Salome, daughter of Prince Lesko V, was born in Krakow, Poland. She married Coloman of Hungary, later to be king of Halicz. By mutual pact, they lived in continence. After his death in 1241, Salome entered the Poor Clare convent in Zawichost, founded previously by herself and the first such foundation in Poland. She died in 1268, and her cult as Blessed was approved in 1673 by Clement X.
