After two centuries of fragmentation, the period of feudal dissolution ended when Władysław the Elbow-high united the various principalities of the Kingdom of Poland. His son Kazimierz the Great, the last of the Piast dynasty, greatly strengthened the Polish state in both foreign and domestic affairs.
