I recently visited Museum Of American History in Washington DC. I liked how all the presidents were listed\u00a0chronologically. This gave me an idea for today’s blog. I will talk about Polish dukes and kings (king – kr\u00f3l<\/strong>, kings – kr\u00f3lowie<\/strong>)\u00a0today and next time we will be talking about Polish presidents.<\/p>\n

Before 1320 the Polish rulers were with a few exceptions not kings. They had instead the title “ksi\u0105\u017c\u0119”<\/strong>, which can be translated to either prince or duke. In 1138 Poland was divided between different branches of the ruling dynasty into several autonomous principalities (autonomiczne\u00a0ksi\u0119stwa<\/strong>). But the principality of Krakow would always belong to the senior member of each generation, who had supremacy (zwierzchnictwo<\/strong>) over all other principalities. This arrangement disintegrated (rozpad\u0142o si\u0119<\/strong>) in the period of 1180-1227 and the principality of Krakow became thereafter hereditary (p\u00f3\u017aniej dziedzicznym<\/strong>), although its prince still retained nominal supremacy (nominalne\u00a0zwierzchnictwo<\/strong>)\u00a0over the other dukes.<\/p>\n

Poland and Lithuania were 1569 united in a union with weak central power, its name (Rzeczpospolita<\/strong>) can be translated to either “the republic” or “the commonwealth”. This state could not defend itself when it was partitioned between Russia, Austria and Prussia 1772-1795. A Polish state was restored during the Napoleonic wars but it was transformed to Congress Poland 1815, which was in reality an autonomous part of the Russian empire. It was only after the First World War a really independent Polish state was created.<\/p>\n
