Bolesław II the Horned

Bolesław II the Horned, also known as Bolesław II the Bald, was a prominent figure in the history of Poland, born in the year twelve seventeen. As a member of the Silesian Piasts, he played a significant role in the political landscape of the region during the thirteenth century.

His reign as High Duke of Poland was brief, occurring in the year twelve forty-one. Following this, he became the Duke of Silesia at Wrocław, a position he held from twelve forty-one until twelve forty-eight. During this time, the duchy was divided among him and his brothers, leading to a shift in power dynamics within the region.

After the partition, Bolesław II continued to govern the Silesian Duchy of Legnica until his death in the year twelve seventy-eight. His rule was marked by significant events, including the second Mongol raid against Poland, which was led by Nogai Khan, highlighting the turbulent times in which he lived.
