Elisabeth of Wrocław (Polish:Elżbieta wrocławska) (c. 1232 – 16 January 1265), also known asElisabeth of Poland, was a daughter ofHenry II the Pious and his wife,Anna of Bohemia. She was a member of theHouse of Piast and wasDuchess consort of Greater Poland bymarriage.

Elisabeth was the seventh of ten children born to her parents. Her siblings included:Bolesław II the Bald,Mieszko, Duke of Lubusz,Henry III the White,Konrad I, Duke of Silesia-Glogau,Ladislaus of Salzburg, Gertrude, Duchess ofMasovia and Constance, Duchess of Kujavia.

Elisabeth's maternal grandparents wereOttokar I of Bohemia and his second wife,Constance of Hungary. Constance was daughter ofBéla III of Hungary and his first wife,Agnes of Antioch. Elisabeth's paternal grandparents wereHenry I the Bearded and his wife,Hedwig of Andechs (later canonized a saint in theRoman Catholic Church).

Elisabeth spent her childhood inSanctuary of St. Jadwiga in Trzebnica where she would have lived with her paternal grandmother Hedwig, who would have been a big influence to her granddaughter. It is not certain whether there was pressure for Elisabeth to join themonastery. Elisabeth remained at Trzebnica until she was kidnapped^[1] by her brotherBolesław II the Bald because her family wanted her to marryPrzemysł I of Greater Poland.

The marriage was for political reasons like most royal marriages of the time. Przemysł wanted to regain some of his father's lost lands inSilesia. The marriage helped the reincorporation ofKalisz into GreaterPoland.

Little is known about the rule of Elisabeth as Duchess consort of her husband's lands. In 1250 she founded amonastery inOwińska. Some nuns were brought to it from her childhood home ofTrzebnica.

Elisabeth and Przemysł had five children:

1. Constance of Greater Poland (1245/46 – 8 October 1281); married in 1260Conrad, Margrave of Brandenburg-Stendal.
2. Euphrosyne of Greater Poland (1247/50 – 17/19 February 1298), Abbess of St. Clara inTrzebnica.
3. Anna of Greater Poland (1253 – aft. 26 June 1295), Abbess atOwińska.
4. Euphemia of Greater Poland (1253 – 5 September 1298), twin of Anna; a nun at St. Clara,Wrocław.
5. Przemysł II (b. posthumously, 14 October 1257 – 8 February 1296).

When Elisabeth's husband died on 4 June 1257, he left Elisabeth herdower,^[2][3] in which was an estate inModrze. Elisabeth died on her estate on 16 January 1265^[4] and was buried in the Poznań cathedral.

Elisabeth's granddaughter from her son wasElisabeth Richeza of Poland who became the second wife ofWenceslaus II of Bohemia.
