Symbol realnej władzy czy polityczna propaganda? Geneza i zmiany tytulatury stosowanej w dokumentach Mikołaja I opawskiego
Symbol of Power or Political Propaganda? The Origin and Changes of the Titles Used in Nicholas I of Opava’s Documents

Summary/Abstract: In the article, the author tried to present the origins of the princely title of Nicholas I of Opava and the subsequent forms of titles that he adopted in close relation to the events in his biography and the history of the Opava district from 1278 to 1309. Given that the author intended to depict the conscious and purposeful policy of Nicholas I, the entire premise of the article is based on documents (and titles) that were undoubtedly introduced and used purposefully on the duke’s initiative. Thus, titles appearing in chronicles and documents issued by foreign chancelleries are mentioned here only as supplementary information.
