Stefan Vladislav II (Serbian Cyrillic: Стефан Владислав II; c. 1270–after 1326) was a King-pretender to the royal throne of the Kingdom of Serbia in 1316 and again in 1321, and Lord of Syrmia from 1316 to c. 1325. He was the eldest son of Serbian King Stefan Dragutin (ruled 1276–1282) and Catherine of Hungary. In 1282, Dragutin became ill and abdicated in favor of his younger brother Stefan Milutin, under the condition that Milutin would be succeeded by Dragutin's son Vladislav. Dragutin continued to rule the royal domain of Syrmia, which was later inherited by Vladislav (1316), who tried to secure Serbian royal crown, but failed, and later tried again after Milutin died in 1321, but also failed. He continued to rule in Syrmia until c. 1325.[1][2][3]
