Siemowit (Polish pronunciation: [??'m?vit], also Ziemowit [??'m?vit]) was, according to the chronicles of Gallus Anonymus, the son of Piast the Wheelwright and Rzepicha. He is considered to be the first ruler of the Piast dynasty.[1]
He became the Duke of the Polans in the 9th century after his father, Piast the Wheelwright, 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 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]
Siemowit's great grandson, Mieszko I, was the first Christian ruler of Poland.
