Kingdom of Poland
Kingdom of Poland brings together several realms, from 962 to 1449. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1003, its lands covered about 424,991 km².
Poland emerged under the Piast dynasty, whose duke Mieszko I accepted Christianity in 966; his son Bolesław the Brave was crowned the first king in 1025. After 1138 the realm split into duchies for nearly two centuries and suffered Mongol raids, until Władysław the Short reunited it and his son Casimir the Great rebuilt it, founding the University of Kraków and welcoming Jewish settlers. In 1386 Queen Jadwiga married Jogaila, Grand Duke of Lithuania, creating a personal union under the Jagiellonian dynasty. More about Kingdom of Poland.
