Wenceslaus I, Duke of Cieszyn
- Wenceslaus I, Duke of Cieszyn
Wacław I ( _cs. Václav I., _de. Wenzel I.) (1413 - 1474) was the Duke of Cieszyn. He was the oldest son of Bolesław I, fourth Duke of Cieszyn and Eufemia.
After the death of his father in 1431, Wacław I ruled over the duchy together with his brothers and mother. After the division of father's possessions in 1442 he ruled in Bytom and Siewierz, he also received some parts of Cieszyn land. However he soon sold Duchy of Siewierz to Zbigniew Oleśnicki, bishop of Kraków. In 1452 he swapped Bytom for Bielsko with his brother Bolesław II.
On 17 February 1439 Wacław I married Elisabeth, daughter of Frederick I, elector of Brandenburg. However they broke up in 1445-1446 for undisclosed reasons. Wacław I was childless and died in Bielsko in 1474. He is buried in the Dominican church in Cieszyn.
