Polish • prince of the house of Piast
Lambert Mieszkowic Piast
Polish: książę Lambert Mieszkowic Piast, Czech: kníže Lambert Mieszkowic Piast
Birthdate:981
Birthplace:Gniezno, Gniezno County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Death:May 10, 1018 (36-37)
Merseburg, SA, Germany
Immediate Family:
Son of Mieszko I and Oda von Haldensleben
Husband of NN3 Piast
Father of Zemuzil/Siemomysl Piast
Lambert was the fourth son of Mieszko I of Poland, the third born from his second marriage with Oda, daughter of Dietrich of Haldensleben, Margrave of the North March.
Nothing is known about his early years.
Lambert's first appearance was in the document called "Dagome iudex" (ca. 991–92), along with his parents and brother Mieszko.
After Mieszko I's death (25 May 992), the war began between Bolesław I and his half-brothers for the paternal heritage.
The length of the dispute is in doubt.
Some historians believe the dispute lasted only a few weeks and, according to others, ended in 995.
Despite the tensions between both parties, Bolesław I's first son with Emnilda of Lusatia was probably named after him.
It's expected that the choice of this name for his son was an expression of warming relations between Bolesław I and his stepmother Oda.
In the end, Bolesław I took control of the country and expelled his stepmother and half-brothers from Poland to Germany.
Lambert's further fate is unknown.
Previously, he was identified with Lambert, Bishop of Kraków (d. 1030), but now this identification is contested.
