Przecław of Pogorzela was born in 1310 into a noble family in the Duchy of Brześc.[2] By April 1329 he was Canon of Wrocław. In 1336 he visited Bologna to study. On 5 May 1341, he was elected Bishop of Wrocław, but due to the opposition of the Archbishop of Gniezno, Janisław, he had to personally go to Avignon for Papal approval, which was confirmed on 28 January 1342.
He died on the night of 5-6 April 1376 in Otmuchów,[2] and was buried in the chapel of St. Mary's Church, Wrocław Cathedral, in a marble sarcophagus. His time has been considered a "golden age" of the bishopric of Wrocław.
