Merseburg exit 1032

Merseburg Convention 1032 - Meeting of Emperor Konrad II and claimants to the throne of Poland on 7 July 1032.

Causes

In 1032 Prince Nawrym was murdered, ruling Poland after the escape of his half-brother Mieszko II. Poland remained without a ruler. The lieutenants of the throne stayed outside the country: Mieszko II, after escaping from Poland in 1031, was imprisoned by the Czech prince Uldaryk, while his younger brother Otto was in Germany at the time. The emperor organized a new military expedition to Poland in 1032. Its range and mileage is unknown. It is known, however, that Mieszko II returned from Czech slavery at the time.

In order to remain in the country, in the face of the decline of his half-brother and the reaction of the heathen, he had to rely on the emperor, and thus led to an encounter in Merseburg with all the throngs of emperors. This meeting, as Gerard Labuda states: There is no doubt that Mieszko came to Merseburg not at all voluntarily, but under the threat of a renewed German invasion. Hildesheim annals describe this event as follows: Assembly and its provisions

The congress was held on February 7, 1032. Mieszko II, in a hopeless situation, agreed to surrender the royal crown (crowned 25 December 1025) and to the division of the state. Emperor decided that Mieszko would occupy Malopolska and Mazovia, his younger brother Otto Silesia, and most likely the son, one of the Chrobry brothers: Mieszko or Lambert, Dytryk was to occupy the former state of Gniezno, Wielkopolska. These are the presumed areas that princes have received, since source information has not been preserved. After the Convention

In 1033 he died probably childless and in a free state of Otto, while Mieszko II took over his district. In the same year he also expelled Dytryka and consequently united the country. Sam died on 10th or 11th May 1034. Bibliography

José René "Pupo" Román Fernández (died 1961) - Dominican general. Curriculum vitae In the Dominican history, when the dictatorial president Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was in power, Roman was his niece's husband and "third person in the state" (Trujillo and SIM Arturo Espaillata). He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler. The fragment of the Megasthenes (IV-III century BC) preserved in fragments can be seen in the underground mines at the foot of the mountains on the easte...

The information contained herein was related to the characteristics of the place (eg appearance), important road directions (geographic orientation) or values, functions and economic meanings called places / objects in the settlement for the inhabitants' lives.
