Radim Gaudentius
Radim Gaudentius ( cs, Svatý Radim, pl, Radzim Gaudenty) (c. 970 – c. 1020) was Archbishop of Gniezno and the first Polish archbishop. Background Radim was an illegitimate son of White Croatian Prince Slavník, and thus the half-brother of Adalbert of Prague. In 989, the two journeyed to Rome where they joined the Benedictine monastery of Sts. Boniface and Alexius on the Aventine, with Radim adopting the name Gaudencius or Gaudentius. He accompanied Adalbert on his fatal journey to Prussia in 997. Surviving the mission fatal to his half-brother, back in Rome he related the events of the journey to Abbot John Canaparius, who wrote a biography of Adalbert, and worked to promote his canonization. Historians are not certain with regards to his date of death, suggesting a range of 1006 to 1022. His date of birth is also an estimate, in the range of late 960s to early 970s. In Czech Republic he is commemorated as Saint Radim in the national liturgical calendar The ...

Primate (bishop)
Primate () is a title or rank bestowed on some important archbishops in certain Christian churches. Depending on the particular tradition, it can denote either jurisdictional authority (title of authority) or (usually) ceremonial precedence (title of honour). Roman Catholic Church In the Western Church, a primate is an archbishop—or, rarely, a suffragan or exempt bishop—of a specific (mostly metropolitan) episcopal see (called a ''primatial see'') who has precedence over the bishoprics of one or more ecclesiastical provinces of a particular historical, political or cultural area. Historically, primates of particular sees were granted privileges including the authority to call and preside at national synods, jurisdiction to hear appeals from metropolitan tribunals, the right to crown the sovereign of the nation, and presiding at the investiture (installation) of archbishops in their sees. The office is generally found only in older Catholic countries, and is now ...

Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth
The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, formally known as the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and, after 1791, as the Commonwealth of Poland, was a bi-confederal state, sometimes called a federation, of Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Lithuania ruled by a common Monarchy, monarch in real union, who was both King of Poland and List of Lithuanian monarchs, Grand Duke of Lithuania. It was one of the largest and most populous countries of 16th- to 17th-century Europe. At its largest territorial extent, in the early 17th century, the Commonwealth covered almost and as of 1618 sustained a multi-ethnic population of almost 12 million.

Piotr Łabędź
Piotr Łabędzi (died 20 August 1198) was a Catholic Bishop of Poznań and Archbishop of Gniezno. He was commonly mistaken for his predecessor, the Blessed Bogumił (as Bogumił-Piotr), but recent studies classify them as two different people. Łabędzi most likely came from the powerful Łabędzi family. Nothing is known about his life before consecration. A few years after becoming bishop, he was promoted to Archbishop of Gniezno Gniezno (; german: Gnesen; la, Gnesna) is a city in central-western Poland, about east of Poznań.

Marcin (archbishop Of Gniezno)
Martin or Martin of Gniezno (died after 1112) was a medieval prelate based in Principality of Poland. He was Archbishop of Gniezno, head of the Polish church, from ca. 1092/99 until 1112/27. The preface of the ''Gesta principum Polonorum'', the anonymous historical narrative whose author is usually referred to as Gallus Anonymus, begins with an address to Archbishop Martin. Martin, as the chief churchman of the principality, was heavily involved in Polish politics in the era. He is thought to have mediated between Zbigniew and Bolesław III Wrymouth, and between these two princes and their father Władysław I Herman, in their disputes. Archbishop Martin probably favoured Zbigniew, this alliance leading to Martin's incarceration by Bolesław when the latter marched on his residence at Spycimierz Spycimierz is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Uniejów, within Poddębice County, Łódź Voivodeship, in central Poland.

Heinrich Von Wülzburg
Heinrich von Wülzburg was a German Benedictine monk, abbot of the monastery of Wülzburg and Archbishop of Gniezno in Poland. According to the fourteenth-century life of Otto of Bamberg Heinrich arrived in Poland among the entourage of Otto of Bamberg. However, Jan Długosz, writing in 15th century and ''Gesta principum Polonorum'' do not reference him and there is some question about whether Heinrich was actually bishop. Modern scholarship has been divided on his historicity, as he is mentioned in a single 12th-century source (Ebbo Bambergensis' ''Vita Ottonis episcopi Bambergensi'') and not in any other contemporary sources, including documents related to the Gniezno archbishopric. None of the old catalogs of the archbishops of Gniezno mentions him, nor does Jan Dlugosz know about him. Among the historians who accept his historicity there is no agreement on his dates of birth, death, origin ( Wülzburg is only one of the possible renderings of his origin; others include for ...
