3 unusual facts about Erhard of Queis


Erhard of Queis

Queis married Duchess Apollonia, a daughter of Victor of Poděbrady, Duke of Münsterberg and Opava, who had been a nun in the Poor Clares monastery at Strzelin.

Queis and Polentz had ceded temporal power over their bishoprics to the Duke, and only retained the Lordships of Marienwerder und Schönberg.

Quies sided wholly with the Reformation, just like his predecessor, bishop George of Polentz.
