Agnes of Silesia-Liegnitz
Agnes von Schlesien-Liegnitz (* after 1242 in Breslau ; † March 13, 1265 ) was Duchess of Liegnitz from 1248 and, by marriage, Countess of Württemberg .
Agnes came from the Liegnitz branch of the Silesian Piasts . She was the eldest daughter of Duke Boleslaw II and Hedwig († 1259), daughter of Count Heinrich von Anhalt .
After 1259, Agnes married Count Ulrich I of Württemberg ( Ulrich the founder ), whose first wife Mechthild von Baden had previously died ( probably in 1258 ). Agnes presumably died giving birth to her only son, the later Count Eberhard I ( Eberhard the Illustrious ). She was buried in the Beutelsbach collegiate church ; their bones were probably transferred to the collegiate church in Stuttgart in 1321 .
Agnes was the granddaughter of Duke Henry II of Silesia , known as the Pious , and the great-granddaughter of Saint Hedwig von Andechs .
