Sodom Sin of Boleslaus II the Generous in the Light of Jan Długosz's "Annals" In the relation entered into the third volume of his Annals, dated 1076, Jan Długosz describing the Kiev campaign of Boleslaus the Generous introduces a description of the moral metamorphosis of the Polish ruler and accompanying knights. He maintains that they were guilty of a Sodom sin, which they committed in Ruthenia. This very phenomenon received the chronicler’s decided anti-Ruthenian tone. The present article established the importance of Długosz’s accusation and explains how this very element had its role in developing negative opinions about Ruthenians in the Annals. The author also provides background information about earlier accusations against Boleslaus regarding his sexual impurity.
