The first Polish dynasty whose origin started with the legendary founder is the main point for the contemporary consideration about national identity. The author Elżbieta Cherezińska shows in the trilogy Odrodzone Królestwo that history is mixed with legend, facts and native faith. Prince Władysław Łokietek and his complicated way to the crown is one of the most important persons in the Piast dynasty. This author shows that the return to ancestors is still significant for understanding our history. Redefinition of national and cultural identity is the response for worth of Polish/Slavic origin.

For many centuries, the Piast dynasty maintained wide contacts with the ruling courts of Europe. The representatives of the Piast dynasty had many opportunities to gain social and foreign language skills but also to participate in organised forms of education. The Piasts’ education was complemented by scientific trips, undertaken by numerous princes in such form as pilgrimages and crusades. The aim of the paper is to present a group of descendants of Mieszko I and Doubravka of Bohemia, living in the period from the 10th to the beginning of the 17th century, who started their careers at European universities. With time and with the intellectual development of Europe, the model of educating princes and kings became a permanent part of the model of schooling, which was associated with the increasing number of stays of the Piasts at European universities.

This article is devoted to the reinterpretation of proper names refering to one of the earliest historical sources concerning Polish history, known as “Dagome iudex” (ca 991–992 BC). The author focuses on the question of how to interpret some uncertain Latinized versions of Slavic names included in this document. For example, some historians interpret Dagome as a bastardized version of the words Ego Mesco dux meaning “I, prince Mieszko”. According to the opinion of the majority of scholars, Alemure might be the city of Olomouc, in Moravia. A paleographical and micro-philological analysis leads the author to the conclusion that these Medieval Latin forms should be transcribed as follows: Dagome – Tągoma, Misica – Mieszek, Schinesgne – Gniezno and Alemure – Lemiesza. In the author’s opinion, the document provides a description of Polish western borders including the Lower Silesia and ending at the Lusatian Neisse and the Oder, at the end of tenth century. A new interpretation of the document is discussed, suggesting that the main purpose of Mieszko was problably to prevent German territorial claims on the borderlands.
