High Duchess consort of Poland Reign 1177–1194

Helena of Znojmo (Polish: Helena znojemska b. 1145 – d. 1202 or 1206[1]) was a Bohemian princess member of the Premyslid dynasty. She was Duchess of Moravia (1165–1194), hence the name Znojmo after town, and by marriage Duchess of Masovia (1186–1194) and Duchess-regent of Krakow, Sandomierz and Masovia on behalf of her minor son during 1194–1199/1200.

She was the daughter of Duke Conrad II of Znojmo and his wife Maria of Serbia, daughter of Uroš I of Rascia. Helena was probably named after her maternal aunt, Queen Helena of Hungary, wife of King Béla II.[2] [edit] Life

Helen married the Casimir II the Just, youngest son of Bolesław III Wrymouth, probably shortly after his return from captivity[3].

When on 11 May 1194 Helen's husband died, presumably as a result of heart attack,[4] he left her with their two minor sons on whose behalf she took regency of Małopolska and Masovia with blessings from Bishop of Kraków Fulko and Krakow Voivode.

Helen's regency was not an easy one, because other princes threatened the minors., their own uncle Mieszko III the Old was after Kraków. Bloody stocks, which were the culminating moment of the Battle of Mozgawa between Helen and Mieszko, it lasted until 1198 when they reached an agreement with Duke of Wielkopolska. Mieszko would take Krakow, in return for which he gave Helen and her sons Kuyavia. Independent authority over the inheritance was taken on by Leszek the White who took over in 1199 or 1200. The great political and intelligent Helen testied words written in the chronicle of Kadlubek Vincent, who certainly knew the princess in person. According to historians Helen was "a wise woman than a woman's wisdom"(misinterpret translation?).

Helen of Znojmo died between 1202 and 1206 [5], probably on April 2[6].

Children

Helen and Casimir had the following children:

• 1. Maria (1164–1194), married in November 1178 to Prince Vsevolod IV of Kiev.
• 2. Casimir (ca. 1165? – 1 March 1167).
• 3. Bolesław (ca. 1168/71 – 16 April 1182). He died accidentally, after falling from a tree.
• 4. Odon, died in infancy. Only named in the Polish Wikipedia Biography of Casimir II the Just
• 5. Adelaide (ca. 1177/84 – 8 December 1211), foundress of the convent of St. Jakob in Sandomierz. Only named in the Polish Wikipedia Biography of Casimir II the Just
• 6. Leszek the White (ca. 1186/87 – Marcinkow, 23 November 1227).
• 7. Konrad (ca. 1187/88 – 31 August 1247).[7]

Helena Znojemská (1141? – 19. červen mezi lety 1202/1206[1]) byla manželka knížete celého Polska Kazimíra II. Spravedlivého, krakovská a sandoměřská kněžna zřejmě v letech 1161 - 1194, mazovská kněžna v letech 1186-1194, regentka v Krakově, Sandoměři a Mazovsku za své nezletilé syny Leška Bílého a Konráda Mazovského v letech 1194-1199/1200.

Doba vlády 1177–1194 Manžel Kazimír II. Spravedlivý Tituly manželka knížete celého Polska, kněžna krakovská, sandoměřská a mazovská Narození 1141? Úmrtí 1202 - 1206 Předchůdce Eudoxia Kyjevská Lucie z Rujány Potomci Lešek I. Bílý Konrád I. Mazovský Adléta Rod Přemyslovci Dynastie Piastovci Otec Konrád II. Znojemský Matka Marie Srbská

Helena byla dcerou údělného knížete Konráda II. Znojemského z rodu Přemyslovců a Marie, dcery srbského župana Uroše Bílého. Polský diplomat a historik Jan Długosz přišel s hypotézou, že Helena byla dcerou haličského knížete, z kroniky Wincenta Kadłubka ovšem jednoznačně vyplývá, že starším bratrem polské kněžny byl český kníže Konrád II. Ota[2]. Přesné datum sňatku Heleny s nejmladším synem Boleslava Křivoústého Kazimírem II. je nejisté. Uvažuje se o rozmezí let 1160 až 1165. V manželství se narodilo sedm dětí, z toho pět synů.

Kazimír zemřel 5. května 1194, snad v důsledku srdečního selhání[3]. Jejich dva přeživší synové však byli ještě nezletilí. Regentské vlády v Malopolsku a Mazovsku se ujala Helena spolu s krakovským biskupem Fulkem a krakovským vévodou Mikulášem. Začaly však krvavé boje mezi Kazimírovými syny a jeho starším bratrem, Měškem III. Starým, které trvaly až do roku 1198, kdy se regentka Helena s Měškem III. dohodla. Měšek měl získat Krakov, synové Kazimíra Kujavsko.

Silný politický takt a inteligenci kněžny Heleny oceňuje ve své kronice i Wincent Kadłubka, který ji jistě znal osobně. Razila vlastní mince s nápisem ALENA DVCTRIX. Helena Znojemská zemřela mezi lety 1202 a 1206. Jan Długosz tvrdí, že žila ještě v roce 1211, což ovšem zpochybnil už O. Balzer[4].
