Testament Of Bolesacaw Iii Krzywousty

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Testament of Boles¿aw III Krzywousty was a political act of Boles¿aw III Krzywousty, High Duke of Poland, in which he established rules for governance of the Kingdom of Poland by his sons after his death. By issuing it, Boles¿aw planned to guarantee that his heirs would not fight among themselves, and would preserve the unity of his lands under the House of Piast. However, he failed; soon after his death his sons fought each other, and Poland entered a period of fragmentation lasting about 200 years. Boles¿aw III issued the document around 1115-1118 (between the birth of his son Leszek and the rebellion of Skarbimir); it would be enacted upon his death in 1138. Casimir II the Just was not assigned any province; it is speculated that he was born after Boles¿aw's death, or he was destined for a religious career.
