'''Bolko II of Ziębice''' ({{langx|pl|'''Bolko II Ziębicki'''}}; 1 February 1300 – 11 June 1341) was a Duke of [[Jawor]]-[[Lwówek]]-[[Świdnica]]-[[Ziębice]] in [[Poland]] from 1301 to 1312 (with his brothers as co-rulers), of Świdnica-Ziębice from 1312 to 1322 (with his brother as co-ruler), and sole Duke of Ziębice from 1322 until his death.<br />
<br />
He was the fourth son of [[Bolko I the Strict]], Duke of [[Jawor]]-[[Lwówek]]-[[Świdnica]]-[[Ziębice]], by his wife [[Beatrice of Brandenburg|Beatrix]], daughter of [[Otto V, Margrave of Brandenburg-Salzwedel|Otto V the Long]], Margrave of [[Brandenburg]]-[[Salzwedel]]. He was named after his eldest brother Bolko, who died on 30 January 1300, just two days before his birth.<br />
<br />
==Life==<br />
At the time of his father's death in 1301, Bolko II was not quite two years old. Therefore, he and his siblings were placed under the care of their mother and the guardianship of their maternal uncle, [[Herman, Margrave of Brandenburg-Salzwedel]], until 1305, when the eldest living brother [[Bernard of Świdnica|Bernard]] assumed the government and the tutelage of his brothers. Out of fear that the [[duchy]] would be fragmented, Bolko II was initially destined for a career in the Church. Bolko II strongly resisted these plans, and in 1322 received the district of [[Ziębice]] as an independent duchy from Bernard.<br />
<br />
In 1322, Bolko II, alongside Bernard, took part with [[Teutonic Knights]] in the expedition against [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania|Lithuania]].<br />
<br />
On the threshold of his reign, Bolko II fell into conflict with the Church. The continued financial difficulties of the Duke lead him to invade and steal goods from the monasteries of [[Cistercian Monastery Complex in Henryków|Henryków]] and [[Kamieniec Ząbkowicki]]. In 1329, the Duke attacked the suite of the [[Papal legate]] Pietro di Alverni. This action motivated the intervention of the Kings of Poland and [[Bohemia]], with the support of almost all of the [[Duchy of Silesia|Silesian dukes]]. Defeated, Bolko II was [[excommunicated]] by the [[Bishop of Wrocław]], [[Nanker]]. The excommunication was only removed after Bolko II paid large sums to both the Papal legate and the monasteries as compensation.<br />
<br />
In 1335, the Duchy of Ziębice was attacked by [[Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles of Luxembourg]], [[Margrave]] of [[Moravia]] and heir of the Bohemian Kingdom, because Bolko II refused to pay homage for his duchy. It was the shortest route between [[Prague]] and the most important Silesian city, [[Wrocław]], at that time under the control of the Bohemian Kingdom. Charles ignored Bolko II's determination, and sent a small force against him. The Duke quickly defeated the force, capturing 150 of the major Bohemian knights, but he failed to halt the destruction of the Bohemian lands made by Charles's army. Bolko II was able to take advantage from the captivity of the Bohemian knights; however, he only asked a very small ransom for them. Bolko II won the 1335 war.<br />
<br />
However, in June 1336, Bolko II voluntary paid homage to the King of Bohemia. The withdrawal of the Silesian Dukes by King [[Casimir III the Great]] of Poland eliminated Bolko II's hope of building an effective power against the Bohemian Kingdom. Also, Bolko II received the [[Kłodzko Land]] during his lifetime. Bolko II's act of homage confirmed that, after the eventual extinction of the male line of the Dukes of Ziębice, the Duchy would fall under the direct rule of the King of Bohemia.<br />

Bolko II struggled with his continuing financial problems, increased by his prodigality. In 1337, he was forced to pledge [[Ząbkowice]] to Charles of Luxembourg, and shortly after, for the amount of 2,300 fines{{vague|date=October 2010}} he pledged [[Strzelin]] and [[Kąty Wrocławskie]]. At the end, Bolko II only retained the capital of the Duchy, Ziębice. Despite this, Bolko II cared about the economic development of his estate, which enjoyed a relatively high popularity among the Silesian cities.<br />
<br />
Bolko II died on 11 June 1341 in Ziębice, and was buried in the [[Cistercian Monastery Complex in Henryków|Henryków]].<br />
<br />
==Marriage and issue==<br />
By 21 November 1321, Bolko II married Bonne de Savoie (also named ''Guta'' or ''Judith''), daughter (either legitimate){{Citation needed|date=June 2023}} or illegitimate{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}<br />
of [[Louis II of Vaud|Louis II of Savoy]], Baron of [[Vaud]]. Bonne was the widow of Matthew IV Csák, a Hungarian nobleman (son of the infamous oligarch [[Matthew III Csák]]) and also mother of two sons, Matthew V and James. Bolko II and Guta had two children:<br />
#[[Nicholas the Small]] (b. c. 1327 – d. 23 April 1358).<br />
#Margareta (b. c. 1330 – d. August aft. 1368), a nun in [[Strzelin]].<br />
