Barbara Rockemberg

From this short-lived[7] second union, Barbara had one known daughter, Anna Orientówna, who married firstly the citizen Jan Stancz[8] and secondly with the noblemen from Bronocice Jakub Obulc (Obulcz), member of the Odrowąż family and cupbearer of Kraków.

The Přemyslid Dukes of Racibórz mainly married with members from the Czech and Polish nobility;[10] presumably, the reason of Nicholas V for this wedding was the wealth who Barbara inherited from her two previous husbands, who could improve his Ducal treasury.

[11] This union, who lasted almost two years, produced two children in quick succession: a son, Nicholas (who died in infancy and was buried at Wawel Cathedral) and a daughter, Margareta (also known as Machna), wife of Duke Casimir II of Zator.

[11] In the same year, her brother-in-law Wenceslaus II attempted to take by force her domains, and send troops to Pszczyna; however, his early death in 1456 allowed Barbara not only to regain the full control over her lands but also obtained the regency of the Duchy on behalf of her stepsons.

[14] In 1462 Barbara was expelled from her domains by her stepson John IV,[11] who with the help of knights disguised as women entered and captured the main city of Pszczyna, forcing the Duchess to escape, leaving behind her brother Hieronim, who was arrested.
