Nicholas V, Duke of Krnov

Nicholas V, Duke of Krnov was a member of the Přemyslid dynasty. He was Duke of Racibórz, Krnov, Bruntál and Rybnik. All these duchies were situated in Silesia, then part of the Crown of Bohemia.

Marriage and issue
In 1435, Nicholas V married Margaret Clemm of Ellguth. They had three children: • John IV "the Elder" (d. 1483). • Wenceslaus III (d. 1479). • Barbara (d. 1510), married in 1475 to Duke Jan IV of Oświęcim (d. 1495/1497). In 1451 in Kraków, Nicholas V married his second wife. She was Barbara Rockemberg (d. 1464) from a patrician family in Kraków. They had two children: • Nicholas (died in infancy). • Machna (d. 1508), married in 1482 to Duke Casimir II of Zator. Since her stepsons John IV and Wenceslaus II were minors when Nicholas V died in 1452, Barbara was regent of Racibórz, Krnov, Bruntál and Rybnik from 1452 until 1462. She was also Lady of Pless, which was probably her jointure. == Notes ==
