"During Wrocław's early history, its control changed hands between Bohemia (till 992 and then 1038-1054), the
Kingdom of Poland (992-1038 and 1054-1202), and, after the
fragmentation of the Kingdom of Poland, the
Piast ruled
duchy of Silesia. One of the most important events in those times was the foundation of the
Diocese of Wrocław by the Polish Duke (from 1025 king)
Bolesław the Brave in
1000, which, together with the
Bishoprics of
Kraków and
Kołobrzeg, was placed under the
Archbishopric of Gniezno in
Greater Poland, founded by
Otto III in 1000. In the first half of the
thirteenth century Wrocław even became the
political center of the divided
Polish kingdom"
