Notes about Hedwig OF POMERANIA

Hedwig (also named Jadwiga; d. 29 December 1249), was by marriage Duchess of Greater Poland.

Her parentage is disputed among historians and sources. Among the possible origins for Hedwig include:
Descendance from the Pomerelian Samborides lineage of the Dukes of Pomerania. i.e. the daughter of Mestwin I, Duke of Pomerania. This theory is the most accepted among historiography and web sources.
Descendance from the Bohemian Premyslid dynasty
Descendance from the German House of Andechs.[This origin is supported by the fact that she is called cousin of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, Poppo von Osterna.

After Wladyslaw Odonic was expelled from Poland by his uncle Wladyslaw III Spindleshanks, he spent some time in Hungary, Bohemia and Germany before he arrived to the court of Swantopolk II, Duke of Pomerania around 1218. Was in Pomerania were the wedding between Wladyslaw and Hedwig took place (ca. 1218-1220), a fact who reafirm the close blood relationship between Hedwig and the Pomeranian ruler. With the support of Swantopolk II, Wladyslaw began the conquest of Greater Poland, which he completed in 1229.

During her marriage, Hedwig bore her husband at least four children, two sons -Przemysl I and Boleslaw- and two daughters -Salomea (Duchess of Glogów) and Euphemia (Duchess of Opole)-. Sources also included as her children a short-lived son, Ziemomysl, and a daughter, Hedwig, first wife of Duke Casimir I of Kuyavia.

Wladyslaw Odonic died on 5 June 1239. Hedwig survived him for another ten years before she died herself. She is buried at Gniezno Cathedral in Poland.
