He was the second son of King Władysław II Jagiełło, and the younger brother of Władysław III of Varna. As 13 years old boy, Kazimierz was invited by Lithuanian nobles under leadership of John Gasztold to come to Lithuania and on June 29, 1440 he was installed as Grand Duke of Lithuania without Polish consent.
