• John (1302–1317), succeeded his father, but died young

In 1308, Herman died, and their son John succeeded him.

Second marriage

In 1310 Anna married Henry VI the Good, Duke of Wrocław, son of Henry V the Fat and his wife Elisabeth of Greater Poland. They had three daughters:

• Elisabeth of Brieg (ca. 1311 – 20 February? 1328), married before 10 January 1322 to Duke Konrad I of Oleśnica.
