Such a significant endowment was a manifestation of the Masovian duke’s power. In order to better present the context of these endowments, the political situation at that time has been explained (including, among other things, the new feudatory arrangement between Siemowit III and Kazimierz III the Great, concluded on 27 December 1355 in Kalisz) and the locations of the monasteries—each in a different diocese. If we look for the reasons why the Eremite Friars of the Order of St Augustine were chosen, we see that attention was paid to Siemowit III’s family connections. Until now, the role of the duke’s wife—Euphemia of the Opava branch of the Bohemian noble Přemyslid family—has been emphasized, because the Order was very popular in Bohemia, which also included Silesian Opava. In addition, a connection with Siemowit III’s brother-in-law, Kazimierz I of Teschen (Polish: Cieszyn, Bohemian: Těšín) husband of Euphemia, daughter of Trojden I, has been mentioned. The Duke of Teschen was one of the witnesses to the founding document of the Augustine church and monastery in Wrocław (German: Breslau) in 1351. Charles IV founded the church of the Eremite Friars of the Order of St Augustine after a failed meeting with Kazimierz III the Great, Jarosław of Bogoria and Bolko II, and the foundation itself was also a manifestation of the power of the Bohemian king. On the other hand the privilege of indulgences was granted more or less two years after the death of Kazimierz III the Great, when Siemowit III was no longer bound to Poland under a feudatory obligation. The article shows the links between Siemowit III’s policies and subsequent documents relating to the monasteries of the Eremite Friars of the Order of St Augustine in Masovia.
