Two independent sources report that Prince Lev intended to gain power in Kraków by force in 1280. The first is the Ruthenian Galician-Volhynian Chronicle, the second is the Latin text which is the common basis of the Dzierzwa Chronicle and the Annals of Traska. Researchers have wrongly considered this detail to be reliable. In both sources, Prince Lev is portrayed in a bad light and the plan to illegally seize power in Kraków is taken as one piece of evidence for Lev's wickedness. It seems much more likely, therefore, that the authors of these sources had malicious intent, and Lev's aspiration to control Krakow was falsely attributed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
