Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lestek
Lestek (also Leszek, Lestko) was the legendary second duke of Poland, and son of
Siemowit, born c. 870–880. Although proof of his actual existence is unclear, if he did
exist, he must have been an influential person, because the tribes that lived in
present-day Poland were known as Lestkowici.[citation needed]
The origin of his name is not known, it can be derived from the old Polish word lscie
which means "crafty". It is believed this is a diminutive of the Slavic name Lscimir or
Lscislaw. Lestek's wife (or wives or consorts) is unknown. A theory by Stanislaw
Zakrzewski claims Lestek (or Lestko) could have been married to a Moravian princess.
Another theory (inferred from the descriptions of a Belgian chronicler from the 14th
century) is that a Saxon princess could have been Lestek's wife and that they had a
son, Ewraker, later the Bishop of Leodium. Lestko's son, Siemomysl, was the next ruler
of the early pagan Polish state.[citation needed]
