Can someone help me and get Richiza in line?
1. Is her father Boleslav III. Crivusti, born 20. Aug.1086, died 28.
Oct. 1138 and mother Salome of Berg-Schelklingen,died 27. June 1144. I
also have Boleslav as king.
2. Is Richiza mother of Sophie of Halicz, married to Valdemar 1. the
Great of Denmark.

Thank you.
