Summary/Abstract: The genre of the medieval written biography is an understudied area of research, although a broader understanding of the concept of biographical fiction makes it possible to identify biographical features in a large proportion of late antique and mediaeval writings. The article presents a literary and cultural comparative analysis of biographical narratives about selected married couples (Dobrawa and Mieszko I, Emnilda and Bolesław Chrobry, Rycheza of Lorraine and Mieszko II) in the chronicles of Thietmar of Merseburg and mediaeval Polish chronicle works. The author seeks to answer the question of the existence of (non-)parallel biographical narratives and possible reasons for it.
