Life
There is little information about George's life. After his father's death in 1312, he remain at the side of his elder brother Władysław, formally as his co-ruler. On 19 February 1327 in Opawa, George and his brothers Władysław and Siemowit paid homage to the Bohemian King John of Luxembourg. This is the last message about George as a living person; probably he died shortly after that date. He never married or had children, and the place of his burial is unknown.
