'''John I, Duke of Lüben''' (1425 – after 21 November 1453), was a ruler of [[Lubin|Lüben]] (Lubin) during 1441–1446 with his brother, as co-rulers, [[Chojnów|Haynau]] (Chojnów) since 1452, [[Brzeg|Brieg]] (Brzeg) and [[Złotoryja|Goldberg]] (Złotoryja) during 1449–1450 with his brother, as co-rulers.

He was the eldest son of [[Louis III of Oława|Louis III]], Duke of Ohlau-Lüben-Haynau, by his wife [[Margareta of Opole|Margaret]], daughter of Duke [[Bolko IV of Opole|Bolko IV of Oppeln]].

==Life==
After the death of his father in 1441, John I and his younger brother Henry X inherited the Duchies of Lüben and Haynau as co-rulers. Their mother, the Dowager Duchess Margareta, received the Duchy of Ohlau as a widow's land. In 1446, the difficult financial situation forced John I and Henry X to pledged Lüben to Duke [[Henry IX the Older|Henry IX of Glogau]].

The death of [[Elisabeth of Brandenburg, Duchess of Brzeg-Legnica and Cieszyn|Elisabeth of Brandenburg]], Dowager Duchess of Brieg-Liegnitz in 1449 left in jeopardy the future of the Duchy of Liegnitz. John I and Henry X were the legitimate heirs of that land, as grandsons of Duke [[Henry IX of Lüben]], elder brother of Duke [[Louis II of Brieg|Louis II]], Elisabeth's late husband, who left her Liegnitz and Brieg (already give by the Dowager Duchess to both brothers in 1443) in 1436; in addition, John I had another claim over Liegnitz through his marriage with Hedwig, youngest daughter of Louis II and Elisabeth. However, the brothers never took possession over the Duchy: shortly after Elisabeth's death, the local nobility rebelled against the Piast government and sought the help of [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Sigismund]], who placed Liegnitz under the direct sovereignty of the [[Kingdom of Bohemia]]. One year later (1450) the still hard financial situation forced them to pledged Brieg to their maternal uncle, Duke [[Nicholas I of Opole|Nicholas I of Oppeln]].

In 1452 Henry X died without issue, leave John I as the sole ruler over Haynau; however, he died only eighteen months later.

==Marriage and issue==
In February 1445 John I married Hedwig (b. ca. 1433 – d. 21 October 1471), daughter of Duke [[Louis II of Brieg]]. They had one son:
#[[Frederick I of Legnica|Frederick I]] (b. Brieg, 3 May 1446 – d. Liegnitz, 9 May 1488).
