Kingdom of the first Piasts

Kingdom of the first Piasts (Regnum Poloniae) was the state formed by the Boleslaus I of Poland in 1025 during his coronation. However, the legal base for existence of this Christian kingdom was established in 1000 during the Meeting in Gniezno, when Poland was recognized as the state by Holy Roman Empire and the Pope.

  • The official language: Latin (written), Polish (spoken)
  • Capital: Gniezno, Poznan and Krakow
  • The political system: the military dictatorship, where the king was supposed to respect traditional customs of people.
  • The inheritance rule: all sons of the King have equal rights to the throne (the stronger becomes the king).
