After Henry's death in 1024, Bolesław crowned himself king (1025), thus raising Poland to the rank of a kingdom and being the first Polish king, his predecessors having been "princes".
His successors as rulers of Poland long desired to be continuously kings, like their neighbors in Hungary, but like their neighbors of Bohemia, they were only occasionally granted such recognition by their nominal liege lord, the Emperor, or any such international recognition.
Poland had thus the royal status before their ethnic relatives and neighbors, Bohemia.
