Notes

Siemomysl or Ziemomysl (died c.?950–960[1]) was the third pagan Polans duke of the 
Piast dynasty, and the father of Poland's first Christian ruler, Mieszko I. He was listed 
by Gallus Anonymous in his Gesta principum Polonorum and was the son of Lestek, 
the second known Duke of the Polans. According to Gallus' account and historical 
research, Siemomysl has been credited with leaving the lands of Polans, Goplans and 
Masovians to his son Mieszko I, who further expanded them during his reign.[2]

According to modern Polish historian Henryk Lowmianski, Siemomysl aided the Ukrani 
uprising against the Germans in 954 AD.

He supposedly reigned from around 930 (although some historians believe that he 
reigned from around 950). Siemomysl united the lands of Polanie, Goplanie, and 
Mazowszanie (however, some historians think that perhaps his father did it first). His 
burial place is unknown.

Siemomysl's wife (or wives) is unknown. There is a theory that Wlodzislaw's (prince of 
the Ledzianie tribe) daughter could have been Siemomysl's wife, but there is no 
historical evidence to support this. Formerly it was thought that his wife was named 
Gorka, but Oswald Balzer refuted this view in 1895.
