Biography
Representative of the Legnica line of the Silesian Piast . The only son of Johann I (1425-1453), Prince Khoynuvsky (1441-1453), Lyubinsky (1441-1446) and Brzegsky (1443-1450), and Jadwigi Legnitzky (c. 1433-1471).
After the death of his uncle Henry X (in 1452 ) and his father (in 1453 ), Frederick I became the only male representative of the Legnica - Brzeg line of the Silesian Piast dynasty. After the death of his father, seven-year-old Frederick inherited Chojnów and Strzelin under the regency of his mother, widowed princess Jadwiga. In 1454, after the death of his paternal grandmother, Margarita Opole , Friedrich took possession of Olawa and Nemcha . In the same 1454, Prince Frederick I received the Legnica principality , formerly part of the Czech kingdom. The regency of the widowed princess Jadwiga ended in 1466 , when Frederick I was officially proclaimed an adult and began to rule independently. During his reign, he focused on strengthening his dynasty and the return of all lands lost by his predecessors.
