.

Louis owed allegiance to the Imperial Habsburgs as a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece.

In 1522 Louis II was married to Maria of Austria, a Habsburg princess, granddaughter of Maximilian I, as stipulated by an Imperial congress at Vienna in 1515. His sister Anne was married to Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, then a governor on behalf of his brother Charles V, and later Emperor Ferdinand I.

Louis died at the Battle of Moh·cs in 1526. Ferdinand and Anne succeeded him in his Kingdom of Bohemia, but Hungary, largely conquered by the Turks, was further put into succession dispute between John Z·polya on one hand and Ferdinand and Anne on the other.

Louis married Maria Of AUSTRIA in 1522. Maria (daughter of Philip I The Handsome King Of CASTILE and Juana Queen Of CASTILE) was born on 18 Sep 1505; died on 18 Oct 1558. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
