•  Dagome iudex

  "Dagome iudex" is the name applied to one of the earliest documents believed to relate to Poland. "Poland" is not mentioned by that name, but reference is made to Dagome and Ote and their sons in 991, placing their territory (the "state in whole which is called Schinesghe") under the protection of the Apostolic See. The document's name derives from two of its opening words.

•  Congress of Gniezno

  The Congress of Gniezno took place on March 11, 1000. Scholars disagree over the details of the decisions made at the meeting, especially whether the ruler of Poland was pledged the king's crown or not. After his death in 997 AD during a mission in pagan Prussia, Adalbert of Prague was soon made a saint by the common effort of Boleslaus I of Poland and Otto III. Thus, Adalbert was the first Slavic bishop who became a saint.

•  Veche

  Veche was a popular assembly in medieval Slavic countries, and in late medieval period. Veche can be compared to the ecclesia of Classical Athens and other Old Greek polises. The word is inherited from Proto-Slavic *větje, meaning 'council' or 'talk' (which is also represented in the word "soviet", both ultimately deriving from Proto-Slavic verbal stem of *větiti 'to talk, speak'). The semantic derivation that yields the meaning of the word under consideration is parallel to that of parliament.
