Boleslaus, son of Děpolt

Boleslaus, son of Děpolt (Czech: Boleslav Děpoltic, Polish: Bolesław Dypoldowic; c. 1190 – April 9, 1241), allegedly nicknamed Szepiołka[1] ("Lisper" in Polish), was an exiled member of the Děpolt family [cs] (a cadet branch of the Přemyslid dynasty) who with his brothers (Děpolt IV Bořivoj, Sobeslaus I, and Otto of Magdeburg) and mother Adelaide lived for most of his life in Silesia, at court of Wrocław dukes Henry the Bearded and Henry II the Pious.

Moreover, Boleslaus – just like his brothers – styled himself as Dux Boemiae ("Duke of Bohemia") because until the end of his days he didn't give up a claim to govern in the Bohemian Kingdom.

He died in chivalric manner, during a lost battle with Mongol hordes which invaded the Central Europe.

For the second time he was exiled in 1223 by the same king,[2] after a futile and lost attempt by his father Děpolt III to obtain the royal throne in Prague.

Brothers Bořivoj, Sobeslaus and Boleslaus left the country with their respective druzhinas (armed retinues, companions).
