Scroll with an image of Prince Przemysl II, painted in watercolour by the artist of our publishing house, Marek Miha. The portrait refers stylistically to the series of drawings Poczet królów i książąt polskich by Jan Matejko, in which the artist did not include an image of Prince Przemysl II.
PRZEMYSŁ II
After the heirless death of Boleslaw the Pious in 1279, Przemysl became lord of the whole of Greater Poland. In 1282, he forced the Duke of Pomerania to pay a fief tribute. Henry IV Probus bequeathed Malopolska to him in his will. In 1295, the Pope consented to the coronation of Przemysl, as king of Poland. In 1296, Przemysl set out on a tour of Pomerania, where he was assassinated, with the unexplained involvement of Czechs, by the Brandenburg margraves.
