Jaksa Gryfita

Jaksa Gryfita, Jaksa z Miechowa or Jaxa Gryfita (1120–1176) of the Gryfici family was a medieval możnowładca (magnate) in Lesser Poland, crusader and fundator of the Monastery of the Holy Sepulchre in Miechów, son-in-law of Piotr Włostowic.

According to some historians this is the same person as Jaxa of Köpenick (Jaksa z Kopanicy), Prince of the Sprevane.[1][2]
