Konrad I, Duke of Głogów

Konrad I of Głogów (Polish: Konrad I głogowski; 1228/31 – 6 August ca. 1274) was Duke of Głogów (Glogau) from 1251 until his death.

He was the fourth son of Henry II the Pious, Duke of Wrocław, by his wife Anna, daughter of King Ottokar I of Bohemia.

At the time of his father's death in the Battle of Legnica (9 April 1241) Konrad and his younger brother Władysław were placed under the guardianship of their older brother Bolesław II the Bald. In order to avoid excessive fragmentation of the paternal lands, the elder Duke, with the approval of their mother, sent him to study in Paris, where he was to be educated with the intention of becoming a priest in the future.

However, when Konrad found out about the division of the family lands between his older brothers Bolesław II the Bald and Henry III the White in 1248, he returned to the country and claimed his part in the Silesian inheritance.

Soon an agreement was reached under which Konrad remained under the protection and care of his older brother, who gave him the title of co-ruler. Bolesław II (who wanted to get rid of him) proposed Konrad for spiritual posts: first, as Provost of Głogów Cathedral, and then Bishop of Passau in Bavaria. Konrad, however, didn't have any intention of pursuing an ecclesiastical career and soon fell into conflict with Bolesław II.

Konrad fled to Greater Poland (June 1249), where he could count on the support of Duke Przemysł I and he managed to conquer Bytom Odrzański (Beuthen an der Oder). Konrad's bonds with the Dukes of Greater Poland were reinforced after his marriage with Przemysł I's sister Salome. His other brother Henry III the White soon became another ally in the fight against Bolesław II.
