		Silesia was originally a Polish province that became a possession of the Bohemian crown in 1335, passed with that crown to the Austrian Habsburgs in 1526, was taken by Prussia in 1742, and was returned to Poland in 1945.
		Silesia is now divided into nine Polish provinces, with capitals at Katowice, Bielsko-Biala, Opole, Wroclaw (Breslau), Walbrzych, Legnica, Jelenia Góra, Zielona Góra, and Kalisz; the remainder forms part of Brandenburg and Saxony Länder (states) of Germany and part of the Severomoravský kraj (region) of the Czech Republic.
		Silesia was subsequently reacquired by Bohemia, however, and it passed to the Habsburgs in 1526 with the accession of the Austrian archduke Ferdinand (later Holy Roman emperor Ferdinand I) to the Bohemian throne.
