Wladyslaw II the Exile (Polish: Wladyslaw II Wygnaniec; Kraków, Poland, 1105 – May 30, 1159, Altenburg, Germany) was High Duke of Poland, 1138-1146. He was the son of Boleslaw III Wrymouth, Duke of Poland, and Zbyslava, daughter of Sviatopolk II of Kiev.

Wladyslaw married Agnes of Babenberg, of Austria (1125). They had a son, Boleslaw I the Tall, Duke of Silesia; and a daughter, Richeza of Poland, who married Alfonso VII, King of Castile and Leon.

Biography
Following the death of his father, Boleslaw III Wrymouth, Wladyslaw II, as his eldest son, became High Duke of Poland. He controlled the high-ducal provinces of Kraków and Gniezno and also his hereditary province of Silesia.

In 1146 Wladyslaw II was driven into exile by his younger brothers, and in 1159 he died in Germany.
In 1163 the province of Silesia was granted to Wladyslaw's sons by Poland's Duke Boleslaw IV the Curly. Subsequently Silesia was divided into as many as 17 separate duchies among Wladyslaw's descendants and successors, until they died out in 1675.
