	The University of Cracow
		At the time of the Council of Basil, the university and its chancellor were partisans of the council, and Olesnicki even accepted the cardinalate from Felix V. After the Union of Florence, Olesnicki went over to the side of Nicholas V, but the university did not submit to the control of the Church until 1449.
		The age of Olesnicki was one of great scholars, among whom were: the physician and astronomer, Martin Krol; the decretalist, Johann Elgot; the theologians Benedict Hesse and Jacobus of Paradyz.
		Olesnicki showed favour to men who were not Poles, suppressed the Hussite tendencies with a firm hand, and was very generous to the university.

	The Battle of Tannenberg or Grunwald in 1410
		After returning to the king, Zbigniew of Olesnica reported that all the knights were engaged in battle and added that the knights, fighting or waiting for the battle, would not be persuaded to do anything, nor would they follow any order.
		Zbigniew reported to the king that he could not convince any units involved in the battle, since they would not listen to arguments or orders on account of the noise and confusion.
		He ran from the ranks of a bigger Prussian regiment, one among the sixteen regiments, to the place where the king stood, and waving his spear in full view of the Prussian army standing under sixteen standards, he intended, it seemed, to attack the king.

		The Church of Poland took part, it is true, in the Synod of Constance, at which Hus was burnt, but had not the strength to oppose effectively the reactionary tendency of the nobility, which sought to use heresy as a counterpoise to the influence of the Church.
		That influence, attaining its maximum when the Cardinal Bishop of Cracow, Zbigniew Olesnicki, wielded political power at Court, roused the emulation of the secular lords.
		With the death of Cardinal Olesnicki the political power of the Church in Poland was at an end.

		In Poland, during her king’s absence beyond the Carpathians, Bishop Zbigniew Olesnicki, soon to be the first Polish cardinal, occupied a leading position and wanted Casimir to accept the conditions of election which were unfavorable to the Lithuanians.
		The oppressive rule of the Knights of the Cross had, indeed, first led to a conspiracy and finally to an open revolt of both the German and the Polish populations of their disintegrating state.
		In spite of Olesnicki’s hesitation, Casimir decided to accept a proposal which would not only restore to Poland her old Pomeranian province with the flowering port of Danzig, but also unite Prussia proper with the Polish crown, thus completely eliminating the dangerous Order.

	Renaissance Developments
		There was, indeed, among the Poles a certain sympathy with the Hussite movement, but it was opposed by the majority which in 1424 concluded a confederation in defense of Catholicism and found a prominent leader in the Bishop of Cracow, Zbigniew Olesnicki, whose influence was growing in the later part of Jagiello’s reign.
		His son, Wladyslaw III, the new King of Poland, was a minor, and the predominating influence of Bishop Zbigniew Olesnicki was challenged by a strong opposition party, while in the Lithuanian grand duchy Svitrigaila was still supported in most of the Ruthenian provinces.
		Under such conditions it proved impossible to promote the candidature of the new king s younger brother Casimir to the throne of Bohemia—a project which Olesnicki never favored, fearing Hussite influence —and on the contrary, Albrecht of Habsburg was able to resume his father-in-law’s idea of playing off Lithuania against Poland.

		At the age of 10 he succeeded to the throne of Poland on the death of his father, Wladyslaw II.
		During his 10 years as king, however, most of the major decisions were either made or manipulated by Olesnicki, who was a powerful Polish noble, bishop of Kraków, the first Polish cardinal, and also a close adviser to his father.
		Working successfully to bring the crown of Hungary to the young king, Olesnicki set up Wladyslaw's election through the anti-Habsburg faction within the Hungarian nobility, and in July 1440 Wladyslaw was crowned Ulászló I of Hungary at Buda.

		Having inherited the crown at the age of 10, most decisions were made by the Regent, the powerful Bishop of Krakow, Zbigniew Olesnicki who worked hard to suppress the Hussites in Poland; it was largely because of him that the union with Bohemia, eagerly sought by the Hussites, did not come to pass.
		In 1440, through the manoeuvrings of Olesnicki, the Magyars offered Wladyslaw the crown of Hungary as Ladislas I (1440 - 44); Poland’s attention shifted to the plains of Hungary and the growing Turkish threat.
