Grzymisława Ingvarevna of Luck (born probably between 1185 and 1195[1] died probably November 8, 1258[2]) was a Princess of Krakow, daughter of Ingvar of Kiev, Grand Prince of Kiev and Prince of Lutsk from the Rurikid Dynasty.

Life

In 1207 Grzymislawa married Leszek the White,[3] Prince of Krakow. This marriage was part of Leszek's policy of eastward expansion. After the assassination of her husband (November 24, 1227), she became regent on behalf of her minor son Boleslaw V the Chaste. Even after becoming independent Boleslaw exerted considerable influence from his mother on his government. Grzymislawa was closely linked with the Monastery of the Franciscans in Zawichost were she became benefactress. She died between June 14 and December 24, 1258 (it is possible that she died on November 8). She was probably buried in the Franciscan monastery in Zawichoście.[4]

There are also different views on Grzymislawa's origins. According to some historians, Leszek the White married or became engaged in 1207 or 1208 to the daughter Ingwar, whose name is unknown. Later, between 1208 and 1211, he married Grzymisław, perhaps the daughter of Yaroslav of Kiev.[5]

Grzymislawa and Leszek had three children:

  1. Salomea (1211/1212 - 1268), married Coloman of Lodomeria and was later beatified by Pope Clement X.
  2. Helena (d.1265), married Vasilko Romanovich[6]
  3. Bolesław V the Chaste (21 June 1226 O.S. – 7 December 1279 O.S.), succeeded his father
