| | Casimir IV of Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The son of king Wladislaus II Jagiełło and younger brother to Wladislaus III, Casimir succeeded the latter after a three-year interregnum. |
 | | That same year, Casimir was approached by the Prussians for aid against the ruling Teutonic Order, which he promised, by the act of incorporation of Prussia to Polish Kingdom; however, when the cities of Prussia rebelled against Teutons, the order resisted with greater strength than expected, and the Thirteen Years' War (1454-1466) ensued. |
 | | Casimir, in alliance with the Prussian Confederation, defeated the Teutonic Order taking over its capital in Malbork, which in the ensuing Peace of Toruń 1466 recognised Polish sovereignty over Royal Prussia and the Polish crown's overlordship over Ducal Prussia. |
