  • (Geschiedenis) .Source 1
    Siemowit (ook Ziemowit) was, volgens de kronieken van Gallus Anonymus, de zoon van Piast de Wagenmaker en Rzepicha. Hij werd beschouwd als een van de vier legendarische prinsen der Piasten, maar wordt nu beschouwd als een heerser die bestond als een historisch persoon.

    Hij werd de hertog der Polanen in de 9e eeuw na zijn vader, zoon van Choscisko, die weigerde de plaats in te nemen van de legendarische hertog Popiel. Siemowit werd verkozen tot nieuwe hertog door de vetsje. Volgens een populaire legende, werd Popiel vervolgens opgegeten door muizen in zijn toren op het Goplo-meer.

    De enige vermelding van Siemowit, samen met zijn zoon Lestko en kleinzoon Siemomysl, komt voor in de middeleeuwse kroniek van Gallus Anonymus.

    Siemowits achterkleinzoon Mieszko I van de Piasten wordt beschouwd als de eerste heerser van Polen die gedoopt werd, hoewel er bewijs van arianistische christenen die dateren van vóór zijn heerschappij werd gevonden in Zuid-Polen.

    Siemowit (also Ziemowit) was, according to the chronicles of Gallus Anonymus, the son of Piast the Wheelwright and Rzepicha. He was considered one of the four legendary Piast princes, but is now considered as a ruler who existed as a historical person.[1]

    He became the duke of the Polans in the 9th century after his father, son of Choscisko, refused to take the place of legendary Duke Popiel. Siemowit was elected as new duke by the wiec.[2] According to a popular legend, Popiel was then eaten by mice in his tower on the Goplo lake.[3]

    The only mention of Siemowit, along with his son Lestek and grandson Siemomysl, comes in the medieval chronicle of Gallus Anonymus.[4]
