This part of forum was dead for a while, so I thought making a thread for all those historicians who want to share their knowledge with others would be a good idea.
So, in this thread, we post interesting facts about history of our countries (I assume, that anyone who studies, have to learn more about his country than the other)
So, to start that, I've got a bunch of the oldest Polish legends:
- Mieszko I, first Christian ruler of Poland who brought the religion from Czech Kingdom by marriage, was, as chronicles say, blind until his seventh birthday.
- In the legend of Lech, Czech and Rus, Lech wasn't sure where to start building, until he saw a white eagle in his nestle (so they killed him) and built there a grod called Gniezno, from Polish "gniazdo", that means nestle.
- Remember the basilisk from the Stare Master (first season)? He scared people of Krakow, living underground, turning every living thing into stone, until he saw his own stare in the mirror (as my cryptozoology books say, basilisks are born only once per a century in the number of one from the... Ehm... Cock's egg, fertilized by snake.)
I have way more things to share, but I am very curious about your countries' history and legends.

Oh no. We are doomed.
