Jogailos sūnus, Lenkijos karaliaus Vladislovas III Varna ne žuvo Varna mūšį , bet 1444 metais apsigyveno Portugalijos Madeira saloje. Ir Kolumbas buvo jo nesantuokinis sūnus.

* Eng: There are also theories that Christopher Columbus was the son of Polish-Lithuanian king Władysław III Jagiellonczyk, who survived the battle of Varna in 1444 and took up residence on the Portuguese island of Madeira. Information about Columbus's Polish-Lithuanian roots in his book "
COLÓN: La Historia Nunca Contada " published the Portuguese historian Manuel da Silva Rosa of the U.S. Duke University. The author has requested to the Wawel Cathedral opportunity to explore the remains of his Lithuanian father King Wladyslaw Jagiello (Jogaila-Lithuanian) to compare DNA with the genetic code of Columbus.[1] Portuguese legend has it that King survived the battle of Varna, by then under the name of Henrique Alemao - Knight of St. John. Catherine on Mount Sinai - to settle the estate of Madalena do Mar on the Portuguese Madeira, which he had been given by the Prince Henry the Sailor. There he was to marry, had a son and died at sea at the age of 40. [2].
* Pol: Pojawiły się również teorie, że Krzysztof Kolumb był synem króla Polski i Litwy Władysława III Jagiellonczyka(syna Jagielly), który przeżył bitwę pod Warną w 1444 roku i osiadł na portugalskiej wyspie Madera. Informacje o polsko-litewskich korzeniach Kolumba w swojej książce "COLÓN: La Historia Nunca Contada" opublikował portugalski historyk Manuel da Silva Rosa z amerykańskiego Duke University. Autor zwrócił się z prośbą do katedry na Wawelu o możliwość zbadania szczątków Władysława Jagiełły w celu porównania DNA Jagiellonów z kodem genetycznym Kolumba.[1] Legenda portugalska głosi, iż król przeżył bitwę pod Warną, by następnie pod mianem Henrique Alemao − rycerza św. Katarzyny z góry Synaj − osiąść w posiadłości Madalena do Mar na portugalskiej Maderze, którą miał mu podarować książę Henryk Żeglarz. Tam miał się ożenić, doczekać syna i zginąć na morzu w wieku ponad 40 lat[2].
