Elisabeth arranged for Agnes to marry Henry I Jaworski. The wedding took place in 1316, however, because the two were related in the fourth degree of kinship, a papal dispensation was required. It was granted in 1325. Agnes' brother in law, King John of Bohemia opposed the marriage, which would make Henry a powerful rival, along with Bolesław III the Generous, the husband of Margaret of Bohemia, a half-sister of Agnes.
Shortly after the wedding and, with the consent of Elisabeth, Henry I went with his troops to her dowry town, Hradec Králové in North Bohemia, where he organized expeditions to support rebels against King John of Bohemia.
Agnes had only one pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage, in the first trimester, when she rode with her horse over a hill. This accident kept her in bed for many months. Agnes died in 1337, only two years after her mother and nine years before her husband
