Emeric reconciled with his defiant younger brother, Andrew, whom he had imprisoned. He set Andrew free, and made him regent for the duration of Ladislaus"s minority.
King Emeric fell ill with a type of incurable illness.
On 30 November 1204, King Emeric died, and Ladislaus succeeded him. Pope Innocent III sent a letter to Duke Andrew, warning him to respect the child king"s interests. However, refusing to heed Innocent"s warning, Andrew seized the money that Emeric had deposited in the Pilis Abbey for Ladislaus.
Considering her son"s position to be insecure, Constance fled to Austria, taking Ladislaus with her.
