Luksemburgowie na Śląsku w ocenie polskich historyków | The Luxembourgs in Silesia as assessed by Polish historians

Abstract

The author seeks to develop an understanding how Polish historians perceived the presence of the Luxembourgs in Silesia and to follow the evolution of this perception. The incorporation of Silesia into the Lands of the Crown of Bohemia in the 14th century aroused a lively interest in historians. An outline of historiographic views shows the dependence of the researchers on time and place in which their evaluation was made. The authors often mounted arguments in an emotive unscholarly fashion. At present, however, there is a rational and balanced approach to this theme among the Polish researchers.
