Przemysl II
Przemysl II (1257-1296), the prince of Poznan, he followed in the footsteps
of many of his predecessors in efforts to reunify the Polish state.
In 1290, he conducted a treaty with the dying prince of Cracow,
Henry Probus, who had tried to get the crown from the pope. Under this
treaty, he took over the Cracow province, but was defeated by
Wenceslas II
of Bohemia. He therefore concentrated his efforts on Great Poland, and was
supported by an outstanding politician, the archbishop of Gniezno, Jakub
Swinka. In 1294, Przemysl incorporated Gdansk Pomerania, and in 1295 had
himself crowned king of Poland in the former Polish capital, Gniezno.
This first coronation after almost 200 years had a considerable significance
for the unification of the Polish state. A year later Przemysl was
murdered, probably by hostile agents of the March of Brandenburg.
