1013, Mieszko II married with Richeza ( b. bef.

Both arranged the betrothal of Bolesław's son Mieszko II Lambert with the Emperor's niece Richeza of Lotharingia.

The future marriage of Bolesław I's son Mieszko to Richeza (), niece of Otto III, was also probably agreed upon at this point.

Also, was performed the marriage of his son Mieszko with Richeza of Lotharingia, daughter of the Count Palatine Ezzo of Lotharingia and granddaughter of Emperor Otto II.

* March 21 – Blessed Richeza of Lotharingia, wife of King Mieszko II of Poland ( 990 – 1034 )

Due to the childlessness of Otto III, the seven daughters of his sister Mathilde ( the only of Otto II's daughters who married and produced children ), were the only potential brides for Mieszko, Bolesław I's son and heir ; the oldest of Otto III's nieces, Richeza, was the chosen one.

The marriage between Mieszko and Richeza took place in Merseburg, probably during the Pentecost festivities.

After the final peace agreement between the Holy Roman Empire and Poland, which was signed in 1018 in Bautzen, Richeza and Mieszko maintained close contacts with the German court.

Six months later, on Christmas Day, Mieszko II Lambert and Richeza were crowned King and Queen of Poland by the Archbishop of Gniezno, Hipolit, in the Gniezno Cathedral.

He was the only son of Mieszko II Lambert by his wife Richeza, daughter of Count Palatine Ezzo of Lotharingia ( Ezzonen ) and granddaughter of Emperor Otto II.

He also associated the Palatine dynasty to his Eastern policies, and mediated the marriage of Ezzo's daughter Richeza with the heir to the Polish Duke Mieszko II.

# 1039-1043: unknown daughter ( b. unknown, d. after 1052 ) of King Mieszko II Lambert of Poland and his wife, Richeza of Lotharingia

The Royal crown and regalia were personally delivered by Mieszko II's wife, Queen Richeza.

Gertrude ( about 1025 – 4 January 1108 ), princess of Poland, was the daughter of King Mieszko II of Poland and Queen Richeza of Lotharingia.

The Brauweiler Chronicle indicated that soon after the escape of her husband, Richeza and her children fled to Germany with the Polish royal crown and regalia, which were given to Emperor Conrad II and she subsequently played an important role in mediating a peace settlement between Poland and the Holy Roman Empire.

In Saalfeld Richeza led the Polish opposition which supported her son Casimir, who in 1039, with the help of Conrad II, finally obtain the Polish throne.

This was prompted by Archbishop Anno II, who appealed to an oral agreement with Richeza.

The Klotten estate donated the Richeza's funeral arrangements to St. Maria ad Gradus, whose relationship with Richeza, Hermann II and Anno II is unclear.

Besides the coffin, hang two medieval portraits of Richeza and Anno II, who dated from the medieval grave in St. Maria ad Gradus.

Whether this was done at the behest of Anno II, or whether it may have made by Richeza, isn't clarified.

Among these, in addition to Richeza were named Anno II and her parents.

In 1152, Alfonso married Richeza of Poland, the daughter of Ladislaus II the Exile.

The original name of one of the oldest settlements in the Czech Republic was Hradec ( the Castle ); Králové ( of the queen ) was affixed when it became one of the dowry towns of Elisabeth Richeza of Poland ( 1286 – 1335 ), who lived here for thirty years having been the second wife of two Bohemian Kings, Wenceslaus II and then Rudolph I of Habsburg.

# Richeza ( died about 1292 ), spouse of Przemysł II of Poland

Wenceslaus ' second wife was Elisabeth Richeza, daughter of Przemysł II, King of Poland ( 1295 – 1296 ).

In 1300, he married Elisabeth Richeza ( 1286 – 1335 ), daughter of Przemysł II.

Richeza's daughter Sofia of Minsk, Queen of Denmark by her first marriage with Valdemar I, give Richeza her only known legitimate grandchildren: the later kings Knud VI and Valdemar II of Denmark ; Sophie ( Countess of Orlamünde ); Margareta and Maria, nuns at Roskilde ; Ingeborg ( the later repudiated Queen of France ); Helena ( Duchess of Brunswick-Luneburg ) and Richeza, named after her grandmother and who, like her, became Queen of Sweden.

Both lines claim descent from the medieval Danish House of Estridsen via Christian I of Denmark's ancestress Richeza of Denmark, Lady of Werle, the daughter of Eric V of Denmark, but Frederick also descended from Eric V's son Christopher II of Denmark whom no heir or monarch of Denmark had been descended from since Christopher III of Denmark.

Magnus, whose birth year has never been confirmed in modern times, was probably the second son of Birger Jarl ( Birger Magnuson, 1200 – 66 ) and Princess Ingeborg, herself the sister of the childless king Eric Ericson of Sweden, thus a daughter of king Eric the Survivor and his queen, Richeza of Denmark.

Soon after, a barons ' rebellion — coupled with the so-called " Pagan Reaction " of the commoners — forced both Casimir and Richeza to flee to Germany again.

Richeza returned again to Poland, this time with her daughter Sofia, but left her two sons behind with her former husband.

Richeza of Lotharingia ( also called Richenza, Rixa, Ryksa ; b. ca.

Only in 1037 the young prince returned to Poland in order to recover his rights over the throne ; apparently Richeza also returned with him, although this fact is disputed among historians.

Otto's death seems to have touched Richeza ; apparently, they were very close ( Otto named his only daughter after her ).

According to witnesses, Richeza had a small and graceful stature ; her collarbone showed traces of a fracture, which may have been caused by falling from a horse.

Richeza of Poland (, ; 12 April 1116 – after 25 December 1156 ), was a Polish princess and member of the House of Piast, and by her three marriages Queen consort of Sweden and Princess of the Principality of Minsk ( now the capital and largest city in Belarus ).

In 1156 Knud V married Princess Helena of Sweden, daughter of King Sverker I and his first wife Ulvhild ; in consequence, Richeza became the step-mother-in-law of her own son.

Her name at birth was Richeza ; she adopted the name Elizabeth after her first marriage.
