Salomea of Poland was a 13th-century princess and queen of Galicia who later dedicated her life to religious service. Born in Kraków around 1211 to Duke Leszek I the White, she married King Coloman of Galicia in 1215 as a child to strengthen political ties. Following the death of her husband in 1241, she entered the Order of Poor Ladies. She eventually established a monastery in Zawichost before moving her community to Skała to escape the Mongol invasion.
