About this listen

Bolesław takes a break from his on-again, off-again war with the Holy Roman Empire to take up arms and invade the territory of the Kievan Rus. Along with his army, his mercenaries, and his ill-advised son-in-law Sviatapolk, Bolesław conquers the city of Kiev.

His reign doesn't last for long, but it's a memorable episode in Bolesław's life.

This is not dry boring facts. It’s a story.

The author has made the historical figures really come to life and the historical events are interesting in that context. I also enjoy the narrative style.
