Summary/Abstract: The article sets out the reasons why Mieszko I is the first ruler of the Piast dynasty, and not one of his legendary ancestors listed in the Chronicle of Gall Anonim. The oldest sources informing about the initial actions of Mieszko I, Vidukind story of the tragic death of Vihman, three fragments from the chronicle of Tetmar and passages, concerning Mieszko, from “Book of Roads and Kingdoms” by Al-Bekri, are analyzed.
