Casimir of Koźle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Casimir of Koźle (Polish: Kazimierz kozielski; ca. 1312 – by 2 March 1347) was a Duke of Koźle since 1336 until his death.

He was the eldest son of Duke Władysław of Bytom but the only by his first wife Beatrix, daughter of Otto V the Long, Margrave of Brandenburg–Salzwedel.

Life

There little notices about Casimir's life. In 1336, after the death of Duke Leszek of Racibórz, the town of Koźle returned to Bytom according to the terms of the pledge made four years before; however, Duke Władysław was forced to immediately give the district to his firstborn son, Casimir.

About the rule of Casimir over Koźle, is known almost nothing. The only certain was, because of his prodigality and huge debts, he stopped paying Peter's Pence, and in consequence he was excommunicated by the Church.

Casimir never married or had children. He was certainly dead before 2 March 1347 and it is unknown where he was buried.
