Primislaus II of Glogau (also Primko / Przemko of Glogau; * 1301/1308; † January 11, 1331 ) was from 1309 to 1312, together with his four brothers Duke of Glogau and Mr. Great Poland. From 1312 to 1318 / 19, he was together with his brother John, then to about 1323, with his brother Henry IV and then until his death in 1331 the sole Duke of Glogau. He came from a branch of the Silesian Piast Glogau.

Life

Primislaus parents were Henry III. of Glogau († 1309) and Matilda († 1318 ), daughter of Duke Albrecht of Brunswick- Lüneburg. To 1324/25 he married Constance († 1360/63 ), daughter of Duke Bernhard II Schweidnitzer The marriage remained childless.

After the death of her father, Henry III. , Who was next to his Silesian estates at the same time master of almost the whole of Great Poland, inherited in 1309 Primislaus and his brothers Henry IV († 1342 ), Konrad I († 1366), Johann ( † 1361 / 65), and Boleslaw († 1321 ), its areas. This they managed to 1312 under the tutelage of her mother, Mechthild von Braunschweig first together.

To prevent fragmentation of their territories, the five brothers divided their inheritance on February 29th, 1312 first in two parts. Primislaus and the eldest brother of Henry IV and the fourth- born brother John received the greater western area with the cities Steinau, Sagan, Grünberg, Crossen and poses. Similarly, among these three brothers Glogau, Bytom and Frey city, but were assigned their lifetime as jointure first her mother. The second-born Konrad I and the third-born Bolesław received the eastern region with the cities of Gniezno, Kalisz, Oels and Wohlau. They lost their big Polish territories already in 1314 at the Polish duke and later king Władysław I the Elbow-.

1318 protested Primislaus brother Henry IV at the same time for his brothers and other Silesian dukes against the levying of Peter 's pence in the until then in Silesia not usual form of poll tax. The objection in the papal chair in Avignon but was rejected by the Pope. Since the Dukes payment still refused, an interdict was imposed on the Diocese of Breslau. On June 23, 1323 to Henry IV turned at the same time on behalf of his brothers under the titulary " Duke of Silesia, heir to the Kingdom of Poland, Lord of Glogau and poses " to the Pope and assured him that he and his brothers the payment of Peter 's Pence have now ordered in their lands. He also asked the Pope for his protection, if the Emperor or King of the Romans sought to extend their suzerainty over Henry and his brother countries.

After the childless brother Boleslaw / Bolko 1322 death, the brothers divided the total ownership again. Primislaus / Primko received Glogau, Sagan Henry IV, I. Konrad Namslau and Oels and Johann received Steinau. Although Primislaus / Primkos brothers their territories in Wroclaw voluntarily the Czech king John of Luxembourg transferred on 29 April and 9 May 1329 which gives them special inheritance privileges were granted to Primislaus refused to follow suit and also to be Bohemian vassal. Maybe that's why he died on January 11, 1331 a poison attack of his subjects. Although his lawful heirs his brothers Henry IV and John of Steinau were and Primislaus / Primkos widow Konstanze as a jointure state the city Glogau, it came subsequently to inheritance disputes to the duchy of Glogau, which eventually led to its division into a " Bohemian- royal " and a " ducal " half lead. The reason for this was that the brother of Johann Steinau had sold his right to the inheritance of the Duchy of Glogau half of the Bohemian king John of Luxembourg before Primislaus / Primkos death. It was only in 1342 succeeded Henry V of Glogau, the son of the Duke Henry IV, to get to the half of his father entitled.
