Since Benedykt Zientara's classic monograph on Henry the Bearded, there has been a common belief that the ruler's foundation campaign was aimed at including the monasteries in the great development plan of Silesia. Is this thesis still relevant after years of research on the economic activity of monasteries in Silesia in the Middle Ages? I will try to answer this question in my speech.
