Wawrzyniec, also known as Lawrence, was a medieval Bishop of Wrocław, Poland in the years 1207-1232.
According to Jan Długosz, a papal bull of Pope Innocent III required the Polish Princes not to interfere with the election of bishops. Polish bishops, led by Archbishop Henryk Kietlicz then advocated for Lawrence.
As Bishop he established a number of churches and monasteries in the diocese.
Lawrence died 7 June 1232 and was interred in Lubiąż.
Wawrzyniec (died 9 March 1233) was a bishop of Lubusz.
Between 1204 and 1209 he became a bishop of Lubusz. He took a participation in synod in Borzykowo (1210) and in synod in Mostowo (1212).
Wawrzyniec died on 9 March 1233.
According to the tradition from 17th Century they were two bishops named Wawrzyniec (first died in 1204, second in 1232), but it is rejecte by modern historians, which claim that there was only one bishop of Lubusz named Wawrzyniec.
