Ladislaus I (Hungarian: Szent László, c. 1040 – †1095) is one of the most important kings of medieval Hungary. He was a member of the Árpád dynasty and ascended the throne in 1077. His reign was marked by the stabilization of the empire after internal power struggles, the consolidation of Christianity, and the territorial consolidation of the kingdom’s borders.

Ladislaus was venerated as a saint soon after his death, primarily because of his chivalrous ideals, his commitment to law and order, and his legendary heroic deeds, such as his fight against a robber, whom he defeated in single combat according to legend. He was officially canonized in 1192.

In Győr, a monument commemorates the revered king: a statue on a massive pedestal depicting Ladislaus I in a heroic pose. The monument highlights his role as protector of the country and is part of the city’s historical heritage.
