| | Notes on Poland -- Part 1 |
 | | Boleslaw marries Rigdag, daughter of Margrave of Meissen to gain standing with Saxons, and inherit Meissen. |
 | | In Boleslaw's day, every Knight and Lady of the court wore not linen or woolen cloth, but coats of costly weave, while furs, even if very expensive and quite new were not worn at his court unless doubled with fine stuff, and trimmed with gold tassels. |
 | | Boleslaw Chrobry holds Moravia, but somewhere between 1003 and 1007, lost Slovakia to the Hungarians, either by invasion, or to buy their neutrality. |
