Władysław I Łokietek, in English known as the "Elbow-high" or Ladislaus the Short , was King of Poland from 1320 to 1333, and duke of several of the provinces and principalities in the preceding years. He was a member of the royal Piast dynasty, the son of Duke Casimir I of Kuyavia, and great-grandson of High-Duke Casimir II the Just.
Multimedia. One of the most brutal and wild periods in Poland’s history was tamed by an equally ruthless figure. Read the story of how, after over a century of chaos, Władysław Łokietek, the so-called Elbow-High, took on his fellow Polish dukes and all of Bohemia to finally unite Poland.
In 1320, the Duke of Kujawy, Łęczyca, and Sieradz, Władysław I, called Łokietek [the Elbow-high or the Short] (b. 1260/61, d. 1333), was crowned King of Poland, an event which closed the age of the provincial division of the country that had lasted continuously since 1138.
Perhaps his greatest achievement was gaining papal permission to be crowned king of Poland in 1320, which occurred for the first time at Wawel Cathedral in Krakow. Władysław died in 1333 and was succeeded by his son, Casimir III the Great.
