According to the Chronicle of January Długosz, Euphemia had a great and natural charm, and because of this she was also known as Ofka. Because Euphemia and Bolesław I were related in the third degree of consanguinity, a Papal dispensation was needed for the union, which was granted on 27 January 1412. The wedding took place ten months later, on 20 November, probably in the town of Wiślica.
Alexandra of Cieszyn (ca 1412 - d aft 6 October 1463), married to László Garai, Palatine and Ban of Macsó.
Wenceslaus I, Duke of Cieszyn (1413/18 - 1474). Władysław, Duke of Głogów (ca 1420 - 14 February 1460).
