Notes

Note 1

Her parentage is disputed among historians and sources. Among the possible origins for Hedwig include:

▪ Descendance from the Pomerelian Samborides lineage of the Dukes of Pomerania. i.e. the daughter of Mestwin I, Duke of Pomerania. This theory is the most accepted among historiography and web sources.

▪ Descendance from the Bohemian Přemyslid dynasty.

▪ Descendance from the German House of Andechs. This origin is supported by the fact that she is called cousin of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, Poppo von Osterna.
