Venzlav was the king of Brugge during the 13th century, who was often criticized for his apparent leniency towards the dryads of Brokilon.[1]
Biography
Early Deeds
At one point after Roegner of Ebbing's death, he proposed to Calanthe, but she turned him down.
Sometime in 1262, he sent Geralt to Brokilon to deliver a message to their queen, Eithné, asking her to give the king Brokilon and in return he'd give her and the dryads a small corner of the forest. However, she turned this down.
Northern Wars
During the First Northern War in 1263, after Calanthe's suicide when Cintra fell to Nilfgaard, Venzlav surrendered his region and became a vassal state of Temeria, knowing he needed their protection with the invaders across the Yaruga from Brugge.[2]
After the beginning of the Second Northern War in July 1267, Venzlav received the bard Dandelion in his court, and gifted him a royal escort of personal guards to the borders of Brokilon.[1]
Venzlav was one of the Northern monarchs to attend the peace talks being held in Cintra in 1268, between the Northern Kingdoms and the Empire of Nilfgaard. The talks resulted in the signing of a peace treaty called the Peace of Cintra, which brought an end to the Second Northern War.
