From Wikipedia:
"During his fight against his half-brother Zbigniew, the Junior Duke of Poland, Boleslaw III Wrymouth, allied himself with Kievan Rus' and Hungary. In order to seal his alliance with the Grand Prince of Kiev, Boleslaw III was betrothed to his eldest daughter Zbyslava. The Primary Chronicle names Zbyslava, daughter of Svyatopolk when recording that she was taken to Poland on 16 November 1102 to marry Boleslaw III. Thus, the marriage took place between that date or in early 1103. They had only one known son, the future Wladyslaw II the Exile, born in 1105, and a daughter (perhaps named Judith), born around 1111 and later wife of Vsevolod Davidovich, Prince of Murom.
"Her date of death is uncertain. Sources place Zbyslava's death between the years 1109 and 1112. She most likely died by 1114 at the latest, as one year later (in 1115), Boleslaw III married Salomea, daughter of Henry, Count of Berg-Schelklingen."Family/Spouse: Boleslaw III "Wrymouth", King of Poland. Boleslaw (son of Wladyslaw I Herman, Duke of Poland and Judith Premyslid, Princess of Bohemia) was born on 20 Aug 1085; died on 28 Oct 1138. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Sophie, wife of King Valdemar I of Denmark, is definitely known to have been a daughter of Richiza, herself a daughter of Boleslaw III of Poland. But the identity of Sophie's father has been much fought over. R. Bruce Diebold's 2022 article, cited below, makes a strong case that Sophie's father was in fact Volodar of Minsk, just as reported by many of the very earliest sources.
Richiza of Poland was married to her third husband, King Sverker I of Sweden, by about 1150; it is supposed by Diebold and others that Volodar and Richiza divorced before then, since Volodar was still alive in 1167 (and, according to some sources, as late as 1178).Family/Spouse: Richiza of Poland. Richiza (daughter of Boleslaw III "Wrymouth", King of Poland and Salome von Berg-Schelklingen) was born on 12 Apr 1116; died after 25 Dec 1155. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
