Screenshot from my video series on history of Poland. Mess of feudally fragmented Silesia in 1323, just a few years prior to Bohemia vassalasing most of those petty Piast duchies.
This one took a lot of work. Political map of Poland and neighbours during the period of feudal fragmentation, from death of Bolesław III the Wrymouth (1138) to crowning of Władysław I Elbow-High (1320). Each border change, year by year.
Thanks - that's just a footsoldier, various Grand Dukes are more elaborate. ;)
I plan to open new channel with English version of my materials (maps/text/narration) in 2017. Just have to polish my English a little bit, since I haven't spoken it in years. ;)
Latest snapshot from my ongoing YouTube series on history of Poland. I'm going very in depth in these, including literally every border change that occurs across the years. So if anyone needs help with OTL medieval Poland and it's shitloads of minor duchies and stuff, I can help. ;)
If you could understand Polish you may check my channel and my CK2 megacampaign. ;) As for paradox games, quill18 is my favourite, not sure if he records CK2 though.

Yeah. Though I may wed my heir to Karling king of remnant Great Moravia (her kids would inherit these two provinces at the cost of dynasty change). Other interesting things from this play-through are:
- Knights Hospitalier monastic state in Ukraine (which lately secularised most of it's lands...
Some pics from my ongoing let's play series. I've made extended portraits in Photoshop using combination of my M2TW mod 3d models and some 2d techniques. I'm roleplaying heavily, so it's not typical 'let's blob' playthrough. ;)
Yeah, that's what I assumed - Silesian Piasts eventually besting their Masovian kin in the struggle for Polish crown. Mongols targeting Masovia instead of Silesia would very likely help with that.
What? Russia didn't exist at a time, and Prussia was a Polish vassal.
Possible PoDs:
12th century - No feudal fragmentation by Boleslaw III Wrymouth - this can keep early medieval Poland united, most likely keeping Silesia and Pomerania. Standing better chances against Mongols, and...
