Kazimierz Sprawiedliwy: Ostatnia próba jedności Piastów | Średniowieczna Polska #10

Casimir the Just did not receive a single piece of land in his father's will, yet he seized the throne of Kraków. 📜 IN THIS EPISODE: The youngest son of Bolesław III Wrymouth was omitted from the division of the country, yet in 1177 he seized Kraków, overthrowing his brother Mieszko the Old. This is the tenth episode of a series about medieval Poland. I discuss the breakdown of the principle of seniority, the groundbreaking Congress of Łęczyca in 1180, and Casimir the Just's struggle for control over a fragmented Poland. The backdrop is set against the backdrop of the era: the death of Archbishop Thomas Becket, the fall of Jerusalem in 1187, and the drowning of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. We also visit Wiślica, Wawel Castle, and the Abbey in Sulejów. We move through these events step by step, calmly drifting off to sleep. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎧 SERIES: Medieval Poland — Polish rulers one by one, episode by episode. ▶️ ENTIRE SERIES (playlist):    • Średniowieczna Polska: Władcy Polski od Mi...   🔔 SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@historia_do_... 📖 SOURCES: Master Wincenty (Kadłubek), Polish Chronicle (Chronica Polonorum), 13th century - the most important source on the reign of Casimir the Just, written by his court chronicler.
