Description
The portrait was originally accompanied by the inscription: 'Abbas percelebris contractu Trudwiniano / In Sorau parochoc non cupit esse suos. / Allodia Eckersdorf, Grabig, Kalkreuthe Caprumque / Et magnam Boberae comparat ipse molam". Praise to Trudwin for the agreement (concluded by the abbot with the authorities of Żagań in 1333). The parish priest of Żary was not subordinate to him. He purchased Bożnów, Karczówka, Stara Kopernia (near Żagań) Grabik (near Żary), and a mill on the Bóbr River.
