Summary/Abstract: The person of Ryksa, the only child of a Polish king Przemysł the Second, has caught the attention of the historians for years. Still, though, some moments of her extremely interesting life, bring about interpretation difficulties. Presenting life and activity of a princess from Wielkopolska, the author makes an attempt to answer a series of questions concerning her marriage with a Czech Wacław the Second and his acceptance of the Polish Crown, as well as her life as Elżbieta in the Czech Republic later on (she is known there under the very name). Hypotheses and facts related to her earlier marriage plans and next relationships after an early death of Wacław the Second (d. 1305) are introduced.
