Abstract:

For many centuries, the Piast dynasty maintained wide contacts with the ruling courts of Europe. The representatives of the Piast dynasty had many opportunities to gain social and foreign language skills but also to participate in organised forms of education. The Piasts’ education was complemented by scientific trips, undertaken by numerous princes in such form as pilgrimages and crusades. The aim of the paper is to present a group of descendants of Mieszko I and Doubravka of Bohemia, living in the period from the 10th to the beginning of the 17th century, who started their careers at European universities. With time and with the intellectual development of Europe, the model of educating princes and kings became a permanent part of the model of schooling, which was associated with the increasing number of stays of the Piasts at European universities.
