The chroniclers called him "Great" and "Great". He was a charismatic and fearless fighter and an excellent strategist who exploited even the slightest weakness of his opponent. It caused fear from the Elbe to Kyiv and from the Baltic to the Danube. He proved that Poles must be reckoned with.
He conquered Krakow, conquered Prague, plundered the Połaba and seized Kyiv. He mocked the German emperor, driving border posts into the water of the river that ran through the center of his kingdom. He sat on the legendary throne of Charlemagne. And he had ambitions no less than he was.
He constantly sought a confrontation with all his neighbors, wanting to take the lands due to them from Poland. Cheeky, possessive, devilishly effective. A Pole who did not bow to anyone - Bolesław the Brave.
