===Provisions of the Congress=== The Congress took place on 15 August 1135. During the ceremony, Emperor Lothair III recognized the rights of the Polish ruler over Pomerania. In return, Bolesław agreed to pay homage for the Pomeranian lands and the [[Principality of Rügen]],<ref>The hypothesis about the Polish ruler paying homage to Germany was undermines by K. Maleczyński, who pointed that in this way Bolesław retained the sovereignty over his Pomeranian lands. The ''Annals of Magdeburg'', which reported this information, added a note with the year 1113 (Congress in Merseburg), who is considers reliable. It shall give the fact that any other German or Bohemian sources doesn't mention this event. K. Maleczyński: ''Bolesław III Krzywousty'', pp. 239–246. On the other hand S. Szczur, referring to the ''Annals'', indicates that the Polish prince acknowledged the sovereignty of the Emperor not only for Western Pomerania and Rügen, but also for Poland. S. Szczur: ''Historia Polski - średniowiecze'', p. 126.</ref> with the payment of 6,000 pieces of fine silver from these lands to the Holy Roman Empire; however, he remained fully independent ruler of his main realm, Poland. With Bolesław's death in 1138, Polish authority over Pomerania ended,<ref>[[Kyra T. Inachin]]: ''Die Geschichte Pommerns, Hinstorff Rostock'', 2008, p. 17, {{ISBN|978-3-356-01044-2}}: "Mit dem Tod Kaiser Lothars 1137 endete der sächsische Druck auf Wartislaw I., und mit dem Ableben Boleslaw III. auch die polnische Oberhoheit."</ref> triggering competition of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] and [[Denmark]] for the area.<ref name="Inachim17"/> The conflict with Hungary also ended, with Bolesław recognizing Béla II's rule. The agreement was sealed with the betrothal of Bolesław's daughter [[Judith of Poland|Judith]] with Béla II's [[Géza II of Hungary|Géza]] (this marriage never took place). In the case of the Bohemian-Polish dispute the Imperial mediation failed. Bolesław argued he must be treated as a sovereign ruler, which wasn't the case of Soběslav I, an imperial vassal. Lothair III, unable to come to an agreement with the Polish ruler, proposed to discuss the matter in subsequent negotiations. The Congress ended with church ceremonies, during which Bolesław carried the imperial sword. This was an honor granted only to sovereign rulers.<ref name="Fabiańczyk, p. 70"/> An indirect goal of Polish diplomacy was the successful invalidation of the Papal Bull of 1133 and the recognition of metropolitan rights of the [[Archbishopric of Gniezno]] at the [[Council of Pisa (1135)|Synod of Pisa]] in 1135. On 7 July 1136, Pope Innocent II issued the protectionist Bull<ref>The authenticity of the only known copy of this Bull is disputed. According to K. Maleczyński this was a forgery made after 1139. He believes that the 7 July 1136 issued document for the Archbishopric of Gniezno indeed was only a privilege, as evidenced by not only by the names of the Cardinals signed there, but also by the fact that the Bull bears the stamp who originally belonged to Pope Innocent II. This document, however, later widened at the law firm of Gniezno new church property as collateral against greed lay people, hence the current text can even deviate significantly from the original 1136 text. K. Maleczyński: ''Bolesław III Krzywousty'', pp. 309–310, 311. Compare [with]: K. Maleczyński: ''W kwestii autentyczności bulli gnieźnieńskiej z r. 1136.'', reprint, [in:] K. Maleczyński: ''Studia nad dokumentem polskim'', pp. 170–188. The authenticity of the Bull, in turn, was defended by H. Łowmiański: ''Początki Polski: polityczne i społeczne procesy kształtowania się narodu do początku wieku XIV'', vol. VI, cap. 1, pp. 337–343; There is also a summary of the sources of the years 1937–1975.</ref> ''[[Bull of Gniezno|Ex commisso nobis a Deo]]''<ref>Ph.
