Wlodimirus religiosus ordinis beati Benedicti de Tiniec iam professus. An unknown son of Włodek, a prince of Zator.

Summary/Abstract: "A diplomatic code of the monastery in Tyniec" covers a diploma of Władysław, a prince of Oświęcim, dated "MCCL pleno". An exhibitor, in presence of his brother, Janusz, a prince of Racibórz, in view of Tyniec profession of his son Włodzimierz, used him to bequeath a few countries in Zator to Tyniec Benedictines. Because Władysław of Opole (1246—1281) was not entitled a prince of Oświęcim, did not have either the brother Janusz or the son Włodzimierz, whereas the receiver of nomination, an abbot Daniel, is not known from the 13th century sources, the researchers regarded the document to be a falsification. They did not pay attention to the record in the obituary notice in Lubiń, which, dated back to 21 May, noted down the death of Włodzimierz, a brother of Tyniec and prince of Oświęcim, and Sczygielski’s complement that Włodzimierz was the son of the prince of Zator. A disputable document is not about Władysław of Opole, but Władysław (Włodek) of Zator. His brother was Janusz of Zator, sometimes confused with Janusz of Racibórz, which was reflected in a diploma coming in fact from the end of the 15th century, most probably from 1477—1494 when Włodek and Janusz co-ruled the duchy of Zator. At this time Andrzej Ożga and Jan Sułowski ruled the Tyniec abbey, from 9 January 1486 and 7 October 1486 respectively. A few-month-gap (from 9 January to 7 October 1486) was probably filled in the ruling by an abbot Daniel, unknown to the sources, whose death was noted down by obituary notices in Lubiń and Tyniec on 6 June.
