Władysław could not go against the decision of the Sejm and Senate, and agreed to support the treaty.

Next, Władysław attempted to create an order of chivalry, similar to the Order of the Golden Fleece, but this plan was scuttled down as well, with the szlachta and the magnetes seeing this as an attempt to create a royal, loyalist elite, and traditionally opposing anything that could lead to the reduction of their extensive power.

The war, Władysław hoped, would also solve the problem of unrest among Cossacks, a militant group living in Ukraine, near the Ottoman border, who could find worth in such a campaign, and turn their attention to fighting for the Commonwealth, instead of against it.

The principality inherited from his father was composed of northern Greater Poland, which included Ujście and Nakło ( although some historians believed that Władysław Odonic remained in the lands at the north of Warta river until his death but lost Ujście and Nakło, and this lands were inherited by his sons ); subsequently he strove to recover the remaining part of Greater Poland.

Certainly the first years of Bolesław weren't easy, because he had to share the fierce dispute of his father against Władysław III Spindleshanks ( his own uncle ) for his inheritance.

Between 1177 – 1179 Władysław, his parents and siblings were forced to leave the country as a result of the rebellion of Casimir II the Just and Odon, Mieszko III's eldest son from his first marriage, who resented the clear favoritism showed by his father to the offspring of his second marriage.
