Marriage and issue According to some sources,[1] Mieszko's wife died around 1303, but her name is unknown. The Obituary of the Church of St. Vincent in Wrocław showed the existence of a certain "Grzymisława, Duchess of Opole" (Grimizlaua ducissa Opuliensis) who was buried there around 13 September 1286.[2] Her parentage is also unknown, but her name suggests a Russian origin, probably member of the Rurikids.[3] Her title suggests that she may have been the wife of Mieszko I or the first wife of Bolko I (Mieszko I's brother), or maybe a completely different person.

Also, the exact date of their marriage was uncertain, but after a further reconstructions of their children's birth dates, was placed between 1275 and 1280. They had three children:[4]

Władysław (born 1275/80 – d. by 15 May 1324) Casimir I (born 1280/90 – d. by 29 September 1358) Viola Elisabeth (born ca. 1291 – d. 21 September 1317), married on 5 October 1305 to King Wenceslaus III of Bohemia __________________________________________________________
