===Henry IV's testament=== According to the chroniclers, the dying Henry IV made two documents. One to the Wroc艂aw church (which give the desired permissions to the Bishop to obtain the full sovereignty over the Duchy of [[Nysa, Poland|Nysa]]–[[Otmuch贸w]]) and other politic (who regulated the issue of his inheritance). Under this will, he bequeathed the Duchy of Wroc艂aw to Duke [[Henry III, Duke of Silesia-Glogau|Henry III]] of [[Duchy of G艂og贸w|G艂og贸w]], and [[Krak贸w]] -with the title of High Duke- to [[Przemys艂 II]]. In case of the death of one of the princes, the other could take possession over his districts, which further arrangements according to custom. Many historians, however, believed the existence of a third document. If it was true, this would be a step towards the reunification of Poland, and Henry IV, who was denigrated particularly in the earlier literature, was really a conscious promoter of Poland interests and a true patriot (apart from the merits of raising the awareness of the problems of ethnic and linguistic diversity in the [[Middle Ages]]). Only the testament to the Church (who was not count with the return of [[K艂odzko]] to King [[Wenceslaus II of Bohemia]] as an excuse for mixing in the Silesian affairs) was fully implemented. Henry IV was buried in the Kolegiata of the Holy Cross and St. Bartholomeus in [[Wroc艂aw]], which he founded. [[Henry V the Fat]] could take Wroc艂aw with support of King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia, after the local nobility refused to accept the rule of Henry III of G艂og贸w. Wenceslaus II himself gained the [[Seniorate Province]], but Duke Przemys艂 II could retain the title of High Duke. During World War II German anthropologists wanted to prove the "''Germanic look''" of Henry IV. To this end, his remains were removed and were to be tested. Unfortunately, they were lost during the war. The sarcophagus is now in the National Museum in Wroc艂aw.
