The history of ancient Poland begins with the Slavs, the Great Migration, and tales of legendary kings. Figures such as Lech, Krak, and Piast are at the heart of the unification of the Polish people, providing the first Polish royal dynasty, the Piasts, with a mythical legacy.

In this video, we delve into the history of ancient Poland: from the moment the Slavs settled in Eastern Europe and the Baltic Sea, to the time when the Union of Krewo in 1385 radically changed the medieval kingdom of Poland. We will look at how the first Polish kings ruled, how Polish princes and dukes fought among themselves, how the country united against the Teutons, Czechs, and even the troops of the Holy Roman Empire, how the local aristocracy, the Szlachta, gained its power, and how Poland came to create another powerful state on its own foundation — the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
