As many of you know Casimir the Restorer (Kazimierz Odnowiciel) moved the capital from Gniezno to Krakow.
Now my question - why did he do that? I mean armies of which countries destroyed Gniezno ... therefore the capital had to be moved to Krakow?

What a marvelous chase / hunt for a horrible rainy Saturday morning  1038AD, Czech prince Boetislav invaded Gniezo, sacked the Cathedral - removed the attributes of the Polish Crown (?) and moved the relics of St. Adelbert to Prague. If I am interpreting this all correctly... Casimir the Restorer (Kazimierz Odnowiciel) was married to Dobronega sister to a Prince of Kiev. It made more political sense to look toward the East for allies than to the West. Krakow became the capital in 1040AD. |

Gardenmoma you are a winner!!! Thank you for digging out. The capital was moved to Krakow because Gniezno and Poznan were destroyed by Czech prince |

Congratulations, GM!
By "banner" do you mean the moving line? If so, use the little "M" button on the top row of tags on the reply form.
