BIOGRAPHY
Richeza was born between 995 and 1000, the daughter of Ezzo/Ehrenfried, Pfalzgraf von Lothringen, and Mathilde von Sachsen, the daughter of Emperor Otto II and sister of Emperor Otto III. About 1013 Richeza married Mieszko II Lambert, king of Poland. They had a son Kazimierz I Karol who would succeed his father as king of Poland, and two daughters: Richeza/Ryksa married Béla I, king of Hungary; and Gertruda married Isjaslaw I, grand duke of Kiev. All three would have progeny.

Mieszko II died in suspicious circumstances in 1034, after his forced abdication and a brief restoration. After the death of her husband, Richeza probably tried to seize power in the country and secure the crown for her son. However, she failed and Kazimierz had to flee to the kingdom of Hungary while the central parts of Poland were controlled by his uncle Bezprym.

After 7 September 1047 Richeza became a nun. She died on 21 March 1063 in Saalfeld. Her tomb is in the chapel of St. Johannes in the Cologne cathedral, alongside that of the cathedral's founder Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden.

In Poland and Germany Richeza is venerated as a saint; her feast day is 21 March.
