Svatopluk I – a prince or a king? The question of legitimizing Great Moravian princes in medieval and modern historiography
Based on a comparison of the contemporary Annals of Fulda, Annals of St. Bertin, Chronicle of Regino and papal letters, the author analyses the position of the Moravian prince Svatopluk I (871-894). Through the comparison of Svatopluk with his contemporaries, princes of Brittany, the analysed texts are further studied in the framework of the Carolingian policy and political thinking.
