History
Early history
The first ruler of Masovia was probably
Mieszko - the first historically known
Piast duke of the
Polans in the
10th century. After the chaos following the death of
Mieszko II in
1034 and the subsequent invasion by the ruler it was subdued by
Casimir I of the
Kingdom of Poland in
1047 with help from
Ruthenian units.
Duchy of Masovia
Following the death of
Bolesław III Masovia was governed by his son
Bolesław IV, the later high-duke of Poland, and other
dukes of Masovia from the local branch of the
Piast dynasty. The 'Duchy of Masovia' (''Księstwo Mazowieckie'') was not incorporated into the
Polish kingdom until the death of the last regional duke in
1526.
Modern history
Following the
partitions of Poland of the
18th century, Masovia became part of
Congress Poland in
1815 and the
Imperial Russia in
1831. In
1918 Masovia was included within the newly formed
Second Polish Republic.
In
1999 the
Masovian Voivodeship was created as one of
16 administrative regions of Poland.
