	Mieszko I of Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The early career of Mieszko was dominated by fighting with the tribes of Wieletes and Volinians south of the Baltic Sea, and their ally, the Saxon count Wichman.
		Mieszko was baptised in 966, probably under the influence of his Christian first wife or perhaps in order to avoid confrontation with the Holy Roman Empire to the west.
		One medieval chronicle also states that Mieszko pledged allegiance to Margrave Gero, but since the chronicle itself is believed to be an abstract of another which does not mention this, it is now generally considered to be a myth.

	Mieszko I of Poland
		Mieszko was baptised in 966 (probably under the influence of his Christian first wife or maybe in order to avoid confrontation with the Holy Roman Empire to the west) he built a church dedicated to Saint George at Gniezno and in 968 he founded the first Polish cathedral in Poznań dedicated to Saint Peter.
		Mieszko I had pledged allegiance to emperor Otto I the Great, to emperor Otto II and again to emperor Otto III, however there is much dispute from the Polish side over this fact - mainly whether he was vassal from whole Poland, or from part Poland (the disputed fragment is "usque Varta fluvium").
		One medieval chronicle also mentions that Mieszko pledged allegiance to margrave Gero, but since the chronicle itself is believed to be abstract of another which does not mention that fact, this is generally accepted nowaday as myth.

	Poland
		Mieszko accepted baptism directly from Rome in preference to conversion by the German church and subsequent annexation of Poland by the German Empire.

		Mieszko's son and successor Boleslaw I (992-1025), known as the Brave, built on his father's achievements and became the most successful Polish monarch of the early medieval era.

		Some historians even question whether Mieszko was Slavic and suggest that he was Scandinavian, and have seen evidence to support this claim in one of the earliest written documents about Mieszko (the Dagome Iudex), where he appears under the name Dagome, which they say could be the Scandinavian name Dago.
		Some military equipment found in Poland and dated to around Mieszko's time has been claimed to be of Scandinavian appearance, though archaeologists today are generally skeptical, and there is no trace of characteristically Scandinavian architecture among the remains of the Polanian structures, not even in the leaders' quarters.
		Mieszko's successor Boleslaus I expanded the early state, and gave it an international recognition due to the meeting at the tomb of Saint Adalbert with the emperor of Holy Roman Empire.

		This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality.
		Since Vikings were responsible for founding the state of the Rus, some people have wondered if a they could have also been the founders of a Polish state.
		In one early written documents, Mieszko I is called "Dagome", which could be a Norman name, derived from Dagon.

		In addition, it is not clear why the city of KrakÃ³w, which had probably been conquered by Mieszko before the document was written, is mentioned as a borderland and not as part of the Shinesghe civitas.
		Finally, the very name of Mieszko, mentioned in the document as Dagome is not clear as nowhere else is he called by that name (see Scandinavian connections to Mieszko I).
		It is unclear why BolesÅ‚aw I Chrobry, the later Polish ruler and the oldest son of Mieszko is not mentioned while the children of Mieszko's marriage with Ote are.

		They were able to wrest control of the Northern Seas from the Scandinavians and to respond successfully to attempts of the Scandinavians to regain such control, as for example that of the Danish King Waldemar Atterdag in the fourteenth century.
		The Emperors Henry II (in 1017) and Conrad II (in 1029) formed alliances with Yaroslav the Wise of Kiev to oppose Mieszko II of Poland, and this policy was continued in the reigns of Henry III and Henry IV.
		Scandinavian and Kievan enterprise now connected the Baltic region more directly and frequently with the capital of the eastern Roman Empire and helped to extend Byzantine influence northward.

		After that the Scandinavians disappeared from the sight of civilized men; for the next 600 years or so they did not show their warlike side, but kept to themselves, except when they wanted to trade with the tribes and nations of the south.
		The other reason why the Scandinavians came into their own is because in the eighth century they learned how to make something no one else had: a really efficient sailing ship.
		Scandinavian sailors had opened up a big new realm to the European world, but it was a realm of grey seas, ice and emptiness.

	Encyclopedia: Connection between Poles and Vandals
		A similar story was told by the author of Wielkopolska chronicle from the 14th century, and then Dzierzwa from Krakow in the 14th century, who tried to give Slavic etymology to all known Vandalic names, like deriving Vanda from węda, that is fishing-rod.
		In 12th century also Gerwazy from Tilbury, English writer in Otia imperialia wrote that citizens of Poland are called and are calling themselves Vandals.
		The first Polish historian to deny any connection to Vandals and to criticise that idea was Marcin Kromer, bishop of Warmia, author of De origine et rebus gestis Polonorum from 1555.

		(1) Before the Christianization of the Scandinavians and the Eastern Slavs the former had thrust themselves into the territory and affairs of the latter,38 and Scandinavian contingents were present as far south as Constantinople.
		Thus the Germans, although in the eleventh century temporarily arrested by the Slavs in their movement of conquest and colonization eastward along the south coast of the Baltic49 achieved great success in commerce, both overland and maritime.
		53 Scandinavians also raided coasts of the Black Sea;54 but in general they were more peaceable and positive in their economic behavior, and at Constantinople a Scandinavian contingent entered the Imperial service in the later ninth century.

		Fourth, why is Cracow, which had been probably conquered by Mieszko earlier, mentioned as borderland, not as part of Shinesghe civitas?
		[4] What's most controversial is in that document, is that Boleslaw I Chrobry, oldest son of Mieszko, is not mentioned, only sons from marriage with Ote.

		Scandinavians in the Middle Ages there is another interesting discussion, little known outside Scandinavia, on the degree of how much people in particular northern Germany and even Denmark are mixed up with Slavs.
		While we both in fact have strong cultural and ethnic connections, due to that reason alone the Kingdom of Russia cannot be derived as a branch of the kingdom of Denmark.
		Scandinavian (Norwegian) culture was just a drop in the ocean and certainly cannot claim any origin.

		But the pattern of repetition of this ploy makes it obvious that these are not confusions within the history, but ploys by a person trying to contort history for her purposes.

		Since the millers did not want to contaminate their flour, most industrial mills were soon built separately from the mills producing foodstuffs, and the terms sawmill, paper mill and textile mill come from these specialized buildings.

		The realization of any musical connections to the tragedies of September 11 are a little shaky; but like the other elegy for 9/11, William Basinski's epic "Disintegration Loops," the music transcends the earthly confines of that specific event and bears witness to the universal fear and awe of the sublime.
		The rest of the band fills in more than ably, with some seriously vicious vocal attacks plus that classically huge buzzing Scandinavian death/grind guitar sound a la Entombed and Nasum -- the late Mieszko Talarczyk of Nasum even recorded this.
