Czcibor

  Notater:

Czcibor (Latin: Cidebur; died after 972) was a Polan prince of the Piast dynasty, son of duke Siemomysl, and a younger brother of the first Christian ruler of Poland duke Mieszko I of Poland.

According to E. Rymar (2005), Czcibor may have been a governor of Pomerania after Mieszko I's conquest of that Slavic tribes territory from around 967 AD. In the Medieval sources he is mentioned but once in the Chronicon by Thietmar of Merseburg in relationship with the Poland's victorious battle of Cedynia. He is thought to have been either the commander or one of the principal Polish leaders, along with his brother Mieszko, in the battle of Cedynia in 972 AD, and Thietmar is the source of his presence at the battle. His presence at Cedynia might have been based not only on his status as war leader and brother of the Polish ruler, but also by his position as 'governor' of conquered/annexed Pomerania. His date of birth and death are unknown, his family: mother, wife or wives (he was most likely a pagan until 966 AD), and children are also unknown
