He was the second son of Casimir II, Duke of Cieszyn, by his wife Johanna, daughter of Wiktoryn of Poděbrady, Duke of Opawa.

The decision of Casimir II to destined his eldest son Frederick to the Church career placed Wenceslaus as the presumed successor of his father. Frederick's death in 1507 led Wenceslaus II as the sole heir of Casimir II, but wasn't until 1518 when he was named co-ruler of the Duchy of Cieszyn. However, he died four years before his father, so Wenceslaus II never ruled alone. After Casimir II's death in 1528 he was succeeded by his grandson Wenceslaus III Adam, only surviving son of Wenceslaus II.

On 1 December 1518, Wenceslaus II married with Anna (b. 5 May 1487 - d. 7 February 1539), daughter of Frederick I, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach. They had three children:
