Why did Władysław Łokietek become a legend? Was it the political talent of the penultimate king of the Piast dynasty that made it so? Why does his character stir the imagination of historians? What was Łokietek's path to the top of power and how do we assess his policy towards the fragmentation of the feudal system? In today's podcast of the Polish History Museum, we will also recall the most important figures of 14th-century Poland: Przemysł II, Archbishop Jakub Świnka, John of Luxembourg and Casimir the Great. We will also talk about the Teutonic Knights and the Gdańsk Massacre. Łukasz Starowieyski will talk about the extremely turbulent period in Polish history and the exceptional figure that Władysław Łokietek was in the podcast from the series "1000 years. X-ray". His guest is Prof. Janusz Grabowski from the Central Archives of Historical Records and Dr. Tomasz Borowski from the Polish History Museum.
