Christina went with him to Poland, but there she was deceived: it was not the Bishop of Kraków who married them, as she supposed, but someone dressed up as a bishop. And before long the king cast her off — it is said because she was bald — and took the Jewess Esther instead. Tomek adds that it is not known whether that burgher's daughter, so eager to be queen, ever returned to Prague.
