Duchy of Silesia
Not to be confused with the
Duchies of Silesia
and
Austrian Silesia
.
The
Duchy of Silesia
(, ) with its capital at
Wroclaw
was a medieval
duchy
located in the historic
Silesian
region of
Poland
. Soon after it was formed under the
Piast dynasty
in 1138, it fragmented into various Duchies of Silesia. In 1327 the remaining
Duchy of Wroclaw
as well as most other duchies ruled by the
Silesian Piasts
passed to the
Kingdom of Bohemia
as
Duchies of Silesia
. The acquisition was completed, when King
Casimir III the Great
of Poland renounced his rights to Silesia in the 1335
Treaty of Trentschin
.
