Today I’m going to write about my favourite King of Poland – Bolesław Chrobry.
Bolesław I the Brave was born in 967. When he was 6 he went to Germany because Poland had to confirm the decisions at the great council at Quedlinburg. In 990 he came back to Poland and in 992 he started his commanding career. He supported the Christianity mission to Prussia of Adalbert of Prague (known as Wojciech before consecration). After Wojciech's murder he bought his body and buried him with honours. When in 1000 Otto III came to Poland he organized the Congress of Gniezno. With this event, Poland confirmed its status as a Christianized country. Otto dreamt about a big empire including Poland, Germany and other European countries. Unfortunately, his plan wasn’t fulfilled because he died in 1003.
I think Bolesław was a great diplomat and a very brave warrior. In 1025 he became the first King of Poland but just a few months later he died. He is my favourite king because of his intelligence and bravery. Under his ruling, Poland was a great country.
