Wladyslaw I the Elbow-high

King of Poland
Years: 1261 - 1333

Wladyslław the Short or Elbow-high (or Ladislaus I of Poland, Polish: Wladyslaw I Lokietek; 1261 – 2 March 1333), is a King of Poland.

He is a Duke until 1300, and Prince of Kraków from 1305 until his coronation as King on 20 January 1320.

Because of his short height he is nicknamed 'Lokietek', a diminutive of the word 'lokieć', meaning "ell" or "elbow", as in "elbow-high"
