Summary/Abstract: One of the many consequences of the baptism of Mieszko I was the entrance of our nation in the area of the christianitas culture. Henceforth, its boundaries in the history of Poland were determined through three very important factors: the cathedral, which generated the harmonious cooperation of secular and spiritual spheres; university, which led to the synthesis of faith and reason, and transformed the tradition of Roman law through the spirit of the Gospel; chivalric ethos, understood not as one’s skill with a sword but a code of conduct in the spirit of honor, loyalty and help provided to the weak.
