Szyce [ˈʂɨt͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wielka Wieś, within Kraków County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland. [1]
In 1234, Duke Bolesław V the Chaste from the Piast dynasty granted the village to a man named Klemens, who then passed it to his wife Racława. [2] By 1238 it passed to the monastery in Staniątki. [2]
Following the Partitions of Poland, from 1815, it was located in the Russian Partition of Poland. In 1827 Szyce had a population of 82. [2] During the January Uprising, on 4 February and 7 May 1863, battles between Polish insurgents and Russian troops took place in Szyce. [3]
Following World War I, Poland regained independence and control of the village. In 1924 the second Polish folk high school was established in Szyce. [4]
