Why would the nobles of Bohemia elect Vladislav II Jagiellon, a foreigner, as King of Bohemia?

Following the death of the Hussite George Podebrady, the Bohemian nobles elected Vladislav II as King of Bohemia. In some cases (e.g. Hungary electing Vladislav III as protection against ottomans) it makes sense, but I don't seem to understand why the Bohemians would do this.

14 grudnia 1658 roku podczas II wojny północnej miało miejsce niebagatelne wydarzenie, Stefan Czarniecki wraz z chorągwiami jazdy przeprawił się wpław przez morze aby zdobyć wyspę Alsen, na której stacjonowali Szwedzi

Wyspa znajduje się od stałego lądu w odległości około 450 m, temperatura wody wynosiła około 2- 4 stopni.

Warunki atmosferyczne jak na początek zimy były względnie korzystne. 14 grudnia 1658 roku wg J. Ch. Paska …”dzień był cichy, ciepły i bez mrozu…”. Wobec braku wiatru nie odczuwano zimna, a wody cieśniny nie były wzburzone. Lód przybrzeżny dla ułatwienia zejścia do wody odcięty został siekierami. Żołnierze ten odcinek pokonali na łodziach, a jedynie konie płynęły bezpośrednio w wodzie.

Akcja była brawurowa, jazda wsparta piechotą cesarską i brandenburską zaskoczyła w takim stopniu Szwedów, że obrońcy wyspy pod dowództwem generała majora Aschberga, zostali szybko pokonani, w czym walny udział miała jazda polska.

Czarniecki, w uznaniu zasług i niesłychanej odwagi otrzymał złoty łańcuch od króla Danii, listy pochwalne od papieża Aleksandra VII i cesarza Leopolda.

Warto przypomnieć, iż ten wyczyn został uwieczniony przez Józefa Wybickiego w Mazurku Dąbrowskiego.

Was Vladislav Roslyakov a psychopath?

He wasn't bullied, had a girlfriend, did well in school, had friends and a clear motive was never really established. Quite different from the usual school shooter profile. In the VK messages that he sent to people, it really shows his suicidal/homicidal ideation and how cold he acted. He had friends and even people to talk to online but had no interest in talking to them and was almost always alone.

I guess this is more of a discussion. I don't know if info about this already exists because almost all of it is in russian. Also got my info from this really interesting documentary.
