 Casimir IV
Casimir IV, King of Poland, second son of Wladislaus II Jagiello, was appointed while still a lad grand-duke of Lithuania by his father, and crowned King of Poland at Cracow in June 1447, three years after the death of his elder brother, Wladislaus III, at the battle of Varna.
The cause of this long interregnum was the disinclination of the Lithuanians to part with their prince until their outstanding differences with Poland, relating chiefly to the delimitation of the frontiers of the two states, had been settled.
He was without doubt one of the greatest statesmen of his age, concealing beneath a simple exterior and homely habits a profound political sagacity and an unerring common sense, and possessing in a high degree those useful qualities of patience, moderation, and tenacity, which characterized nearly all the princes of the House of Jagiello.
