In Polish historiography, the Luxembourg dynasty was never very popular. Sigmund of Luxembourg was considered to be a friend of the Teutonic Knights and thus an enemy of Poland. The article deals with the image of this ruler presented by Jan Długosz, a great Polish historian of the 15th century. He focuses his attention on Sigmund as the king played a key role in Polish history for many years. Długosz does not hesitate to criticise the king, yet he appreciates his diplomatic talent. He presents him as a politician as well as a human being. His portrayal of the Roman and Hungarian Emperor appears to be accurate and true.

This article aims at highlighting a broader context of research interests on arms and armour conducted by Andrzej Nadolski. From the beginning of his scientific career, he believed that studies in arms were a part of the history of society and its culture. In terms of methodology he always supported the farreaching comparative studies, but he also recommended great caution in drawing general conclusions. To build a complete picture of place of weapons in past societies he called for detailed studies of iconography on par with research on material culture. Temperance in the formulation of decisive conclusions accompanied by kindness towards polemics, he believed that these qualities were necessary for practicing the scientific approach towards humanities in general, towards studies in weaponry as well. He saw this discipline as a rather narrow field of research, nevertheless he always emphasized its great significance. If war was one of the most important events in history, one should never underestimate the role of weapons. He also suggested that arms should always be viewed in a broader context, as a component of literature, culture and art. Andrzej Nadolski had high demands of other researchers, but also extended same criteria towards himself. He was very critical of his own accomplishments, a trait not shared by the majority of scientists. His ambition was not to restrict himself to a narrow field of specialization in one discipline, which was the reason for his participation in popularization of humanities in mass media, with significant results. Andrzej Nadolski never treated weapons out of a broader context, always seeing them as an important part of widely undestood human activities, which comprise the depth of humanistic character of his work.

The author seeks to develop an understanding how Polish historians perceived the presence of the Luxembourgs in Silesia and to follow the evolution of this perception. The incorporation of Silesia into the Lands of the Crown of Bohemia in the 14th century aroused a lively interest in historians. An outline of historiographic views shows the dependence of the researchers on time and place in which their evaluation was made. The authors often mounted arguments in an emotive unscholarly fashion. At present, however, there is a rational and balanced approach to this theme among the Polish researchers

The author discusses the Polish-Czech relations, mainly during the late Middle Ages. In the article there are examples of positive images of the Poles, which have been taken from the voluminous Czech writing from the 14th century. In the 15th century the main question in the mutual relations was the Hussite cause. Yet, it did not end in breaking the political relations in spite of the fact that the Kingdom of Bohemia was isolated in Europe at that time. Just the reverse, it was just then that a project of a union with the Czechs was created. Finally, it was not implemented, but a representative of the Jagiellonian dynasty ascended the Czech throne (Vladislaus Jagiellon, Czech: Vladislav Jagellonský, Polish: Władysław Jagiellończyk). In the 19th century, when the two nations did not have their own states, the idea of the union between them was often evoked and their ancestors were being criticised for not taking advantage of the chance to build a political power of the Western Slavs, which – it was believed – could have saved the two nations from the subsequent political catastrophe.
