In 1206 Henry and his cousin Duke Władysław III Spindleshanks of Greater Poland agreed to swap the Silesian Lubusz Land against the Kalisz region, which met with fierce protest by Władysław's III nephew Władysław Odonic.

As Widukind of Corvey wrote, Mieszko ruled over the tribe called the Licicaviki, now commonly identified with the Polabian Lubusz Land.

In addition Kraków and Cieszyn were ceded to Bohemia, Lubusz Land was lost to Germany while Przemyśl Land in the east was lost to Halych-Ruthenia.

Bolesław ’ s territory included Lesser Poland, Silesia and Lubusz Land.

Bolesław ’ s territory included Lesser Poland, Silesia and Lubusz Land.

It rises in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland at Kromołów near Zawiercie, Silesian Voivodeship, flows through Łódź Land, Greater Poland and Lubusz Land, where it empties into the Oder near Kostrzyn at the border with Germany.

During 1229 – 30, the regent led a military expedition in order to recover and secure the possession of Lubusz Land, and in 1233 – 34 Henry actively supported his father's affairs in Prussia and Greater Poland.

The province's name recalls the historic Lubusz Land ( Lebus or Lubus ), although part of the voivodeship in fact belongs to the historic region of Silesia.

By conquest the first leaders of the Polans, Mieszko I and especially Boleslaw I added a number of surrounding territories to the newly established core Polish state, and Lebus Land or Lubusz in Lusatia came under Polish rule.

His son, Casimir III the Great, inherited Lesser Poland, the Duchy of Sandomierz, Greater Poland, Kuyavia, and the Duchies of Łęczyca and Sieradz, while Silesia and Lubusz Land to the west, along with Gdańsk Pomerania, Western Pomerania, and Mazovia to the north remained beyond the Kingdom's borders.

In 1249 the Silesian Duke Bolesław II Rogatka had sold Lubusz Land in the west to the Ascanian Margraves of Brandenburg, and the city of Landisberch Nova ( named after Altlandsberg ) was founded on the site in 1257.

Much of the Ukrainian population was forcibly resettled scattered in the new Polish " recovered territories " of Silesia, Pomerania, Lubusz Land, Warmia and Masuria after World War II in a military operation called Operation Vistula.

His younger half-brothers Bolesław IV the Curly and Mieszko III received the eastern Duchy of Masovia ( composed of Masovia with eastern Kuyavia ) and the western Duchy of Greater Poland ( the remaining parts of Greater Poland with Lubusz Land ) respectively, each as hereditary fiefs.

It flows out of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, through the voivodeships of Greater Poland and Lubusz Land, and empties near Gorzów Wielkopolski into the Warta.

Called the Lubusz Land while part of medieval Poland, the territory later known as the Neumark gradually became part of the German Margraviate of Brandenburg from the mid-13th century.

Polish rulers incorporated the future Neumark territory as the Lubusz Land: by the beginning of the 13th century it had a thinly-spread population of Poles.

They had gained a foothold east of the river by 1242 and in 1252 the Margraviate of Brandenburg and the Archbishopric of Magdeburg purchased the Lubusz Land.

Lubusz Land (; ) is a historical region and cultural landscape in Poland and Germany on both sides of the Oder river.

* Lubusz Land ( DE, PL )

Most of the Polish territory became part of the Lubusz Voivodeship, while the northern towns Choszczno ( Arnswalde ), Myślibórz ( Soldin ), and Chojna ( Königsberg in der Neumark ) belong to the West Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Since the reorganization of Polish voivodeships on 1 January 1999, almost all of the former Neumark region lies within the Lubusz Voivodeship.

The invasion to Międzyrzecz launched by the Margraves of Brandenburg has been successfully repulsed by Bolesław, who in December 1269 could advanced until Lubusz ( in addition, during this expedition were burned several fortresses, included the newly built in Sulęcin ).

Władysław III Spindleshanks (; b. 1161 / 67 – 3 November 1231 ), of the Piast Dynasty, was Duke of Greater Poland ( during 1194 – 1202 over all the land and during 1202 – 1229 only over the southern part ), High Duke of Poland and Duke of Kraków during 1202 – 1206 and 1228 – 1231, Duke of Kalisz during 1202 – 1206, ruler of Lubusz during 1206 – 1210 and 1218 – 1225, and ruler over Gniezno during 1216 – 1217.

The formal alliance between Spindleshanks and Henry I the Bearded ( similar to the previous agreement with Leszek I the White ) took place at the end of 1217 or early 1218, during an assembly in Sądowel, through the mediation of the Bishops Paweł II of Poznań and Wawrzyniec of Lubusz.

For unknown reasons, the content of the arrangements was beneficial only to the Duke of Greater Poland, who not only received the permission to retain Odonic's district ( which included parts of Kalisz, who under the agreement of 1206, was returned to Silesia ), but also obtain the district of Lubusz ( captured in 1209 by the Margrave of Lusatia Conrad II but recovered by Henry I the Bearded one year later ) during his lifetime.

The Bishopric of Lubusz was founded in 1124-25 during the reign of Boleslaus III to counter and convert the Liutizi.

The region roughly coincides with the present-day voivodeship ( province ) called Greater Poland Voivodeship (), although some parts of historic Greater Poland are within the Kuyavian-Pomeranian, Łódź and Lubusz Voivodeships.

Zielona Góra () is a city in Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland, with 117, 557 inhabitants within the city limits ( June 2009 ) and 294, 000 inhabitants within the metropolitan area, including three neighbouring counties ( 2005 ).

Lubusz Voivodeship, or Lubuskie Province ( in Polish, województwo lubuskie ), is a voivodeship ( province ) in western Poland.

Lubusz Voivodeship borders West Pomeranian Voivodeship to the north, Greater Poland Voivodeship to the east, Lower Silesian Voivodeship to the south, and Germany ( Brandenburg and Saxony ) to the west.

The east part of the Lubusz ( Lebus ) region was transferred to Poland, where in communist propaganda it was referred to as part of the " Regained " or " Recovered Territories ".

In the administrative reforms of 1998, the original proposals made no provision for a separate Lubusz voivodeship – Gorzów would have been part of West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Zielona Góra would have been in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, and other parts of the region were assigned to Greater Poland Voivodeship.
