Wenceslaus III (, , , ; 6 October 12894 August 1306) was
King of Hungary between 1301 and 1305, and
King of Bohemia and
Poland from 1305. He was the son of
Wenceslaus II, King of Bohemia, who was later also crowned king of Poland, and
Judith of Habsburg. Still a child, Wenceslaus was
betrothed to
Elizabeth, the sole daughter of
Andrew III of Hungary. After Andrew III's death in early 1301, the majority of the Hungarian lords and prelates elected Wenceslaus king, although
Pope Boniface VIII supported an other claimant,
Charles Robert, a member of the royal house of the
Kingdom of Naples.
