Notes

  1. Bolesław I was married twice before he succeeded his father in 992: with a daughter of Rikdag, Margrave of Meissen (probably called Hunilda or Oda) and with the Hungarian princess Judith, daughter of the Géza, Grand Prince of the Hungarians. Both marriages ended in divorce and because of this, they were not counted as Duchesses of the Polans.

  1. Krystyna and Casimir III had separated before 25 February 1365, when he married Hedwig of Sagan. However, it's unknown wheter their marriage was ever legally dissolved or if she died prior to the King's wedding with a new queen.
