Vistulans

Vistulans

Vistulans ( _pl. Wiślanie) were a Lechitic tribe inhabiting, since at least the 7th century, lands known today as Lesser Poland. In the 9th century, Vistulans created a tribal state, with major centers in Kraków, Wiślica, Sandomierz, and Stradów. Probably around 874 they were subjugated by the Great Moravian king Svatopluk I, who was a contemporary of the emperor Arnulf, and the Vistulan duke was forced to accept baptism. After a later period of Czech domination, the Vistulan lands became controlled by the Polans in late 10th century and were incorporated into Poland.
