Salomea of Berg

Salomea of Berg (German: Salome von Berg, Polish: Salomea z Bergu, Salomea Bergska) (ca. 1093/1101 – 27 July 1144) was a German noblewoman and by marriage Duchess of Poland.

She was the daughter of Swabian Count Henry (c. 1077–1132) of Berg Castle (near Ehingen, not to be confused with the Rhenish House of Berg) by his wife Adelaide of Mochental (d. 1125/27), probably a sister of Margrave Diepold III of Vohburg. According to some sources, her paternal grandmother was Princess Sophia, only daughter of King Solomon of Hungary by his wife Judith of Swabia (by her second marriage stepmother of Salome's husband), but this hypothesis has been rejected by modern historiographers.

The marriage of Salome's sister Richeza with Duke Vladislav I of Bohemia in 1110 had changed the status of the relative obscure Count Henry of Berg in the political affairs. Another sister, Sophia, was married to a Moravian member of the Přemyslid dynasty, Duke Otto II the Black of Olomouc, in 1113.
