Conrad III. of Oels (* 1354 /1359; † 28. December 1412 ) was from 1403 until his death in 1412 Duke of Oels , Cosel , Steinau and semi Bytom . He came from the Glogau branch of the Silesian Piasts .
Life
His parents were Konrad II of Oels and Agnes († 1371), a daughter of Duke Casimir I of Teschen . Around 1380 he married Jutta / Gutha († 1416/19), whose origin is unknown. The marriage had five sons and two daughters. Since the sons were all baptized with the first name "Konrad" like their father and grandfather, they were given individual surnames to differentiate them.
