1610 was quite difficult for the Moscow court. Shuiski was deposed by the Council of Seven. 15-year-old descendant of Sigismund in absentia got the power. However, the father put forward the conditions for the election of Ladislas. First and foremost, Sigismund wanted the people had converted to Catholicism from Orthodoxy. The boyars, in turn, asked to send Wladyslaw to Moscow for him converting to Christianity. To this Sigismund replied resolutely refused. He offered himself a Regent-the ruler of the country. This proposal was unacceptable to the barons. All this led to the hostile actions of the parties. In particular, the władysław IV organised a military campaign. In 1616, he tries to regain power. He even managed to win several battles. However, to capture Moscow, he could not. Despite the invitation of the Prince Vladislav to the Russian throne, he never occupied. However, the title remained in him until 1634

Pretty quickly he was deposed Shuisky, almost immediately signed an agreement with Sigismund. Just had to bring a treat to baptize him and marry.

It is Worth saying that the 15-year-old Vladislav could not be a competent king. At the time he was still not able to make imperious decisions and all actions carried out for his father. Moreover, Sigismund put conditions against the proposals of the Boyar Duma. This Polish ambassadors were already at court and exerted influence not those or other decisions. Of course, the Moscow people didn't like it. Probably the impetus for the uprising was the ignoring of tradition by Vladislav. Talked about the fact that not only that he is young, and govern still, and on the baptism and the wedding has not arrived. Therefore, the proclamation by the Tsar of Russia had no legal basis.
Before you can start to rule in the Commonwealth, he participated in several battles. Among them were Hiking on Moscow. In addition, he participated in the war with the Ottoman Empire in 1621-m, Sweden - in 1626-1629. During this time, and during his travels in Europe (1624-1625.) he became acquainted with the specifics of the art of war. Prince Vladislav always belonged to the military Affairs as the most important. He was no different special abilities of warfare, however, proved himself as quite a skilled warlord.
At First Prince Vladislav refused to close cooperation with the Habsburgs. In 1633, he promised equal rights to Orthodox subjects, and the Protestants, forcing the Catholic Radziwill to approve the law. The last remained nothing how to go forward under threat of transfer of key posts in Commonwealth to Protestants. In the same year Vladislav appointed Krystofa Radziwill for the high office of Governor of Vilna. In 1635-m becomes the great Lithuanian Hetman. Nobles-Protestants blocked the attempt of Vladislav to start a war with Sweden. In 1635 it was Standardthe signed a truce. In this regard, Vladislav resumed its Alliance with the Habsburgs concluded his father.
The Polish Prince Vladislav was married twice. He asked Pope urban to make a promise to give him permission to marry a Protestant Princess. But was refused. At the beginning of 1634, in which he sends Alexander Prikamskogo to Charles I on a secret mission. The messenger was supposed to discuss marriage plans and help in the reconstruction of Polish fleet. At the meeting on 19 March 1635 was discussed marriage. But there were then only 4 of the Bishop, one of whom supported the plans. The first marriage took place in the spring of 1636 Vladislav married Cecilia Renata of Austria. They have a son, Sigismund Casimir Maria Anna Isabella. The first died at the age of seven from dysentery, and the daughter died in infancy. In 1644-died Cecilia. In 1646, the władysław married the French Princess Marie Louise de Gonzaga de Nevers. Children they had.
In early November, 1632, władysław became king of Poland after the death of Sigismund. At this time, Mikhail Romanov decides to go to the Commonwealth for the war. He hoped to use a temporary confusion after the death of Sigismund. About 34.5 thousand people crossed the Eastern border of the Speech Pospolitoy. In October of 1632 the army besieged Smolensk. Russia lost its Deulino truce in 1618, However, during the fighting, Vladislav managed not only to lift the siege, but also to surround the army and to force him to surrender on March 1, 1634 After it was signed a new truce favorable to the Commonwealth. Its conditions are in addition assumed the payment of Vladislav 20 thousand rubles in exchange for refusal of claims to the Moscow government and the return of marks transferred to it by the Council of Seven.
During the war 1632-1634 gg in the Commonwealth was an active modernization of the army. Vladislav paid special attention to the improvement of artillery and infantry. After a short period of time the Commonwealth began to threaten the Turks. Vladislav led an army to the South of the Russian border. He forced the Turks to sign an armistice on favorable terms. The participants of the war again agreed to keep the Tatars and the Cossacks from going abroad each other and shared a condominium over Moldavia and Wallachia.
After the completion of the southern campaign was necessary to protect the North side of the Commonwealth. In 1635, Sweden, which was involved in the Thirteen years ' war, agreed to the terms of the armistice Sturmische. The contract was again best of the Commonwealth. Some conquered territory Sweden had to give back.
According to many historians, Vladislav was very ambitious. He dreamed of a great glory, which was planning new conquests. In the latter years of his reign he hoped to use detachments of Cossacks to help to provoke a war between Turkey and Poland. At different times he sought to regain power over Sweden. Vladislav wanted several times to return to the Russian crown. He even had plans for the conquest of the Ottoman Empire. During the reign of he quite often managed to win over a restless Cossacks to his side. However, all his attempts failed due to insufficient support of foreign allies and gentry. Often, instead of large battles was unnecessary border war, spraying powerstate. Ultimately, this led to fatal consequences for the Commonwealth.
Some historians believe that Vladislav was very short-tempered. Angry, he could start to retaliate, not thinking about the consequences. So, when the Protestant nobility blocked his plans to go to war against Sweden, he began to progalsky policy. In particular, he provided the allies with military aid, took to wife Cecilia Renata. Vladislav had a lot of plans and dynastic, and military, both personal and territorial. So, he suggested the capture of Livonia, Silesia, the Prussian annexation of the Duchy of, creation of crown Principality. Some of his plans could be realized. However, due to failures or due to certain objective circumstances, almost nothing happened from what was planned.
He began in 1638 władysław wanted the unpaid dowry of his stepmother, and mother was provided Silesian Duchy, preferably Opolskie Raciborskii. He suggested that in 1642, the Habsburgs his right to power in Sweden. Instead Vladislav requested Silesia in Deposit. Sent to Vienna, the Ambassador offered to exchange incomes from Bohemian estates Trevena on Tishinskoe or Opole-Raciborskie Principality. The trial was delayed, and Vladislav announced the Habsburg envoy that combined with Sweden. These words acted as a clear threat, as in this case, Vladislav could seize Silesia and militarily, without the consent of the Emperor.
In April, 1645 in Warsaw was sent a new Ambassador to negotiate. They failed to Vladislav, but it is good for the Habsburgs. In the result, it was decided to convey the Principality is not hereditary, and in 50 years of use. Destiny was supposed to transfer later Casimir, son of Vladislav. The latter could manage the land to adulthood successor. Additionally władysław promised to give the Habsburgs a loan of 1.1 million gold.
Władysław used the title of the Swedish king. However, the country under his authority was never. Moreover, he, as in the case of Russia, did not even set foot on its territory. Despite this, he still sought to seize power in Sweden. However, all his efforts as attempts of his father, were unsuccessful. Vladislav domestic policy was aimed at strengthening Royal power. However, this is constantly impeded gentry, who valued their freedom and could not lose the right to participate in government. Vladislav had to overcome some difficulties. The obstacles created by the Parliament, seeks to control his power and to pacify the dynastic ambitions. Improving the army was seen as a desire to strengthen the Royal position in time of war. Because of this, the diet opposed most of the plans Vladislav. He was denied funding, signing of declarations about the beginning of battles. Similar was the case in foreign policy. Vladislav tried to calm the conflicting Germans and Scandinavians during the Thirteen years ' war. However, his actions in what have not resulted, and the support of the Habsburgs almost no results. To protect the position in the Baltic Vladislav began the strengthening of the fleet. However, the plan also does not end.
Vladislav died in 1648, His internal organs and heart buried in the chapel of SV. Casimir in the Cathedral of SV. Stanislaus in Vilnius. Death of Vladislav came a year later after the death of his son Sigismund Casimir. He was not able to implement all his plans, he failed to rebuild the Commonwealth. However, he managed to avoid involvement in the Thirteen years ' war.
With the death of Vladislav ended the Golden age of the Polish state. After his death started the uprising of the Cossacks. They showed dissatisfaction with the fact that all the promises were never fulfilled. The revolt of the Cossacks was fairly active and was directed to force the Polish government. The situation was used by Sweden, which began the invasion of the state.
