By writing his will, Bolesław Krzywousty tried to stop the course of history. He died in 1138. This is a critical date for Poland. Krzywousty's sons jump at each other's throats, subsequent generations tear the country into smaller and smaller pieces, and the Kraków throne turns into a hot seat. The feudal fragmentation begins, which will last for almost 200 years, until the coronation of Władysław the Elbow-high in 1320. This time, in the Polish History Museum podcast "1000 years. Prześwietla", Łukasz Starowieyski takes us on a journey to medieval Poland. The background of the story will be betrayals, fratricidal wars, murders, assassinations, and a crown that does not always bring happiness. Let's hear about the saga of the Piast dynasty.
