…Lesser Poland, the 'senior palatinate', comprising the areas around Kraków, Łęczyca, and Sieradz.
To prevent his four sons from quarreling, Bolesław had granted one province to each of them, and the fifth one, the senior palatinate, was to be given to the eldest brother on the grounds of primogeniture.
