The rise of Casimir IV

Casimir III dies on 1390 and is succeeded by Casimir IV, the ruler of Slupsk, he became known as Casimir IV of Poland.

Casimir by the grace of God king of Poland, lord and heir of the land of Kraków, Sandomierz, Sieradz, Leczyca, Kuyavia, Pomerania (Pomerelia and Stolp) and Ruthenia.

On 1391, the first thing he did was to sell Galicia to Hungary for 100 000 florens as arranged in 1350.

Casimir IV is allied with Jogaila, his former brother in law, with his late wife, Joanna of Lithuania against the Teutonic Knights, on 1392, Jogaila is married to Sofia, the daughter of the ruler of Moscow and earlier,Jogaila formulated the Treaty of Dubysa, which rewarded the Knights for their aid in defeating Kęstutis and Vytautas by promising Christianisation and granting them Samogitia west of the Dubysa river. However, Jogaila failed to ratify the treaty.

On 1392, Wladyslaw, the son of Wladyslaw II of Opole marries Alexandra of Lithuania.

The Polish–Lithuanian–Teutonic War or Great War occurred between 1392 and 1395, pitting the allied Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania against the Teutonic Knights. The war began by Teutonic invasion of Lithuania in March 1392. The military-religious monks were decisively defeated in the Battle of Tannenberg, one of the largest battles in medieval Europe. Most of the Teutonic leadership was killed or taken prisoner. While defeated, the Teutonic Knights withstood the siege on their capital in Marienburg (Malbork) and suffered only minimal territorial losses in the Peace of Thorn (1395).

On 1400, King Eric of the Kalmar Union, a nephew of Casimir IV was married to Agnes of Poland, the last daughter of Casimir III in order to secure an alliance between Poland and the Kalmar Union.

On 1401, Wladyslaw II of Opole dies, replaced by his son Wladyslaw III of Opole.

On 1402, Casimir IV claims Silesia causing a war between Bohemia and Poland, Casimir IV led his armies to Wroclaw in order to claim back what has been lost in his Kingdom, his armies were joined by the armies of Wladyslaw II of Opole, his loyal vassal, this was joined also by Jogaila of Lithuania, the war was won by Casimir IV, in the peace treaty signed in Krakow in 1403 which had the rest of the Silesian Duchies were returned to Polish suzerainty with the exception of Opava and Wroclaw being a Polish Voivodeship, this war was devastating for Wenceslaus IV which weakened more the position of the Luxembourgs on the Holy Roman Empire leading to the start of the end of the Luxembourg rule over the Holy Roman Empire.

On 1405, The Bohemian queen mother, Elisabeth of Pomerania went to Poland to see her brother, Casimir IV of Poland, Sigismund of Luxembourg was surprised to see his mother go to his uncle who is the King of Poland, he wondered what was the intention of his mother going to see the King of Poland, since Poland has defeated Bohemia in two wars the relation would have worsened but instead, Elisabeth of Pomerania chose to see her brother, who as King of Poland would later be the worst enemy of her son, the heir to the Kingdom of Bohemia.


On 1406, Sigismund of Luxembourg visited his uncle, Casimir IV of Poland in order to make sure whether his mother is still there in Poland, Casimir IV decided to meet Sigismund of Luxembourg personally, he laughed at Sigismund of Luxembourg at the first time he met him and told him that they are both descended from the previous King of Poland, Casimir III.

Casimir IV then told Sigismund that he defeated his brother in Battle as the King of Bohemia and maybe nextime they will meet they will be enemies.

Casmir IV told his son, Wladyslaw to marry someone else that would benefit the country not someone he would marry in order to gain an ally.

On June 4, 1407, Wladyslaw of Poland, son of Casimir IV married Sophia, a daughter of Jogaila, the ruler of Lithuania in order to strengthen the alliance between Poland and Lithuania which is cemented by the marriage between Sophia of Lithuania and Wladyslaw of Poland.

Sigismund of Luxembourg

On 1387, Mary of Hungary and Sigismund of Luxembourg were expelled from Hungary and stayed in Bohemia for the mean time.

Mary of Hungary gives birth to a daughter named Elisabeth on 1392.


In view of his troubles in Bohemia, Wenceslaus did not seek a coronation ceremony as Holy Roman Emperor and was long absent from the German lands. Consequently, he faced anger at the Reichstag diets of Nuremberg (1397) and Frankfurt (1398). The four Rhenish electors, Count Palatine Rupert III and the Archbishops of Mainz, Cologne and Trier, accused him of failing to maintain the public peace or to resolve the Schism. They demanded that Wenceslaus appear before them to answer to the charges in June 1400. Wenceslaus demurred, in large part because of renewed hostilities in Bohemia. When he failed to appear, the electors meeting at Lahneck Castle declared him deposed on 20 August 1400 on account of "futility, idleness, negligence and ignobility". The next day they chose the Palatine Elector, Rupert as their king at Rhens, though Wenceslaus refused to acknowledge this successor's decade-long reign, this was worsened by the Silesian War waged over Bohemia by Casimir IV on 1402 which resulted in the rest of Silesia being returned to Poland.

On 1405, The Bohemian queen mother, Elisabeth of Pomerania went to Poland to see her brother, Casimir IV of Poland, Sigismund of Luxembourg was surprised to see his mother go to his uncle who is the King of Poland, he wondered what was the intention of his mother going to see the King of Poland, since Poland has defeated Bohemia in two wars the relation would have worsened but instead, Elisabeth of Pomerania chose to see her brother, who as King of Poland was the worst enemy of her son, the heir to the Kingdom of Bohemia.

On 1406, Sigismund of Luxembourg visited his uncle, Casimir IV of Poland in order to make sure whether his mother is still there in Poland, Casimir IV decided to meet Sigismund of Luxembourg personally, he laughed at Sigismund of Luxembourg at the first time he met him and told him that they are both descended from the previous King of Poland, Casimir III.

Sigismund of Luxembourg fetched his mother, Elisabeth of Pomerania from Poland.

After the death of King Rupert of Germany in 1410, Sigismund – ignoring the claims of his half-brother Wenceslaus – was elected as successor by three of the electors on 10 September 1410, but he was opposed by his cousin Jobst of Moravia, who had been elected by four electors in a different election on 1 October. Jobst's death 18 January 1411 removed this conflict and Sigismund was again elected King on 21 July 1411. His coronation was deferred until 8 November 1414, when it took place at Aachen.
