3 unusual facts about Konrad I


Bobrowice, Krosno Odrzańskie County

Part of the Silesian Duchy of Głogów under the Piast duke Konrad I from 1251 on, the settlement in 1476 belonged to the inheritance of Barbara of Hohenzollern, widow of the last Głogów duke Henry XI, and therefore claimed by her father Elector Albert Achilles of Brandenburg.

Konrad I, Duke of Głogów

By 1271, Konrad married his second wife, Sophie (b. ca. 1259 - d. 24 August 1318), daughter of Dietrich the Wise, Margrave of Landsberg (second son of Henry III, Margrave of Meissen) and — according to some sources — widow of the last legitimate male member of the House of Hohenstaufen, Conradin, King of Sicily and Jerusalen.

This was a decisive contribution to the institution of the Magdeburg rights in Głogów in 1253.
