Biblioteka Naukowa PAU i PAN w Krakowie
The subject of the presentation will be the policy of the princes: of Świdnica (Bolek II Mały) and of Ziębice (Bolek II, Mikołaj Mały, Bolko III and Jan) towards the monasteries within their domains. As a result of research on these domains, it was noticed that in the 14th century in the Duchy of Świdnica and Ziębice there were different approaches of the rulers towards the monasteries. In the Duchy of Świdnica - the number of princely donations to the monasteries was decreasing, while in Duchy of Ziębice there was first a long-term dispute with the monasteries (especially with the Henryków Abbey), temporarily interrupted by princely donations. The paper is to show certain models of relations between the princes and the monasteries, which can be observed in 14th and 15th century Silesia.
