Louis I of Brzeg

Louis I the Fair (c. 1321–1398), second son of Bolesław III the Generous of Legnica, won Brzeg and Chojnów after a six-year war against his brother Wenceslaus I, settled in 1359.

After Wenceslaus died in 1364 he ruled Legnica as regent for his underage nephews until 1373, repaired its finances and bought back Brzeg-Oława in 1368. A trusted imperial mediator, he promoted the cult of St Hedwig and was buried at Brzeg in 1398.
