Summary/Abstract: There are few figures of such fame and popularity in Hungarian history as king Ladislas of the House of Árpád, canonized after his death. Perhaps only king Stephen can rival his popularity but, whereas the figure of the founder-king of the Hungarian state underwent innumerable changes throughout the centuries according to the current ecclesiastic, political and dynastic interests, Ladislas has always remained an expression of a certain collective spirituality and respect for traditions.
