Gryfina, orAgrippina (c. 1248 – between 1305 and 1309) was a Princess ofKraków by her marriage toLeszek II the Black in 1265; she later became anun andabbess.^[1]

Gryfina was the daughter ofRostislav Mikhailovich (1225–1262), Prince of Halych, and his wifeAnna of Hungary (1226–c. 1270), daughter ofBéla IV of Hungary.^[1] After losing the throne of Halych, Rostislav fled to Hungary and was received at the court of his father-in-law,King Béla IV. Rostislav was later granted the administration ofSlavonia, one of the most important regions of theHungarian Medieval Kingdom. Gryfina was born in Hungary, where she was raised with her sisters. One of her sisters wasKunigunda, who marriedOttakar II of Bohemia and was the mother ofWenceslaus II of Bohemia.^[2]

In 1265, at the age of seventeen, Gryfina was married to Leszek, son ofCasimir I of Kuyavia.^[3] The wedding was organized byBolesław V the Chaste. Between 1271 and 1274 the spouses separated, Gryfina having publicly accused her husband of impotency. Leszek sought treatment, but the marriage remained childless. After four years, Bolesław V forced a reconciliation between the spouses.

During the revolt against her husband in 1285, Gryfina took refuge inWawel under the care of the citizens. During the thirdTatar raid of 1287 she escaped with her husband to Hungary, where many of her family members lived.

After the death of her husband in 1288, Gryfina's nephew Wenceslaus II of Bohemia claimed Poland on the basis of his aunt's marriage. Gryfina retired to the monastery of the Poor Clares inStary Sącz. The prioress there was her mother's sister,Kinga, the widow of Bolesław V the Chaste. After Kinga's death, Gryfina became abbess.

In 1300, she visitedBohemia and cared forElisabeth Richeza of Poland, daughter ofPrzemysł II and fiancee of her nephew Wenceslaus since the death of his first wifeJudith of Habsburg. Gryfina died between 1305 and 1309, most likely in 1309. She is buried in theConvent of St. Agnes inPrague.
