BIOGRAPHY In 984 Boleslaw married Henilda, daughter of Ricdag, Markgraf von Meissen. Boleslav divorced her in 985/986, and soon married Judith, daughter of Geisa, prince of Hungary. In 987 he married Emnilde, daughter of Dobromir, duke of Lusatia. Finally in 1018 he married Oda von Meissen, the sister of Hermann. His surviving children were Bexprym (from his second marriage); Mieszko II, Otto and Regelinda, the wife of Hermann, Markgraf von Meissen (from his third marriage); and Matylda from the fourth. After his father's death around 992, Boleslaw was able to expel his father's second wife Oda von Haldensleben and her sons, and unite the country. In 997 Boleslaw sent Archbishop Adalbert of Prague to Prussia on the Baltic Sea, on a mission to convert the heathen Prussians to Christianity - an attempt that would end in Adalbert's martyrdom and subsequent canonisation. From his father Boleslaw had inherited a principality centred on Greater Poland, along the river Warta (the 'valley of the Warta'), and much smaller than today's Poland. By 997 he possessed Silesia and Pomerania (with its chief city Gdansk) and Lesser Poland (with its chief city Cracow). In 999 Boleslaw annexed present-day Moravia, and in 1000 or 1001, part of the present-day Slovakia. In 1000 Emperor Otto III, while on pilgrimage to the tomb of Saint Adalbert at Gniezno, invested Boleslaw with the title _Frater et Cooperator Imperii_ ('Brother and Partner in the Empire'). Some historians state that the emperor also pledged a royal crown to Boleslaw. During the same visit, Otto III accepted Gniezno's status as an archbishopric. After the untimely death of Otto III in 1002 aged just 22, Boleslaw conquered Meissen and Lusatia, wresting imperial territory for himself during the disputes over succession to the imperial throne. He and his father had earlier backed Heinrich II, duke of Bavaria against Otto, and Boleslaw now accepted the accession of his son as Emperor Heinrich II. Boleslaw conquered Bohemia and Moravia in 1003-1004, declaring himself duke, and ruling as Boleslaw IV. At the request of his son-in-law Swjatopolk I Okajanny, grand duke of Kiev, Boleslaw intervened in Kievan affairs; not only did he expel Yaroslav 'the Wise' from Kiev, but he seems to have deployed his troops in the Rus' capital for about half a year. It was during this campaign that Boleslaw annexed the Red strongholds, later called Red Ruthenia. The intermittent wars with the Holy Roman Empire ended with the Peace of Bautzen in 1018, which left Meissen and Lusatia in Polish hands. Emperor Heinrich II obliged Boleslaw to pledge his fealty again in exchange for the lands that he held in fief. After Heinrich's death in 1024, Boleslaw crowned himself king (in 1025), thereby raising Poland to the rank of a kingdom and being the first Polish king, his predecessors having been 'princes'. His successors as rulers of Poland long desired to be king continuously, like their neighbours in Hungary, but like their neighbours in Bohemia they were only occasionally granted such recognition by their nominal liege lord the emperor, or any such international recognition. Boleslaw sent an army to aid his friend - and nephew - Knud 'den Store' (Canute), king of Denmark and Norway, in his conquest of England. Boleslaw died on 17 June 1025. His son Mieszko II crowned himself king immediately upon his father's death. |
