Years: 1103 - 1103
Zbigniew, by aligning himself with Boleslaw’s southern neighbor, wishes to compel Boleslaw to cease his raids into Pomerania.
Boleslaw, on the other hand, allies himself with Kievan Rus and Hungary.
His marriage to Zbyslava, the daughter of Sviatopolk II Iziaslavich in around 1103, is to seal the alliance between himself and the prince of Kiev.
However, Boleslaw's first diplomatic move had been to recognize Pope Paschal II, which had put him in strong opposition to the Holy Roman Empire.
A later visit of papal legate Gwalo, Bishop of Beauvais, brings the church matters into order, it also increases Boleslaw's influence.
