In 1314 the chapter of the cathedral of Gniezno elected Borzysław as Archbishop, so he went to Avignon for Pope Clement V to confirmed the choice. However, Clement V died, and it took two years to determine his successor, Pope John XXII. In 1317 Borzysław again returned to Avignon where his selection was confirmed and consecrated by John XXII. However, while awaiting clearance Borzysław himself suddenly died.[2]
