He was first mentioned on January 10, 1289, when he, together with his father and his next younger brother, Wladislaus, paid homage to the Bohemian King Wenceslaus II and took the feudal oath. For the year 1294 he is recorded as a scholastic of Kraków and three years later as a canon of the Wrocław cathedral chapter . During the lifetime of his father, who died in 1312, was for him the territory of Tostoutsourced, as the duke of which he first documented in 1304 and exercised the rulership rights when he sold the Scholtisei of the village of Giegowicz near Tost with other accessories to Peter Ratay.

In a document written on March 6, 1309, he testified that his knight Scarbimir had sold the Keltsch estate to the knights Jasco and Florian.

Around 1315 Boleslaus went to the court of the Hungarian King Karl Robert von Anjou , who was married to Boleslaus sister Maria , who died in 1317. In 1320 he was sent by the king to the Krakow court, where he agreed with King Władysław I. Ellenlang the marriage of his daughter Elisabeth to King Charles Robert of Anjou. Presumably for this reason he was appointed Archbishop of Gran on October 2, 1321 .

Shortly before his death, he managed to get his younger brother Mieszko to the bishopric of Neutra . After his death in 1328, Boleslaus was buried in Gran Cathedral. The Tost area was inherited by his brother Wladislaus , who in turn linked it to the Duchy of Bytom.
