Casimir II of Zator

Casimir II of Zator (; – 8 January/7 July 1490), was a Duke of Zator during 1468–1474 (with his three brothers as co-rulers), and ruler over the eastern half of Zator from 1474 until his death (during 1474–1487 with his brother Wenceslaus as co-ruler). He was the eldest son of Duke Wenceslaus I of Zator by his wife Maria, daughter of Urban Kopczowski, a noblemen from the Duchy of Siewierz. Life After his father's death in 1468, Casimir II and his younger brothers Wenceslaus II, Jan V and Władysław inherited Zator as co-rulers. However, because his younger brothers are minors at that time, only Casimir II and Wenceslaus II ruled the Duchy, although the main tasks of the government were held by Casimir II. In 1474, under the pressures of his brothers, Casimir II agreed to make the division of the Duchy in two parts: The natural frontier between the lands was the Sakwa River but with the common rule over the capital and use of the Zator castle. Casimir II and his brother Wenceslaus II took the eastern part of Zator. Three years later, in 1477, the brothers signed a treaty of mutual inheritance between them.
