Emnilda of Lusatia

  General Notes:

It's claimed that Emnilda had a great influence on her husband, and perhaps also in the state affairs. She probably accompanied Boleslaw I to the meeting of Merseburg on 23 May 1013 and perhaps she actively promoted the recognition of his son Mieszko as a vassal of the Emperor for his government over Moravia,[4] a fact who put in jeopardy the succession rights of Boleslaw I's eldest son Bezprym, who at the end was excluded in favor of his younger half-brother.

She was mentioned by Gallus Anonymus and Thietmar of Merseburg; both chroniclers noted she was a wise and charming person.

The exact date of Emnilda's death is unknown, but is assumed that this happened in 1017 at the latest, or, more likely, at the end of 1016, because on 3 February 1018 Boleslaw I married with his fourth and last wife, Oda of Meissen.

Emnilda married King Boleslaw Chrobry I of Poland, son of Duke Mieszko of Poland and Dobrawa of Bohemia, circa 987. (King Boleslaw Chrobry I of Poland was born in 967 and died on 17 Jun 1025.)

  Marriage Notes:

The wedding between Emnilda and the heir of the Polish throne, Boleslaw, took place around 987.
