Шаблон:Infobox noble Casimir IV (Шаблон:Lang-pl,Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Lang-ger; 1351 – 2 January 1377) was a duke of Pomerania in Pomerania-Stolp since 1374.

Life

Casimir was the son of Bogislaw V, Duke of Pomerania and Elizabeth of Poland.Шаблон:Sfn His maternal grandfather Casimir III the Great, the last king of Poland from the Piast dynasty, had no sons and brought him up at his court. After his grandfather's death in 1370, young Casimir initially became his partial successor, as the last will gave him lands of Dobrzyń, Bydgoszcz, Kruszwica, Złotów and Wałcz as fiefs. Yet, his ambitions were soon thwarted by Louis I of Hungary, who became the next king of Poland on the grounds of earlier pacts, and nullified the Piast's last will. Duke Casimir only held the land of Dobrzyń as a temporary fief.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1360, Casimir married his first wife Kenna of Lithuania.Шаблон:Sfn She was the daughter of Algirdas and Uliana Alexandrovna of Tver,Шаблон:Sfn raised in the Eastern Orthodox faith. With her marriage, she joined the Roman Catholic Church and was baptised again under the name "Johanna". She died on 27 April 1368, leaving no children.Шаблон:Sfn

After a year, Casimir IV married his second wife Margaret of Masovia. She was the daughter of Siemowit III of Masovia and his first wife Euphemia of Opava. They had no children. After Casimir’s death of wounds (received in fighting Władysław the White on behalf of King Louis), she married Henry VII, Duke of Lubin and Brzeg.

Although after the death of his father Bogislaw V in 1374 Casimir IV stayed several times in Pomerania-Stolp, most of the time he spent in Bydgoszcz; with his death in 1377 his fiefs fell back to Poland.Шаблон:Sfn
