Boriwo is said to have been a vassal of the Meißner bishop with a manor in Grumbach and on the manor Kleinopitz at least until the arbitration ruling by the Margrave of Meißen between the Meißner bishop and the burgrave of Dohna around Thorun Castle from 1206 .

He was mentioned in a document from 1216 to 1242. As a vassal of the Margrave of Meißen, Dietrich the Oppressed , he was the castle captain of the Tharandt castle , which was built to enforce the territorial claims of the Wettins against the burgraves of Dohna with fortifications in Rabenau and Ruppendorf . The former ruled the Weißeritz and Müglitz area and also tried to colonize other areas by having Waldhufendörfer also set up north of the Weißeritz.

The exact time when Tharandt Castle was built is not known, but it can be assumed that it was built between 1206 and 1215, as it was first mentioned in a document on January 21, 1216 with Boriwo de Tarant. On February 9, 1223, Boriwo is referred to in a document from Bishop Bruno II as "Borowi miles honestus" - noble knight - so one can assume that he was a ministerial, knightly. Currently the opinion is widespread that Boriwo came to Tharandt from the castle garrison of Döbeln . Its name could be of Slavic origin and derived from Bořivoj .

Boriwo founded the castle Pohrsdorf as Boriwois village by spinning off his Grumbacher property and built the castle Pohrsdorf there as a tower hill castle . This also served to protect the Old Meißner Landstrasse , which also served as a pilgrimage route between Altzella Monastery or Meißen and Bohemia . His name is also associated with Großopitz , which he Germanized from an existing Slavic settlement in 1215. After 1223 he founded Braunsdorf , which is still controversial. In addition, he is associated with the Fördergersdorf church and the church in Grumbach as the patron saint at the time of its creation .

When Margrave Dietrich died in 1221, Ludwig the Holy , Landgrave of Thuringia, went on a campaign against the Margrave of Meissen . It is said that he wanted to secure the inheritance of the underage Heinrich - Dietrich's son, his nephew and ward. At least the Erfurt Chronicle claims that the castle complex in Tharandt burned down in 1223. But it was rebuilt and expanded as early as 1240. The existing foundation walls - even if they have not yet been completely excavated - correspond to this building, even if the visible parts of the castle ruins were changed when the ruins of the quarry were partially "reconstructed" in the Romantic style around 1800. Both the Gothic brick-lined window openings and the balcony are “modern” ingredients that do not correspond to the original.

Documents prove that Boriwo also worked as bailiff in the new castle until his trace is lost after a last document from 1242. He could have been buried in the Fördergersdorf church, which is under the patronage of Tharandt Castle , where fragments of a Romanesque tombstone from this period have been preserved.

For Landding (Meißnischer Landtag) 1220 his brother Thimo is mentioned (1220 "Borewei et germanus eius Thimo").

Another document names his sons Christian and Johannes de Tarant, as witnesses on the Landding 1228 in Kolmitz.

Later on, Herrmann de Tarant (1300) and Friczko de Tarandia (1350) appear in place registers. Their relationship to Boriwo is not mandatory. Heinrich Tarant (1452) is assigned to the family of Boriwo de Tarant.
