The kingdom of the Piasts in the political thought of the 15th century

In the 15th century, there was a widespread belief that the kingdom of Poland was established when Otto III met with Boleslaw the Brave in Gniezno. This opinion functioned not only in Polish historiography and hagiography. In the 15th century it began to be used in Polish political thought, especially during the disputes of the Polish Kingdom with the Teutonic Order. The paper aims to present the role of information about the Piast kingdom in the political thought of the 15th century.
