==Marriages and issue== [[File:Codex aureus pultoviensis (69702045).jpg|thumb|right|''Codex aureus pultoviensis'', an 11th-century [[codex]] which belonged to Władysław Herman's wife and consort, [[Judith of Bohemia|Judith]]. It is held at the Czartoryski Library in [[Kraków]].]] Before Władysław became duke of Poland, probably during the 1070s, he had a relationship with a woman named Przecława, whose exact origins are unknown, although some sources stated that she belonged to the [[Prawdzic coat of arms|Prawdzic clan]].<ref>Kazimierz Jasiński, Rodowód pierwszych Piastów, Wrocław – Warszaw (1992).</ref> Her status is also a matter of dispute among the historians: some believed that she was only Władysław's mistress and others asserted that she was his wife, but this union was performed under pagan rituals and in consequence not recognized by the Church as a valid marriage. By 1080, one year after Władysław ascended to the Polish throne, Przecława either died or was sent away; it is believed by some sources that after she was dismissed by Władysław, Przecława took the veil under the name Christina ({{langx|pl|Krystyna}}) and died around 1092.<ref>[http://www.wladcy.myslenice.net.pl/Polska/opisy/Krystyna.htm Krystyna Przecława Prawdzic]</ref> This union produced a son, [[Zbigniew of Poland|Zbigniew]] (b. c. 1070/73 – d. c. 1112/14), who was considered illegitimate. In 1080, Władysław married [[Judith of Bohemia|Judith]] ({{circa}} 1056 – 1086),{{sfn|Davies|1982|p=65}} daughter of [[Vratislaus II of Bohemia]]. They had a son, [[Bolesław Wrymouth]] (1086 – 1138).{{sfn|Davies|1982|p=65}} In 1089 Władysław married [[Judith of Swabia|Judith]] (1054 – 1105),{{sfn|Davies|1982|p=65}} daughter of [[Emperor Henry III]] and widow of King [[Solomon of Hungary]]. Their daughters were: #Sophia (b. c. 1089 – d. bef. 12 May 1112), married before 1108 to [[Iaroslav Sviatopolkovich]],{{efn|Norman Davies states only a daughter of Wladyslaw married Iaroslav and gives no specific name.{{sfn|Davies|1982|p=65}}}}{{sfn|Davies|1982|p=65}} [[Principality of Volhynia|Prince of Volhynia]], son of [[Sviatopolk II of Kiev]]. #[[Agnes I, Abbess of Quedlinburg|Agnes]] (b. c. 1090 – d. 29 December 1127), [[abbess of Quedlinburg]] (1110) and [[Gandersheim Abbey|Gandersheim]] (1111). #Adelaide (b. c. 1091 – d. 25/26 March 1127), married before 1118 to Margrave [[Diepold III of Vohburg]]{{sfn|Davies|1982|p=65}} #A daughter (b. c. 1092 – d. bef. 1111), married c. 1111 to a Polish lord.
