Hedwig of Andechs
Encyclopedia
Saint Hedwig of Silesia , also Saint Hedwig of Andechs (1174 – 15 October 1243) from the comital House of Andechs
was Duchess of Silesia
from 1201 and of Greater Poland from 1231 as well as High Duchess consort of Poland from 1232 until 1238.
and his second wife Agnes of Wettin
, she was born at Andechs Castle in the Duchy of Bavaria
. Her elder sister Agnes
married King Philip II of France
(annulled in 1200), her sister Gertrude
(killed in 1213) King Andrew II of Hungary
, while the youngest Matilda (Mechtild) became abbess at the Benedictine
convent of Kitzingen
in Franconia
, where Hedwig also received her education. By her sister Gertrude, she was the aunt of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary
.
, son and heir of the Piast
duke Bolesław I the Tall of Silesia
. As soon as Henry succeeded his father in 1201, he had to struggle with his Piast
relatives, at first with his uncle Duke Mieszko IV Tanglefoot
who immediately seized the Upper Silesian Duchy of Opole
. In 1206 Henry and his cousin Duke Władysław III Spindleshanks of Greater Poland
agreed to swap the Silesian Lubusz Land
against the Kalisz
region, which met with fierce protest by Władysław's III nephew Władysław Odonic. When Henry went to Gąsawa
in 1227 to meet his Piast cousins, he narrowly saved his life, while High Duke Leszek I the White
was killed by the men of the Pomerelia
n Duke Swietopelk II, instigated by Władysław Odonic.
The next year Henry's ally Władysław III Spindleshanks succeeded Leszek I as High Duke
; however as he was still contested by his nephew in Greater Poland, he made Henry his governor at Kraków
, whereby the Silesian duke once again became entangled into the dispute over the Seniorate Province. In 1229 he was captured and arrested at Płock Castle by rivaling Duke Konrad I of Masovia
. Hedwig proceeded to Płock pleading for Henry and was able to have him released.
Her actions promoted the reign of her husband: Upon the death of the Polish High Duke Władysław III Spindleshanks in 1231, Henry also became Duke of Greater Poland
and the next year prevailed as High Duke at Kraków. He thereby was the first of the Silesian Piast descendants of Władysław II the Exile to gain the rule over Silesia and the Seniorate Province according to the 1138 Testament of Bolesław III Krzywousty.
(Kloster Trebnitz), which he had established in 1202 at Hedwig's request. The widow moved into the convent, which was led by her daughter Gertrude. She invited numerous German
religious persons from the Holy Roman Empire
into the Silesian lands, as well as German settlers who founded numerous cities, towns and villages in the course of the Ostsiedlung
, while cultivating barren parts of Silesia for agriculture.
Hedwig and Henry had several daughters, though only one surviving son, Henry II the Pious
, who succeeded his father as Duke of Silesia and Polish High Duke. The widow however had to witness the killing of her son, vainly awaiting the support of Emperor Frederick II
, during the Mongol invasion of Poland
at the Battle of Legnica
(Wahlstatt) in 1241. The hopes for a re-united Poland were lost and even Silesia fragmented into numerous Piast duchies
under Henry's II sons. Hedwig and her daughter-in-law, Henry's II widow Anna of Bohemia, established a Benedictine abbey at the site of the battle in Legnickie Pole
, settled with monks descending from Opatovice
in Bohemia
.
Hedwig and Henry had lived a very pious life, and Hedwig had great zeal for religion. She had supported her husband in donating the Augustinian
provostry at Nowogród Bobrzański
(Naumburg) and the commandry of the Knights Templar
at Oleśnica Mała (Klein Oels). Hedwig always helped the poor and donated all her fortune to the Church. According to legend, she went barefoot
even in winter, and when she was urged by the Bishop of Wrocław to wear shoes, she took them in her hands. On 15 October 1243, Hedwig died and was buried in Trzebnica, while relic
s of her are preserved at Andechs Abbey and St. Hedwig's Cathedral
in Berlin
.
in 1267 by Pope Clement IV
, a supporter of the Cistercian order, at the suggestion of her grandson Prince-Archbishop Władysław of Salzburg. She is the patron saint
of Silesia
, of Andechs
, and of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Görlitz
. Her feast day according to the General Roman Calendar
is on October, 16. A 17th century legend has it, that Hedwig on a pilgrimage to Rome
stopped at Zell
in Austria
, where she had healing waters spring up at a source which up to today bears her name.
In 1773 King Frederick II of Prussia
, having conquered and annexed Silesia in 1742, had St. Hedwig's Cathedral in Berlin built for the Catholic Upper Silesian immigrants, now the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Berlin
