## Biography

[edit]

Dobrosława of Pomerania was most likely the daughter of Bogusław I, duke of Pomerania, and his wife, Walpurga, of the Griffin dynasty.[2] In 1129, following the death of Wartislaw I, the castellan in the Castellany of Gützkow, she was titled the Countess of Gützkow, with the County of Gützkow being formed under her rule. She was also Countess of Schlawe.

Probably between 1187 and 1189, she had married Bolesław of Kuyavia, Duke of Kuyavia.[3] In the marriage, she is thought to have had two or three children: Wierzchosława Bolesławówna, Audacja Małgorzata and a daughter whose name is unknown.[4]
