Slawomir (Moravian)


Sławomir (or Spytimir) was in 871 for a short time the ruler of the Great Moravian state.

In 870, East German king Ludwik Niemiec supported the revolt of Swietopeł I (Prince of Nitra) against his uncle and ruler of the Great Moravian state Rościsław. Rościsław was captured, given to the Eastern Franks and blinded. The Franks decided to take over power in Great Moravia, which Swietlikłk wanted also. The protests against the occupation of the state and the establishment of two Franciscan Margrave Wilhelm II and Engelszalka I as regents of the Moroccan I became the cause of the imprisonment of Svetopel. After Szpilanak was imprisoned, rumors spread that he had died. At that time the Moravian nobles began to search for his successor. They chose his relative aristocrat and priest Slawomir. Slawomir did not initially want to take over power in the Great Moravian State, but after being threatened with death, he bowed.

In 871, a folk uprising broke out in Great Moravia against the enforced power of the Franco. Sławomir stood at his head. He organized a war expedition against the margraves Wilhelm and Engelszalek and drove them out of the occupied areas.

At that time, the Franks released Swietopek from prison. He was gifted with royal gifts and he established that, as evidence of fidelity, he would lead a war expedition against the uprising in Great Moravia. Upon arriving in Great Moravia, Świętopełk went to the insurgents. Sławomir renounced the power in favor of Svetopole and returned to the state of the priesthood.
