- Mieszko II Lambert
- Bezprym
- Casimir I the Restorer
- Boleslaus II the Generous
- Wladislaus I Herman
- Zbigniew
- Boleslaus III the Wrymouth
- The official language: Latin (written), Polish (spoken)

- The political system: the military dictatorship, where the king was supposed to respect traditional customs of people.
- The inheritance rule: all sons of the King have equal rights to the throne (the stronger becomes the king).
