Boleslaus II, Duke of Cieszyn
- Boleslaus II, Duke of Cieszyn
Bolesław II ( _cs. Boleslav II., _de. Boleslaus II.) (around 1425 - 8 October 1452) was the Duke of Cieszyn. He was the son of Bolesław I, fourth Duke of Cieszyn and Eufemia.
After the death of his father in 1431, Bolesław II ruled over the duchy together with his brothers and mother. After the division of duchy in 1442 he still held the title of the Duke of Cieszyn, but in practice ruled only over 16 towns and villages on the duchy's territory. In 1447 he gave broader city rights to the town of Frysztat. He left most of the control over the duchy to his brother Przemysław II.
Just like his brothers and father, also Bolesław II tried to be active in the international politics. Unlike his brother Władysław, who allied with Bohemia, Bolesław II maintained close ties mainly with Polish throne.
Bolesław II married in 1448 with Anna, cousin of Zofia, wife of Władysław Jagiełło. After the death of her husband, she cared about their son Kazimierz and resided mainly in Frysztat.
