Between the middle of theth century and the middle of theth century both the cultural and the national identities of the Poles were formed.
They were determined by political decisions made by the rulers from the Piast ruling house and built on a framework consisting of stories focused on the Piasts past.
In all of this a dynastic tradition supported by the current ruler and his entourage was created and recreated.
Tradition was understood as communication, the aim of which was to transmit values which define ways of perceiving the world by those people who accept this tradition as their own by the Poles.
The aim of the work is to seek traces of these traditions and values still alive in Polish culture.
