Duchy Of Głogów
The Duchy of Głogów (, ) or Duchy of Glogau () was one of the Duchies of Silesia, formed in course of the medieval fragmentation of Poland into smaller provincial duchies.

However, when Konrad died between 1180 and 1190, his duchy was again inherited by his elder brother Bolesław I the Tall, and re-incorporated to the Duchy of Silesia/Wrocław.

In order to avoid further fragmentation of the paternal lands, the elder duke, with the approval of their mother, sent Konrad to study in Paris, where he was to be educated with the intention of becom ...

Kingdom Of Poland (1025–1385)
The Kingdom of Poland (; Latin: ''Regnum Poloniae'') was a monarchy in Central Europe during the medieval period from 1025 until 1385. Background The West Slavic tribe of Polans who lived in what is today the historic region of Greater Poland, gave rise to a state in the early 10th century, which would become the nascent predecessor of the Kingdom of Poland. Following the Christianization of Poland in 966, and the emergence of the Duchy of Poland during the rule of Mieszko I, his eldest son Bolesław I the Brave inherited his father's dukedom and subsequently was crowned as king. History Establishment In 1025, Bolesław I the Brave of the Piast dynasty was crowned as the first King of Poland at the cathedral in Gniezno and elevated the status of Poland from a duchy to a kingdom after receiving permission for his coronation from Pope John XIX.

Around 1125 Władysław married Agnes of Babenberg, daughter of Margrave Leopold III, Margrave of Austria, Leopold III of Austria; this union gave him a close connection with the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Germany: Agnes by her mother was a granddaughter of Emperor Henry IV and a half-sister o ...

Konrad Spindleshanks
Konrad Laskonogi (literally ''Spindleshanks''; born 1146/57 – died by 17 January 1190), was a Duke of Głogów since 1177 until his death. He was the third son of Władysław II the Exile by his wife Agnes of Babenberg, daughter of Margrave Leopold III of Austria. He was named after Conrad III of Germany, half-brother of his mother. Life Little is known about Konrad's first years of life. German historian Hermann Grotefend argued that if Conrad was named after his uncle, it means that he was born in Germany, where his parents were expelled in 1146. '' Epytaphia ducum Slezie'' (''Nagrobki książąt śląskich'') called him ''domicellus''. This term means ''adolescent'', but also an unmarried adult man. Polish genealogist Kazimierz Jasiński supposed that is very doubtful that a man around 40 years old could be called ''adolescent''. Jasiński agreed with Grotefend that Conrad was born in Germany. He also stated that age difference between children of the same mother could not ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
