lieutenant is unknown when exactly the marriage between High Duke Bolesław IV of Poland and Maria took place. Nothing is known about Maria"s life. She is only named in a charter dated 31 December 1167, under which the Chapter of Krakow was granted two villages.
Earlier literature assumed that she was the mother of Leszek.
However, after the discovery of coins upon which Leszek called himself son of Anastasia (the Latin or Greek equivalent of High Duchess Viacheslava), this theory proved to be inaccurate. There is no known date of death or burial place for Maria.
