3 Biography

Before 1277 he became a duke of Poznan, and after the death of his uncle Boleslaus the Pious in 1279 he became the duke of whole of Greater Poland. According to the Treaty of Kepno ( 1282) he was the co-ruler of Mestwin II, duke of Eastern Pomerania ( Poland) and in 1294 his successor successor in Poland. In 1287 this alliace was extended to duke Boguslaw IV of Western Pomerania.

According to the last will of Henry IV Probus, duke of Silesia and high-duke of Poland, he inherited in 1290 the provinces of Kraków and Sandomierz (both were called Lesser Poland), but soon ceded them to Venceslas II of Bohemia. As he was the strongest Polish duke of the time, possessed the royal insignia from Kraków, and had support of the clergy for the unification of Poland, he was crowned king of Poland in 1295 by the archbishop of Gniezno, Jakub Swinka , and 5 other bishops.

In 1296 he was kidnapped and murdered on February 8 in Rogozno , by the men of electors of Brandenburg with some help of Polish noble families of Nalecz and Zaremba. His kingship was short but the revived kingdom survided for the next 500 years.
