If it is the same Casimir IV of Poland-Lithuania I am thinking about he was rather lousy commander, ar rather didn't fight at all and left that work to other people.

Sure his reign marked the end of feudal army in Poland (was professional after that), but the only reason seem his defeat at Chojnice and inability to convince anyone to fight without paying them.

Actually for Poland I wouldn't dare to find a single really good commander from that time - simply too few battles were fought and those were usually works of different people - noone responsible for more than one victory.

I just randomly threw him in there as an example. Of course, let us not forget that a subsequent century brought about (the last) great Polish commander...my namesake.
