Background
She was the youngest daughter of George of Poděbrady (who was elected King of Bohemia in 1458) by his second wife, Johana of Rožmitál (Johanka z Rožmitálu). In 1460 Ludmila was betrothed to George, only son and heir of Duke Louis IX, Duke of Bavaria-Landshut.
Career
However, the change of the political plans of George forced him in 1461 to dissolve Ludmila"s betrothal with the Bavarian prince and engaged her with the Hungarian magnate Wawrzyńcem Uljakim. In 1464, after Katharina"s death, the relations between the Kings of Hungary and Bohemia become unfriendly. In this situation, George reassumed the idea of a marriage between Ludmila and the heir of Bavaria-Landshut.
This engagement was broken by 1468, when King George found himself in political isolation.
Then, he tried to arrange a marriage between Ludmila and the young Prince Vladislaus Jagiellon (eldest son of King Casimir IV of Poland) but this plan never prospered. After King George"s death in 1471, his widow proposed Prince Vladislaus as his successor.
Shortly after, the Polish prince became in King Vladislaus II of Bohemia, and after succeeded Matthias Corvinus in 1490, he also reigned as King of Hungary. On 5 September 1474 Ludmila married with Duke Frederick I of Legnica.
