RESEARCH NOTES:
c960-992: Prince of Poland [Ref: Tapsell p266]
964-992: Duke of Poland [Ref: Moncreiffe p94]

descended from semi-legendary Prince PIAST [Ref: Moncreiffe p94]

a Danish Viking, aka Dag, founded the polish state on the Oden about 960,
where he is known as Mieseyslaw I [Ref: Moriarty p83]

converted to Christianity [Ref: Moncreiffe p94]

The name Dago or Dagon for Mieszko appears only once - in a circa 991 document
(known as "Dagome iudex" from the initial words) in which the town of Gniezno
is presented to Rome (most probably in ecclesiastical sense as Gniezno was the
archbishopric). The original document is now believed to be lost but was seen
in Italy in the 19th c, and is known from several later summaries. As for the
name itself is concerned, it is now generally believed by Polish medievalists
to have been Mieszko's baptismal name (he accepted Christianity in 966) and
therefore was used in a church-related document. [Ref: Prinke 3/3/97]
