Treaty of Namslau

Treaty of Namslau

The Treaty of Namslau ( _de. Vertrag von Namslau) or Namysłów, also known as the Peace of Namslau, was a peace treaty between King Charles IV of Bohemia and King Casimir III of Poland. It was signed at Namslau (Namysłów), Silesia, on 22 November 1348.

With the restoration of a Polish king in 1295, the kingdoms of Bohemia and Poland disputed sovereignty over the duchies of Silesia. With the exception of Bolko II of Świdnica, an increasing number of Silesian dukes recognized the sovereignty of Charles' predecessor, King John of Bohemia, from 1327–35.

The peace treaty of Namslau affirmed previous meetings in Trentschin (1335), Cracow (1339), and Prague (1341). In the Namslau treaty, Casimir renounced all Polish claims on Silesia, in return for Charles renouncing all Bohemian claims on the Polish throne. After the 1368 death of Bolko, all of Silesia passed to the Bohemian crown.
