- Constance of Greater Poland (1245/46 – 8 October 1281); married in 1260 Conrad, Margrave of Brandenburg-Stendal.
- Euphrosyne of Greater Poland (1247/50 – 17/19 February 1298), Abbess of St. Clara in Trzebnica.
- Anna of Greater Poland (1253 – aft. 26 June 1295), Abbess at Owińska.
- Euphemia of Greater Poland (1253 – 5 September 1298), twin of Anna; a nun at St. Clara, Wrocław.
- Przemysł II (b. posthumously, 14 October 1257 – 8 February 1296).
