  1. ^ In the end, after the Battle of Wilichów, Bolesław III Wrymouth defeated Vladimirko Volodarovich
  2. ^ Although Leszek did not get Halych, he fulfilled his aim of introducing his influence and achieved a military victory, but not a political one[18]
  3. ^ The existence of this rebellion is uncertain.
