964 CE to 1107 CE

Mieszko is considered the first ruler of Poland's Piast Dynasty (named for the legendary peasant founder of the family), which will endure for four centuries.

Between 967 and 990, Mieszko conquers substantial territory along the Baltic Sea and in the region known as Little Poland to the south.

By the time he officially submits to the authority of the Holy See in Rome in 990, Mieszko has transformed his country into one of the strongest powers in Eastern Europe.
