Summary/Abstract: The author seeks to develop an understanding how Polish historians perceived the presence of the Luxembourgs in Silesia and to follow the evolution of this perception. The incorporation of Silesiainto the Lands of the Crown of Bohemia in the 14th century aroused a lively interest in historians.An outline of historiographic views shows the dependence of the researchers on time and place inwhich their evaluation was made. The authors often mounted arguments in an emotive unscholarlyfashion. At present, however, there is a rational and balanced approach to this theme among the Polish researchers.
