Glatzer Land
Kłodzko Land (Czech: Kladsko; German: Glatzer Land; Polish: ziemia kłodzka) is a historical region in southwestern Poland, which belongs to this country since 1945. Geographically speaking, Kłodzko Land (with an approximate area 1,640 km2) consists of the Kłodzko Valley surrounded by parts of the Sudetes mountains, which together forms a significant jut into neighbouring Czech area. The land, named after its capital city of Kłodzko, today forms Kłodzko County of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
Historically, the area may have been part of Great Moravia under King Svatopluk I by the late 9th century, though the extent of his realm is disputed. According to the Chronica Boëmorum (1125) by Cosmas of Prague, the castle of Kłodzko on the road from Prague to Wrocław in 981 was a possession of the Bohemian nobleman Slavník.
During the rivalry between the Přemyslid dukes Boleslaus III and Jaromir in 1003, the Polish duke Bolesław I the Brave invaded Bohemia, but had to pull back the next year, facing the forces of King Henry II of Germany. In turn the Bohemian duke Bretislaus I campaigned the adjacent northern territory of Silesia in 1039. An armistice mediated by Emperor Henry II demarcated the spheres of influence, leaving Kłodzko with Bohemia.
