Kazimierz III Wielki

Japanese: カジミエシュ[3世]（英語表記）Kazimierz III Wielki

1310‐70
The last Polish king of the Piast dynasty. Reigned from 1333 to 1370. Known as "The Great." This nickname, meaning "tall" to distinguish him from his father, who was called the "short king," later came to mean "great," which shows how important this king's reign was to the history of Poland. Poland experienced rapid economic development due to the eastern colonization of Germany that began in the 13th century, and this marked the beginning of the unification of the country into a kingdom. Kazimierz, who succeeded to the throne upon his father's death in 1333, made the kingdom that his father had managed to unify into a unified state by establishing a legal code (the Kazimierz Code) and issuing currency.

1310‐70
ピアスト王朝最後のポーランド国王。在位1333‐70年。〈大王〉と呼ばれる。これは，〈短身王〉と呼ばれた父と区別するために付けられた〈長身〉を意味する異名が，後に〈偉大〉の意味に解されるようになったもので，それほど，この国王の治世は後のポーランド史にとって重要な意味をもつ。13世紀に始まるドイツ人の東方植民によって急激な経済発展をとげたポーランドは，それを契機に王国として統一に向かうことになった。1333年に父の死によって王位を引き継いだカジミエシュは，父がなんとか統一した王国を法典の整備(カジミエシュ法典)や貨幣の発行によって統一国家の名にふさわしいものとした。
