He said no, but instead offering as a mediator in the dispute. Despite the adoption of this proposal, Henry IV decided to divorce his wife. Although this move clearly was made against his alliance with the Opole Dukes, the apparent reason for the repudiation was the infertility of his wife, however this fact could be unfounded, because Henry IV's second marriage with Matilda of Brandenburg was also childless. The Dukes of Opole sent to the Pope two complaints requesting the reinstallation of their sister as Henry IV's wife. The waited response never come, certainly because the complaints were sent during the

No source directly specified her name, and therefore the historiography is divided about this fact and her correct identification in the Piast dynasty. Some historians share the view that she was Constance of Wodzisław, but the opponents of this idea argue that her name remains unknown. Also not gaining universal approval are the hypotheses arguing that Władysław of Opole's daughter was named either Margareta or Grzymisława. In the absence of proper sources who could clarify this matter, all the information and theories only created more difficulties in reconstructing her life.

This hypothesis has been challenged by historians. Is noted that the marriage of Henry IV with the daughter of Wladysław of Opole was invalid without a dispensation from the Pope because of a close affinity between husband and wife (the mother of Henry IV, Judith of Masovia, married with

Among the documents issued by Władysław of Opole and his sons, was found an act who provide support for all the plans of Henry IV. This document was issued after the marriage, because there Duke of Opole called Henry IV his son-in-law, and later in 1278, was added a clause that guarantees the obligations of the Duke of Opole with King Ottokar II of Bohemia, who fell on 26 August 1278 in the

into question the credibility of the complaints to the Pope, this document suggests the possibility that the marriage between Henry IV and the princess of Opole took place in Vienna in 1280. In 1281 or 1282, Władysław of Opole died. Since then, the relations of Henry IV with the sons of the deceased Duke were completely different. At that time, the disputes with his brothers-in-law, his efforts to obtain the royal crown and the apparent barrenness of his wife added further problems to Henry IV's political aspirations.

By contrast, the only reference about the repudiation of Henry IV's wife were two complaints sent to the Pope by two brothers, identified as Wladysław of Opole's sons; in both documents, are described the dismissal of their sister and the exile of the Bishop. Modern historians believed that the complaints are forgeries, based on the following considerations:

Jasinski, stating that the marriage of Henry with Matilda has been concluded at the end of 1287. Later (p. 47) he stated that the marriage took place before 11 January 1288, because by a document issued that day, Henry IV mentioned his wife there. The document didn't give her name, but there is no doubt that it was Matilda. M. Małecki,

In the second, brothers inform the Pope that their sister was taken in marriage at a very young age, when they themselves were still minors, and the idea of this marriage was from their father. Modern historiography almost universally accepted the hypothesis that the events described in the complaints are related to Henry IV Probus, Wladysław of Opole's sons and daughter and Bishop Thomas II.

He merely stated that marrying her husband in 1277 or 1278 (probably in the second half of 1277), she was about 10–12 years old, and died in 1351 aged over 84 years. In modern historiography, one encounters another date of birth given to her, about 1256, although without justification; J. Sperka,

Also, he not quoted or reject the hypothesis of the repudiation of his first wife, by Henry IV between 1282-1284.

The contents of both documents shows that the man who dismissed his wife, was the ruler of a foreign language, but both spouses came from the same diocese.
