Władysław of Głogów
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Władysław (Czech: Vladislav, German: Wladislaus) (around 1420 - 14 February 1460) was the Duke of Cieszyn and Głogów. He was the son of Bolesław I, fourth Duke of Cieszyn and Eufemia.
After the death of his father in 1431, Władysław ruled over the duchy together with his brothers and mother. After the division of duchy in 1442 he ruled over the half of Głogów, which belonged to the Dukes of Cieszyn. Władysław supported Bohemian king George of Podebrady and fought in his ranks near Wrocław. He was seriously wounded during the siege of this town on 1 October 1459 and died on 14 February 1460.
Although he was formally the Duke of Cieszyn, he did not spend much time there and concentrated on politics of Głogów. After his death his possessions were taken over by his wife Małgorzata.
