Bolesław I the Brave (Polish: Bolesław I Chrobry; 966 or 967 - June 17, 1025), in the past also known as Bolesław I the Great, in Polish: Bolesław I Wielki ), of the Piast Dynasty — son of Mieszko I and of his first wife, the Bohemian princess Dobrawa — ruled as Duke of Poland, 992-1025, and as King of Poland in 1025. av. The portrait of king Boleslaw I the Brave; the dates 992 - 1025 rv. The first known picture of the Polish coat of arms from the coin of the king Boleslaw I diameter - 70 mm (2 ¾ “) weight – 121.20 gr, (4.28 oz) metal – bronze, authentic patina King Boleslaw I Chrobry (the Brave), 966-1025 In 984 Bolesław married Rikdaga, daughter of Rikdag (Riddag, Ricdag), Margrave of Meißen. Subsequently he married Judith, daughter of Geza, Grand Duke of Hungary; then Enmilda, daughter of Dobromir, Duke of Lusatia (their daughter Regelinde became the wife of Hermann of Meißen); and lastly Oda von Haldensleben, another daughter of the Margrave of Meißen. His wives bore him sons, including Bezprym, Mieszko II and Otton; and a daughter, Mathilde. After his father's death around 992, Bolesław was able to expel his father's second wife, Oda, and her sons, and unite the country again. In 997 Bolesław sent Saint Adalbert of Prague to Prussia, on the Baltic Sea, on a mission to convert the heathen Prussians to Christianity — an attempt that would end in Adalbert's martyrdom and subsequent canonization. In 1000, Emperor Otto III, while on pilgrimage to the tomb of St. Adalbert at Gniezno, invested Bolesław with the title Frater et Cooperator Imperii ("Brother and Partner in the Empire"). Some historians state that the Emperor also pledged a royal crown to Bolesław. During that same visit, Otto III accepted Gniezno's status as an archbishopric (see Congress of Gniezno). After the untimely death of Otto III at age 22 in 1002, Bolesław conquered Meißen and Lusatia, wresting imperial territory for himself during the disputes over succession to the Imperial throne. He and his father had earlier backed Henry II, Duke of Bavaria against Otto, and Bolesław now accepted the accession, as Emperor, of Henry II, son of the earlier Henry. Bolesław conquered, and made himself Duke of, Bohemia and Moravia in 1003 - 1004, ruling as Boleslav IV. At the request of his son-in-law Sviatopolk I of Kiev, the Polish duke intervened in Kievan affairs: not only did he expel Yaroslav the Wise from Kiev, but possibly he deployed his troops in Rus' capital for about half a year (see Kiev Expedition). It was during this campaign that Bolesław annexed the Red Strongholds, later called Red Ruthenia. The intermittent wars with the Holy Roman Empire ended with the Peace of Bautzen in 1018, which left Sorbian Meißen and Lusatia in Polish hands. Emperor Henry II obliged Bolesław to pledge his fealty again in exchange for the lands that he held in fief. After Henry's death in 1024, Bolesław crowned himself king (1025), thus raising Poland to the rank of a kingdom and being the first Polish king, his predecessors having been "princes". His successors as rulers of Poland long desired to be continuously kings, like their neighbors in Hungary, but like their neighbors of Bohemia, they were only occasionally granted such recognition by their nominal liege lord, the Emperor, or any such international recognition. Bolesław sent an army to aid his friend — probably also his nephew — Canute the Great in his conquest of England. Bolesław's son, Mieszko II, crowned himself king immediately upon his father's death.
