After his death in 1267 the duchy was further divided onto two separate lands ruled by his successors, with capitals in Inowrocław and Brześć Kujawski.
However, their control over these lands was found unlawful by the papal court and until 1364 the area was gradually reconquered by Poland.
As part of Poland, the area retained its traditional division onto two separate parts, that was sanctioned by the administrative division onto Inowrocław Voivodship and Brześć Kujawski Voivodship, that shared the same Sejmik in Radziejów.

In 1452 the Royal Castle in Koło was the place of meeting between the king Casimir the Jagiellonian and the representatives of the Prussian Union (see: the Thirteen-Years War).
The town evolved as a regional centre of trade and crafts, especially in metals and textiles, and in 16th century a suburb of Zduny consisting mainly of potters developed on the right bank of Warta river, receiving a separate municipal autonomy in 1559.
Till 1793 Koło belonged to the Konin County of the Kalisz Voivodship, and in years 1793-1806 it was occupied by Prussia, but during the Kosciuszko insurrection in 1794 it was temporarily liberated by the insurgents.
