The Retaking of Ruthenia. Wealth and Education. A.D. 1366

The Retaking of Ruthenia. Wealth and Education. A.D. 1366

The great state thoughts of Chrobry, revived in the last of the Piasts, Casimir t.G., as in none before him.

The great builder and legislator, defender of the oppressed, turned eastwards towards Ruthenia, then under the control of Norman-pagan Lithuania.

The triple expedition of Casimir made it possible to decorate the Piast eagle with four districts of lands of Ruthenian coats of arms: Halych, Volhynia, Belz and Przemyśl.

The king, recalling the words of his pledged faithfulness, giving assurance of the rights of equality, casts a ring into a gap in the foundation stones of the church.

Next to the stonemasons, protégés of the King, the peasant, now protected by law, knelt freely.

The Jews, having received the approval of the privilege of Bolesław of Kalisz, worship Jehovah and praise the magnificence of the king.

Marshal Zbigniew of Brzezie and Leliwita Melsztyński share the thought of the future governor of Ruthenia, the armed Wladyslaw Opolczyk, to have the Virgin Mary's image transferred from Belz to Jasna Góra in Częstochowa.
