Bolko II of Ziębice
Bolko II of Ziębice (1300–1341), fourth son of Bolko I the Strict, rejected a Church career and received Ziębice as an independent duchy from his brother Bernard in 1322.
He robbed local monasteries and was excommunicated in 1329 for attacking a papal legate's suite. In 1335 he defeated a Bohemian force, but in 1336 did homage to the king of Bohemia. Debt forced him to pledge town after town, until only Ziębice remained, where he died in 1341.
