The Duchy of Prudnik was separated from the Kingdom of Bohemia by Nicholas II in 1318. [1] [2] He ruled over the duchy until 1337, [3] when he was forced to give Prudnik to Bolesław the Elder . The duchy returned under Nicholas' rule in 1361 thanks to his marriage with Juta, the princess of Niemodlin and daughter of Bolesław. [4]
After the death of Euphemia of Masovia, widow of Vladislaus II of Opole by 1424, Bernard of Niemodlin and his brother Bolko IV of Opole inherited her dower lands, Głogówek , which at the end of that year was given to Bolko IV's son, Bolko V the Hussite .
In 1424, after Bolko V the Hussite became the independent ruler over Głogówek and Prudnik thanks to the resignation of both his father and uncle Bernard, forming the united Duchy of Głogówek and Prudnik . [5] [6]
