Leszek, Duke Of Masovia
Leszek of Masovia ( pl, Leszek, also ''Lestek'') (b. ca. 1162 - d. 1186) was a Polish prince from the Piast dynasty, the Duke of Masovia from 1173 until his death. He was the only son of Bolesław IV the Curly, Duke of Masovia and High Prince of Poland, to survive his father. After his father's death he inherited Masovia. At the beginning, Leszek ruled under the guardianship of his uncle Casimir II the Just. He was a man of poor health. For a short time he supported his other uncle, Mieszko III the Old, but later decided to reconcile with Casimir II, who after Leszek's death inherited his duchy. Early life Older Polish historians, like Oswald Balzer, named him ''Leszko'', which is now considered as incorrect. The correct form is ending with "ek". In a document written in Latin, Leszek was mentioned as ''Lizstek'' (1177). Most Polish historians use the version "Leszek", but some modern Polish historians started to use the version ''Lestek''. Historian Józef Mitkowski stated t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

These efforts were successful and in 1227 the couple were greeted by Herman Balka, who brought the first knights. In 1239 there was a crime that involved Agafia's family.

Leszek I The White

During the early stages of his reign, his uncle Duke Mieszko III the Old and cousin Władysław III Spindleshanks, from the Greater Polish branch of the royal Piast dynasty, contested Leszek's right to be High Duke.Malcolm Barber, ''The Two Cities''p. 368/ref> Leszek was the third or fourth, but eldest surviving son of Casimir II the Just and his wife Helen of Znojmo.

Jasiński, writing in 2001, puts his birth year as 1184 or 1185, while an older historiography claimed 1186 or 1187. The regency was exercised by his mother Helen, who counted on the help of Mikołaj Gryfita, ''wojewoda'' of Kraków, and Fulko, Bishop of Kraków. However, Leszek's uncle Mieszko III the Old – who had been ruler ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
