Abstracts

EN
The following article returns to the difficulties in identifying the Duke of Opole, the culprit in the attack on a student from Prague, Henryk Stange. To this end, the article refers to an article by Robert T. Tomczak, agreeing with the suggestion that there exists no sufficient evidence that Bolko V obtained a bachelor degree at the university in Prague. However, the article disagrees with the further claims made in Tomczak’s article, who argues that the culprit in the attack could be, in fact, Bolko IV, Duke of Opole. To support this dissent, the article proves that, contrary to Tomczak’s claims, the oldest son of Bolko IV was also identified in foreign sources as the Duke of Opole, even after he was given his own province (Głogówek). Moreover, the emphasis on the young age of Bolko V, which supposedly rules him out as a suspect, appears to be misleading. In addition, the author doubts the correctness of identifying the rambunctious duke as Bolko IV, considering the political situation at that time as well as later historical records. The author also points to the similarities between the description of Bolko V in the Annales Glogovienses - concerning multiple instances of reproof which ended with excommunication - and the actual excommunication of Bolko V’s father in the beginning of the 15th century.

Im vorliegenden Artikel wird auf das Problem der Identifizierung des Herzogs von Op‑ peln, des Täters des Überfalls auf den Prager Studenten Heinrich Stange zurückgegriffen. Man bezieht sich auf den kürzlich erschienenen Artikel von Robert T. Tomczak und seine Bemer‑ kungen zum Mangel an überzeugenden Beweisen dafür, dass Bolko V. den Grad des Bakkalau‑ reus an der Prager Universität erworben hatte, werden für richtig gehalten. Als nichtüberzeu‑ gend werden die weiteren Thesen des Forschers angesehen, laut denen der wegen Überfalls auf den Prager Scholar verurteilte Herzog von Oppeln mit Bolko IV. gleichgesetzt wird. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass der älteste Sohn dieses Piasten entgegen den Behauptungen dieses Historikers - in fremden Quellen - auch den Herzog von Oppeln genannt wurde, sogar dann, als er seinen eigenen Bezirk mit Oberglogau bekommen hat. Auch die Tatsache, dass man auf das junge Alter von Bolko V., das ihn angeblich aus dem Kreis von Verdächtigen wegen Überfalls ausschließt, verweist, scheint ganz verfehlt zu sein. Die Gleichsetzung des streitsüch‑ tigen Herzogs mit Bolko IV. wird zugleich für unwahrscheinlich gehalten, wenn man seine da‑ malige politische Situation und die weitere Geschichte berücksichtigt. Das Augenmerk richtet sich auch auf die Ähnlichkeit zwischen einem Teil der Beschreibung von Bolko V. in Annales Glogovienses - die die wiederholte Mahnung, die zum Kirchenbann führte, betrifft - und dem tatsächlichen Kirchenbann des Vaters von Wołoszek zu Beginn des 15. Jahrhunderts.
