From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kingdom of Poland[lower-alpha 1] was a kingdom in Central Europe with the capital in Gniezno. Its government system was Patrimonial monarchy. The state was reformed in 1025 from the Duchy of Poland, following the coronation of Bolesław I the Brave for the king. Shortly after that, he died being succeeded by his son, Mieszko II Lambert, who became the last ruler of the country.[1][2] The state existed until 1031, when, after losing the German–Polish War, Mieszko was dethronized and replaced with duke Bezprym, who formed the Duchy of Poland.[3]
