Dawna ludność musiała opuścić dotychczasowe siedziby, a jej miejsce zajęli pol- scy osadnicy. Wraz z ich przybyciem rozpoczął się wieloletni proces oswajania tego regionu – jego dziedzictwa materialnego i duchowego. W działaniach tych udział brali politycy wszystkich opcji, działacze społeczni i kulturalni, krajo- znawcy, naukowcy i kler, gdyż, jak pisał Piotr Madajczyk, rozwijana wówczas myśl zachodnia i cele narodowe były ważniejsze niż system polityczny i cele par- tyjne1. „Część historyków, zwłaszcza regionalistów [ale też publicystów, dzienni- karzy, literatów – dop. P.M.], bardziej ulegających oficjalnej propagandzie, tropiła gorliwie owe związki z Polską, zapominając że kraina ta przez pięćset z górą 1 P. Madajczyk, Polska myśl zachodnia w polityce komunistów polskich, „Przegląd Zachodni” 1997, z. 3, s. 15–36. 6 Paweł Migdalski lat była niemiecka”2. W ten sposób tworzono mitologię Ziem Odzyskanych, na które – jak wówczas głoszono – powróciliśmy po pokonaniu odwiecznego nie- mieckiego wroga prącego ku wschodowi3. Jedną z narracji tego mitu na Pomorzu Zachodnim był przekaz o pobycie w Szczecinku polskiej królewny, najstarszej córki Kazimierza Wielkiego i Aldony – Elżbiety, od 1343 roku żony Bogusława V, księcia wołogosko-słupskiego, pochowanej w klasztorze augustianów-eremi- tów w Marientronie – Świątkach, obecnie dzielnicy Szczecinka. Ślub królewny, jak podkreślano w literaturze, miał być wzmocnieniem sojuszu ostatniego Piasta z władcą Pomorza i być wyraźnym świadectwem jego polityki północno-zachod- niej4. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prześledzenie rozwoju narracji o Elżbiecie Kazimierzównie w Szczecinku w okresie Polski Ludowej. Pierwsze elementy pamięci o Elżbiecie pojawiają się tuż po wojnie. Wów- czas to, jako jeden z pierwszych etapów polonizacji przestrzeni, przypisywano polskie nazewnictwo miejscowościom i ulicom. Już w czerwcu 1945 roku sekre- tarz generalny Instytutu Zachodniego w Poznaniu Zdzisław Rajewski opracował program przemianowania ulic w miastach Ziem Odzyskanych, które miały upa- miętniać w reprezentacyjnych dzielnicach miejscowości imiona Piastów, ksią- żąt pomorskich oraz naczelników plemion zachodniej Słowiańszczyzny, a także polskich królów i wodzów5. Przed wojną w Szczecinku istniała ulica zasłużonej dla miasta, żyjącej w XVII wieku księżnej Jadwigi Brunszwickiej (żona księcia 2 E.

    New York College of Podiatric Medicine NYCPM NEWS FOOTPRINTS, VOL. 4 NO. 7, JULY 2017 My Two-Week Exchange in Poland By Sang Hyub Kim (’18) Rehabilitation Clinic – Ortopedicum. From left to right: Małgorzata Kulesa-Mrowiecka, MSc, PhD, the Deputy Director of the Institute of Physiotherapy of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Sang Hyub Kim, and Bożena Latała, Msc, the Chief of Rehabilitation Department in Ortopedicum. Sang Hyub Kim (’18) recently completed a two-week exchange in Poland at the Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie (Jagiellonian University in Kraków). Founded in 1364 by Kazimierz III Wielki (Casimir III the Great), Jagiellonian University is the oldest university in Poland. Halina M. Semla-Pulaski, MS, DPM (’89), a Trustee of the NYCPM, organized this exchange program. Dr. Semla-Pulaski developed contacts with the faculties through her mentor and friend, Jolanta Jaworek, MD, PhD. Dr. Jaworek was a former Dean of the Wydział Nauk o Zdrowiu (Department of Health and Sciences) and holds the highest title and distinction of “Profes- sor” in the Polish academia. Kim spent his first week in the Oddział Kliniczny Ortopedii i Rehabilitacji (Clinical Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation) of the University Hospital, shadowing orthopedic surgeons – Artur Gądek, MD, (Professor of Jagiellonian University), a hip and knee specialist and Henryk Liszka, MD, a foot and ankle specialist. Under the supervision of Dr. Liszka, Kim was allowed to scrub into several forefoot surgeries such as arthroplasty, percutaneous scarf and the Akin procedure. Moreover, Kim observed complicated cases including triple arthrodesis, clubfoot reconstruction, ankle arthroscopy and osteochondral lesion resection. In the second week, Kim visited few rehabilitation and physical therapy centers outside of the main cam- pus involved in the Institute of Physiotherapy at Jagiellonian University Collegium Medicum.

  • The Attractiveness of Court Culture During the Jagiellonian Era
    Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce PL ISSN 0029‑8514 Special Issue Małgorzata Wilska (Warsaw) The Attractiveness of Court Culture during the Jagiellonian Era Court culture is generated predominantly by the social milieu surround‑ ing the king and monarchic authority. The court guaranteed a suitable setting for all the activity of the monarch and royal accounts did not separate expenses for the private needs of the ruler and his family and those of a state character. The transmission of cultural values occurred everywhere where the king and court stayed: on the meadow where land court sessions were held, at the castle during a feast, at an assembly, in the course of a hunt, and along the entire route of the king’s entourage. It should be kept in mind that the governance of Władysław II Jagiełło and his successors involved incessant motion, a constant traversing across Polish lands from Cracow to Lithuania. The image of the king viewed directly was connected in social mentality with a model of the monarch moulded by tradition and court ideology. This image was composed of two overlapping visions: the sacrum and the profanum. The former demanded respect for the God’s anointed, and the latter rendered him closer to the perspective of the subjects and exposed him to criticism.1 Chronicles enable us seeing changes occurring in the ideology of power during the reign of the Piast dynasty. Casimir III the Great was already far from the image of the warrior‑king and defender of the homeland depicted by Gallus writing about Bolesław I the Brave.

Due to good deals based on relations he provided peace at the borders with the Kingdom of Bohemia and the state of the Teutonic Order (1343 Peace in Kalisz). Officially, he resigned from Silesia and Pomerania (he planned to regain these lands until the end of his life). In 1364 he organised the congress in Cracow (so‐called feast at Wierzynek's), in which emperor Charles IV of Luxembourg (king of Bohemia), Ludwig of Anjou, the king of Cyprus and numerous princess took part. The king was also a warrior and conqueror – he conquered numerous areas in Russia (Halich and Volhynia Rus, Podolia), and moreover imposed his authorities to the Mazovian Piasts. He died in 1370. He did not leave a legitimate male descendant. Exercise 1 Show the lands that were annexed to the Kingdom of Poland during the reign of Casimir III the Great.

  • The Congress of Visegrád in 1335 György RÁCZ
    ARTICLES 8 The Congress of Visegrád in 1335 György RÁCZ The Congress of Visegrád in 1335 György RÁCZ Magyar Nemzeti Leveltár National Archives of Hungary Bécsi Kapu tér 2-4, 1014 Budapest, Hungary [email protected] The Congress of Visegrád in 1335 was by far the biggest diplomatic event that took place in Central Europe in the first half of the 14th century. It must have been organized according to the choreography known for centuries, and since we hardly know anything about the details of the earlier congresses, it gives us information about the roots of the large international and political congresses of the Modern Age. The initiator and the choice of the location are extremely important; these matters are usually strongly related and can seldom be separated. It is notable how the negotiating parties changed documents at the end of the meetings and gave each other gifts, and the participating political dynasties consolidated their relationships through marital connections. It has also been observed that the negotiating parties arrived with a great retinue, and providing hospitality and entertainment was the task of the host. The sources The source characteristics can be considered poor compared to modern sources and as such, they do not help reveal the details. Over the course of many years of diplomatic procedures that involved a number of countries, a great many official documents have been produced, and usually exchanged – temporarily or permanently – by the negotiating parties. However, only a part of the original written sources has survived. For instance, the copies in Hungarian possession vanished completely during the destruction of the royal archives under Turkish rule.

It was the second university to be founded in Central Europe, after Prague in 1348. Casimir III the Great In 1400 the University was re-established owing to Queen Jadwiga, who pleaded its case with the Pope in Avignon and later bequeathed her personal effects to the University. The National Education Commission, and particularly its inspector, Hugo Kollataj, later the University Rector Queen Jadwiga managed to accomplish in 1777-1780 fundamental reforms at the University. A new organisational structure was introduced and a number of academic facilities were founded.

  • POLAND REVISITED Much of the Country Is on the North European
    POLAND REVISITED By Mike McPhee [This is the text of an Address at the Sydney Unitarian Church on 08 March 2020.] Poland is a country with a long history, glorious much of the time but with some tragic periods. With a popu- lation of 39 million, it is the sixth most populous country in the European Union and also the seventh largest in both area and GDP. Its capital, Warsaw has 1.8 million inhabitants and another six cities have populations between 400,000 and 800,000: Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk, and Szczecin. Much of the country is on the North European Plain, therefore largely flat and fertile, but most of its southern borders are mountainous with extensive foothills further north. Its main river is the Vistula, which crosses the entire country, but the Oder River flows through the southwest and then forms the border with Germany. (Both rivers have many tributaries, however, as can be seen on the map.) The region has been inhabited for at least 500,000 years and it became the centre of the Lusatian culture during the Bronze and Iron Ages (1300 – 500 BCE). While numerous Slavic tribes had arrived by then, there were other ethnicities present and archeologists are reluctant to speculate on who the Lusatians actually were. What is known is that they had pottery, metalwork, extensive agriculture and fortified settlements. By the 10th Century CE, Slavs were the dominant ethnicity in the region and the five major tribes were united by Duke Mieszko I of the Piast dynasty to form a Polish state whose borders were surprisingly similar to those of the present day.

  • POLISH ROYAL ANCESTRY Book 1 - Medieval Era (Abt
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY POLISH ROYAL ANCESTRY Book 1 - Medieval Era (abt. 800-1400) INTRODUCTION Poland has had a very tumultuous past involving several wars. It has been attacked by Tatars and Russians from the East, Turks and Austrians from the South, Teuotonic Knights and Prussians from the West and Swedes from the North. It has been occupied and divided countless times but always maintained a small but very patriotic core, which has made it possible to survive. I micro similarity to what has happened in Poland is how Berlin was divided in four zones after World War II. The information about our lineage from the Polish royalty is somewhat unique in that we are directly related to the rulers from the first one to the 12th generation (great grand parents) where our direct lineage branches away from the Polish. The subsequent rulers are thus cousins. Below is a list of the ancestors, those covered in the text are highlighted. In some cases the spouses are also highlighted, this indicated that we are related to them also, but from a different lineage. The lineage to us is listed at the end of this book. The era and the Piast dynasty, covered by Book 1 ends with Saint Hedwig (Jadwiga) King of Poland, who had no children. Note that although a female, she was designated “King” according to the Polish custom. Book 2 begins with her husband, Jogaila Wladyslaw II Jagiello King of Poland, who with his second wife was the first of the next Jagellonian dynasty. He is not a direct ancestor for us, but we do have a common ancestor, Vladimir II "Monomach" Grand Duke of Kiev, my 26th great grand father.
