[edit] judith of bohemia

I am confused about this reference because, while I do have Judith of Bohemia as his mother, I don't have Henry III as her father. I think Henry III is the father of Judith of Swabia, Ladislaus Herman's second wife (and Boleslaus III's stepmother).

[edit] Why Wrymouth?

Where does the nickname Wrymouth come from?

In the original Polish, "Krzywousty." He apparently had a "wry" ("krzywo-", "crooked") "mouth" ("-usty"). logologist|Talk 08:37, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
