About me I have discovered something truly amazing! It turns out that medieval merchants were true masters of marketing - they made us believe that wizards existed! It's just a shame that none of us have ever met such a gnome or seen a flying broomstick. And as for history... did you know that our Polish king, Mieszko II, had a really bad day when he was "castrated for fun"? Even Gall Anonim records: "Mieszko II cried along with poor Poland, for what else was left?". Such were the times! Mieszko I with the face of a confident player who has just made the perfect move. In the background you can see a map of medieval Europe, and Mieszko symbolically marks his place on this map. In the picture, the Teutonic Knights look triumphantly towards the enemy, but in the distance you can see Jagiello's mighty army, ready to attack. Jagiello stands at the head, with a 'plot twist' smile on his face.
Otto III and Bolesław Chrobry smile at each other, and Otto hands Chrobry the spear of St Maurice as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world. In the background you can see the majestic Gniezno Cathedral. Casimir the Great stands with an architectural plan, a construction site can be seen around him. In the background, unfinished wooden buildings and Casimir, with a stone in his hand, prepares to brick. Casimir the Great sits at a desk full of parchments and books, pen in hand. On his face is an expression of determination, and above his head a balloon with the thought "It's time to get it right".
Jadwiga and Ladislaus Jagiello stand in front of a map of Europe, on which their newly formed state occupies a huge part. Jagiello looks at Jadwiga with a smile, as if to say: "That was a clever move." The picture shows the giant castle of Malbork, with the small houses of the townsfolk next to it. The Teutonic builder proudly shows off the castle, while the neighbours look on in disbelief and with a hint of envy.
