Margareta of Toszek

Life

She was the only child of Duke Przemysław of Toszek and Margareta, daughter of Duke Nicholas I of Opole, and thereby a member of the House of Piast in the Oświęcim branch. Around 1481 or 1482 Margareta became a nun in the monastery of St. Klara in Wrocław. In February 1508 she was elected Abbess. Margareta held this post until 3 February 1515; however, six months later, on 27 August 1515, she was elected again as Abbess, this time until her death. She was buried in the Piast Mausoleum of St. Klara in Wrocław.
