Life
Early years
Agnes was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of her parents. The date of birth is known thanks to Ortlieb, benedictine monk of Zwiefalten who visited the court of Dowager Duchess Salomea in Łęczyca between 1140 and early 1141; in his reports, he mentioned that Agnes had three years old. As in 1138 Salomea gave birth the future Casimir II the Just, Agnes was born a year earlier.[1]
She was probably named after the wife of his half-brother Władysław II, Agnes of Babenberg, even though it's unwillingness to Salomea of Berg.[2] It's also possible that she was named after his father's half-sister Agnes, Abbess of Gandersheim and Quedlinburg.[3]
