Historians more and more boldly admit that Gall Anonim was not a fairy tale writer at all, and before Mieszko I the not-so-legendary Siemowit, Lestek and Siemomysł ruled. It is worth taking one more step back. After all, behind every strong man there was at least an equally powerful woman. Only

Finding a wife for the Polish elected prince was a surprisingly difficult task. To do this, it was necessary to endure humiliation, deception and princesses fleeing from the altar. And at the end, overpay for the second-class daughter-in-law anyway. But what is not being done for the son… Jan II
The Polish MP caused a diplomatic scandal that almost cost him his life. A few sentences were enough for the powerful Queen Elizabeth to feel sincere hatred for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. And traces of this conflict can be found even in the most important play by William Shakespeare. 16th
Probably no dynasty in the history of the world enjoys similar popularity. Hundreds of books, dozens of films, and a strikingly popular series were written about the Tudors, who ruled England in the 15th and 16th centuries. Why about them? What is so remarkable about the history of this one family?
A raging epidemic decimated the country. There was a great war. It was in such circumstances that this turbulent love story unfolded. Its heroes were an ancient ruler, an aspiring heir to the throne and a young woman. Just like a decent (if you can say so ...) soap opera. The year 1347 seemed to
To say that she was dripping with sex would be quite an understatement. The last thing you could accuse her of was prudishness. She outclassed Marlena Dietrich and became an inspiration for Madonna. In addition, after the era of flat tomboys, she rediscovered curves for Hollywood - literally. Ma
The biblical Delilah has already shown that women performing secret missions can be deadly for men. In addition, seduction is considered to be one of the most effective methods of extracting information. Do Mossad agents also use it? Practically from the very beginning of the existence of the Is
Her husband was a poser, sucking radioactive drinks and driving drunken raids through the streets of the city. She was nothing like him. She was a real, though underrated star in journalism. Ready to travel on a pile of explosives and risk jail, just to make the best material. Marrying a colleagu

The names of the Piasts wives often remain unknown to us. We do not know the names of Braves two wives and the Bolds half. Until recently, the wife of Henryk Prawy, who wanted to become king 30 years before Łokietek, was also nameless. And the fact that her name was finally found only complicated th
It was enough for this effeminate idiot to appear in the crown, and the entire prestige of the royal majesty fell with a bang. English King Edward II would move heaven and earth for a lover, but not necessarily for a country. No wonder this love story didnt have a happy ending. The future Edward
The monster of Gevaudan murdered the villagers and haunted the queens salons. Apparently, he also brought death bad luck to the only Polish woman on the French throne ... Torn throats, gnawed entrails, claw marks - this is what the mysterious beast left behind, which began to terrorize the vicin
Nobody is surprised by the sight of the ladies at the controls of combat planes. Still 75 years ago it was unimaginable. It was not until the outbreak of World War II that women began to fly fighters. Among these pioneers there were also three extraordinary Polish women. In Great Britain, the pa

Why did the contemporaries of Lucrezia Borgia see her as a saint, and why do we so easily believe the libels about her? Here are some unknown facts from the life of the Popes daughter. Regent of the Eternal City, protector of the poor and the oppressed, a pious duchess and a zealous supporter of Chu
Undoubtedly, Stefan Czarniecki loved his homeland - for his merits he was even immortalized in the Polish anthem. However, he loved ... money just as much, and treated war as his main source of income. How much did he earn this way? During the Swedish Deluge, Czarniecki pushed into the shadow th

India is a land of diversity, with varying ethnicities, cultures, customs, religions and more. Its rich and complex history would justify the reasons behind the medley. We are more familiar with stories that tell of the invasion and occupation of the country by foreign powers, but we are not familia
We are hit by extreme heatwaves more and more often. Well, the climate is getting warmer. But exceptionally hot summers have already happened in Poland - a good few centuries ago! Centuries ago, of course, there were no thermometers. Thus, chroniclers could not notice that in such and such a year
