The province of Great Poland in western central Poland is the cradle of
the Polish kingdom and its main city Poznan functioned as Poland's capitol
until 1038. The city of Gniezno was also important since Poland's arch
bishop resided there since the creation of the diocese in the year 1000.
Great Poland became a separate principality in 1138 when Poland was
partitioned between the sons of Boleslaw III. Great Poland it self was later
also divided into minor principalities from time to time. These were Poznan, Gniezno
and Kalisz. In the early 14th century became Great Poland a part of the
restored Polish kingdom.
