The most complete vision of the origins of the monastery in Henryków gives us the Book of Henryków. The Book of Henryków delivers quite a complicated picture of the foundation. In the foundation of the cloister as many as three persons took part: the notary Nicholas, prince Henry the Bearded and Henry the Pious. According to the author of the first part of the Book of Henryków, the prince Henry the Pious was the only founder of the cloister. The analysis of late medieval and renaissance chronicles give us a quite different picture of its foundation. There are two leading concepts. The first sustained thesis of princely foundations. Its originator was Peter of Byczyna the author of the Chronica Principium Poloniae. The second concept was created by Jan Dlugosz, who ascribed the foundation of Henryków to the notary Nicholas.

On the one hand, the burghers of Ziebice were portrayed on the pages of the Book as competitors of the abbey on lands which were the object of the attention of the monastery, and also as a factor disturbing the land transactions with local knights. On the other hand, during the minority years of the sons of Prince Bolko I of Świdnica and Jawor, the city became a guarantee of law and order for the monks, which was manifested in their use of advice and help from the burghers of Munsterberg in complicated financial transactions. In the early 14th century the monks of Henrykow and the burghers of Ziebice maintained very close relations, which was actually in the interest of the municipal upper class, with the cloister as a suitable place for children of the burghers, and also as a spiritual center which should be supported financially.
