A fact not many know (and some know but don’t admit): medieval Poland, after about 200 years of feudal division between usually warring princes of the Piast family, was reunited by the Bohemian King Wenceslaus II (Wacław Czeski) but as Poles regard him as a foreign ruler (his
claim to the Polish throne was no better than Henry V to the throne of France) they prefer to view Władysław I the Elbow-high (Władysław Łokietek) as the “unifier”. In fact, Władysław, who could not much the power of the Czech King, backed by silver from Kutna Hora, which
produced something like 30% of all silver in Europe, and only succeeded because of the unexpected death of Wenceslaus and unexplained assassination of his young sons Wenceslaus III, with whose death the Premislid Empire broke up. Here is an illustration from Zbraslavská kronika,
showing Wenceslaus II with 2 crown (Bohemian and Polish) and Wenceslaus III with 3 (Bohemian, Polish, Hungarian).
