In 1093 he was brought to Poland by powerful lords opposed to Władysław Herman's all-powerful '' Wojewoda '' Sieciech . In 1098 Zbigniew and his younger brother Bolesław Wrymouth prevailed on their father to banish Sieciech and give them separate provinces. In 1102 – 1106 Zbigniew was high duke of Poland. In 1107 Zbigniew was chased from the country by his half-brother Bolesław III Wrymouth , and he sought help from Holy Roman Emperor Henry V . In 1109 Zbigniew joined the Emperor's campaign against Poland, which ended in Bolesław's victory at the Battle Of Hundsfeld . In 1112 Zbigniew was lured back to Poland, where Bolesław had him blinded. Soon after, Zbigniew died. SEE ALSO |
