Rok 1336 w procesie przemian ustrojowo-prawnych Śląska
The year 1336 in the process of political and legal transformations in Silesia

Summary/Abstract: In the process of political and legal transformations in Silesia, initiated in 1327, the events that took place in 1336 deserve more attention. The earliest one concerns the transformation of the Duchy of Wrocław into the hereditary Duchy of the Czech Crown, where the governor’s rule on behalf of the king would be held from then on by the land starost until 1742. The next one deals with the feudalisation of the first of the still free dukes of the Świdnicko-Jaworsk line, Bolko Ziębicki. The next one refers to the resignation of the rights to the Duchy of Ścinawa by its former liege duke from the Silesian Piast dynasty, Jan ścinawski, in favour of the Czech king, John of Bohemia, in exchange for lifetime governor’s rule in the Duchy of Głogów. The next one is connected with the childless death of the Upper Silesian Duke Leszek of Racibórz in 1336, which in 1337 would be the cause of a spectacular dispute over the inheritance rights after him. These events provoke an attempt to evaluate the Silesian policy of John of Bohemia and Casimir the Great after the Visegrad Congress of 1335.
