Tomb of Anna, Duchess of Teck,
. daughter of Casimir the Great,
in the parish church in Mindelheim.

In the Swabian corner of Bavaria, north of the Tyrolean Alps. on a plain criss-crossed by the Mindel river, lies the town of Mindelheim.Above it, on a high hill, towers theabove it, on a high hill, towers the deserted castle of Mindelburg, home of the former lords of this town. The origins of Mindelheim go back to the original inhabitants of this land, the Windeliks.subjugated by the Romans, who founded a colony in their country under the name:Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg).
On the hill, which the Mindela river separates from the town called Rostro-nemice by the Vindelicans, the Rzyans founded a castle, the remains of which were preserved in the castle.Rzyanians founded a castle, the remains of which, made of square stones, support today's Mindelburg Castle.
At the time of the decline of the Roman state, this land was invaded in turn by the Goths and the Hunns. After the defeat of
After the defeat of the Goths by Otto I, the German emperor, the area was ruled by the Swabian dukes until 1212. Swabian dukes, until 1269, when Konradin, the last of their line, died. The neighbouring knights, the Counts of Mindelheim, then captured the town of Mindelheim.In 1363 the last of this house sold it to the Lords von Hohenschlitz.one of whom was Bishop of Augsburg and donated his property to the Augsburg chapter.
However, this was prevented by Duke Friedrich von Teck(from the house of the Dukes of Zahringen, ruling today in the V.Duke of Baden).He held Mindelheim in pledge, and having moved here to live from his family's Teck Castle in the Württemberg region, he reigned until 1389, in which year he ended his life.He was succeeded by his two sons Friedrich II and Ulrich II and Ulrych, and after the death of Friedrich II in 1413, Ulrych alone ruled alone.After the death of Friedrich II in 1413, Ulrich reigned alone until 1432.
Ulrych was married to the daughter of Kaiser the Great, king of Poland.In order to explain these relations, we need to go back to the middle of the 14th century. Kai¼rz the Great, having left his second wife Adelaide Duchess of Hess, who led a lonely life in the Żarnowiec castle.and having no male offspring, decided to take new marriage vows, although from the previous onesHe decided to take new marriage vows, although the Apostolic See refused to release him from his former vows. Henry, Duke of Żegań and Głogów, did not refuse the King thethe hand of his daughter Jadwiga, born of the Archduchess of Rákez, Catherine.The wedding celebrations took place in Kraków in 1357.The wedding ceremony took place in Kraków in 1357. The ceremony did not take place in Krakow in 1357, without the slander of Kaźmier for forgery of the papal dispensation for this marriage, in which, however, Pope Urban V himself justified the Polish king.
Two daughters born of this marriage, Anna and Jadwiga, were minors in 1370, when their father married them.1370, when their father died; the older one was barely twelve years old.In his will, Kaiser the Great bequeathed to them all the household goods, clothes, fabrics of rare origin. clothes, fabrics of rare beauty, shining with purple, pearls and precious stones, all bowls of gold, nevertheless half of the vessels, valuables and jewels of silver and jewels of silver; the other half to his wife Jadwiga.
Kaiser's successor, his nephew Ludwig, King of Hungary, came to Cracow with his mother, King of Hungary. to Cracow with his mother, Queen Elżbieta Łokietkówna.She, by royal order and in accordance with the decree of his brother KacióŸrz, distributed the treasure left after him among the royal daughters. the treasure left after him between the royal daughters and King Kozmir's widow.Jadwiga, having collected her share, estimated at 333 fine silver and 1000 fine of silver and 1000 fine of broad groschen, she returned home and married RupertRupert, Duke of Lignitz; and Queen Elisabeth took her daughters to Hungary, so that they woulddaughters were taken by Queen Elisabeth to Hungary, so that in time they would marry some powerful princes and not be tempted to claim their father's throne.In addition, King Louis established a court in their case, which declared that they werethat they were illegitimate children, he deprived them of their paternal inheritance and the right to the crown.
However, in the following year, 1371, Pope Gregory XI, at the request of King Louis the same King Louis and by the memory of the pious relations of the deceasedby separate dispensations, restored the legitimacy of birth to the orphans of Kaiserthe legitimacy of their birth, with the only exception of hereditary rights to the Polish crown.The eldest, Anna, was married to Wilhelm, Count of Cilicia. probably before 1380, as in that year Queen Elżbieta ŁokietkówkaElżbieta Łokietkówna, writing her will, bequeaths a wreath to the daughter of the of the Polish king Kaźmier the deceased, i.e. the still unmarried Jadwiga.
At that time, the house of the Cilician counts was not yet notorious for the later crimes of members of the The relationship cannot therefore be seen as the result of malicious intent on the part of Louis and Elizabeth.The marriage of Queen Anne to William, Count of Cilicia, who died in 1392, was not very long. 1392. Shortly afterwards, Anne remarried to Ulric, Duke of Teck. Ulrich Duke of Teck, lord of Mindelheim, but the daughter of theonly daughter Anna of Cilicia had to leave her in Cilicia, in the care of her first husband's cousin Ilerman II, Count of Cilicia.
There the Polish deputies came for her in 1400. asking for her hand in marriage to their king Wladyslaw Jagiello.Jagiełło, having lost his wife Jadwiga of Hungary, the heiress of the of the Polish crown, sought to strengthen his own rightsto this crown in marriage with the granddaughter of Kaiser the Great, and the daughter of the barely eligible royal Anne.
When Anna the Cilician arrived in Cracow (16 November 1400), her mother, the royal Anna. Duchess of Teck, reigned in Mindelheim and was renowned for her piety and charity.In the parish church of Mindelheim, together with her husband, she founded a prebend under the title of St. Paul, and many jewels.In the parish church of Mindelheim, together with her husband, she founded a prebend under the title of St. Paul, and many jewels and a chasubleShe also donated many jewels and a pearl chasuble to this church.She herself built the chapel of St. Sylvester and endowed it with funds.In the archives of Mindelheim, the following German privilege has been preserved The city archives in Mindelheim still hold a German parchment privilege from 1405, for the foundation of a morning mass in the chapel of St. Sylvester.This privilege was granted in 1405.The intitulation of this privilege reads as follows in Polish:We the Prince Ulrich von Teck and We the Lady Anna his weddedspouse, King Kaiser the late King of Poland, wedded daughter it.d.
In the year 1402 King Wladyslaw Jagiello designated the coronation of his wife AnnaCilician, for the Sunday called Quinquagesima, which in that year fell on the 5th of February.The king invited his wife's mother, Princess Anna of Teck, to this ceremony.She came to Krakow, after an absence of 32 years at a ripe old age. having left her home town after the death of her father, as a twelve-year-old girl.She had the consolation of seeing her daughter on the throne where her mother had once sat. and King Ladislaus honoured her with splendid gifts when she departed for her own country.

Anna, the Polish princess of Teck, outlived her daughterby nine years, for she died on 11 June 1425.In the parish church of Mindelheim, her tombstone, transferred from the her tombstone has been preserved in the Mindelheim parish church.1816.

And in smaller letters on the edge:
