Constance of Wrocław (c.1221–27 – 23 February 1257) was a Princess of Silesia and the Duchess of Kuyavia. She was a member of the Polish House of Piast and mother of Leszek II the Black and Ziemomysł of Kuyavia. ==Early life== Constance of Wrocław was born in 1227, the second child of Henry II the Pious and his wife Anna of Bohemia, the daughter of Ottokar I of Bohemia and Constance of Hungary. She was named after her maternal grandmother, Constance of Hungary.〔K. Jasinski Pedigree of the Silesian Piast, Thu. I, ed. II, Krakow 2007, p. 120〕 Constance and her siblings were brought up away from their parents at the monastery of Trzebnica, where they were cared for by their paternal grandmother Hedwig of Andechs. Hedwig (who was later canonized) greatly influenced the young Constance – she became pious. Later, Hedwig also influenced Constance' son, Leszek. She was expected to marry soon after coming of age at 12 years, and could do so according to canon law.〔K. Jasinski Pedigree Little Poland and Kuyavian Piast, Poznan - Wroclaw 2001, p. 62 Earlier in K. Jasinski's Pedigree of the Silesian Piast dynasty. Volume I. The Piast and Legnica-Wrocław brzescy, Wroclaw Scientific Society, Wroclaw 1973, pointed out that as younger than Constance, Gertrude was born probably after 1220 Cf. K. Jasinski Pedigree of the Silesian Piast, Thu. I, ed. II, Krakow 2007, p. 120 In Table I / 2 at the end of the book: zap. 1221-1227.〕 She married in 1239. At the time only her sister Gertrude was married, to Bolesław I of Masovia. Only one other sister, Elisabeth of Wrocław was to marry, her other sisters becoming Abbesses.〔In general, married daughters were given in order of seniority, the youngest offspring was sent for the priesthood. Gertrude, in 1233, married Bolesław I of Masovia, Elizabeth, in 1244, married Przemysł I of Greater Poland, while Agnieszka cysterką Trzebnicka was a Jadwiga who joined the Poor Clares monastery in Wroclaw. Cf. K. Jasinski Pedigree of the Silesian Piast, Thu. I, ed. II, Krakow 2007, p. 120〕 Constance was more carefully educated than her future husband, Casimir I of Kuyavia, who was tutored by John Heron, who was later educated by Casimir's parents. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Constance of Wrocław」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
