Here's an article about the dragon
The Wawel Dragon (Polish: Smok Wawelski), also known as the Dragon of Wawel Hill, is a famous dragon in Polish legend.
According to the earliest account (13th century), a dragon (holophagos, "one who swallows whole") plagued the capital city of Kraków established by legendary King Krak (or Krakus, Gracchus, etc.). The man-eating monster was being appeased with a weekly ration of cattle, until finally being defeated by the king's sons using decoy cows stuffed with sulfur. But the younger prince ("Krak the younger" or "Krak junior") murdered his elder brother to take sole credit, and was banished afterwards. Consequently Princess Wanda had to succeed the kingdom. Later in a 15th-century chronicle, the prince-names were swapped, with the elder as "Krak junior" and the younger as Lech. It also credited the king himself with masterminding the carcasses full of sulfur and other reagents. A yet later chronicler (Marcin Bielski, 1597) credited the stratagem to a cobbler named Skub (Skuba), adding that the "Dragon's Cave" (Polish: Smocza Jama) lay beneath Wawel Castle (on Wawel Hill on the bank of the Vistula River).
The oldest known telling of the story comes from the 13th-century work attributed to Bishop of Kraków and historian of Poland, Wincenty Kadłubek.[1][2]
Polish Chronicle (13th c.)
According to Wincenty Kadłubek's Polish Chronicle, a dragon appeared during the reign of King Krak (Latin: Grakchus,[3][4] recté Gracchus[5][6]).
St. Wincenty's original Latin text actually refers to the dragon as holophagus'[7] (Polish gloss: całożerca, wszystkożerca;[8] "one who swallows whole"), which was a neologism he had coined.[9] In Polish translation of the work, the monster is rendered as the "greedily swallowing dragon" (Polish: chciwie połykał smok).[10]
It was a "terrible and cruel beast" dwelling "in the depths [windings/curves] of a certain rock (scopulus)"[7][11] or emended to "a certain cave (spelunca)"[12] according to Wincenty.[a]
The dragon required a weekly offering of cattle, or else humans would have been devoured instead. In the hope of killing the dragon, Krak called upon his two sons[b]. They could not, however, defeat the creature by hand, so they came up with a trick. They fed him a cattle skin stuffed with smoldering sulfur, causing his fiery death.[13] After the success, the younger prince (referred to as the "junior Gracchus"; Latin: iunior Gracchus var. minor Gracchus,[15] i.e. Krak II; Polish: młodsy Grakus[10]) kills his elder brother blaming the dragon for the death. But his crime was soon revealed, and he got expelled from the country. Afterwards Princess Wanda had to accede to the kingship
Among later chronicles derived from Wincenty Kadłubek's work, Chronicle of Greater Poland (<1296)[c] fails to make mention of the dragon at all, while the Dzierzwa Chronicle [pl] (or Mierzwa Chronicle; Kronika Dzierzwy/Kronika Mierzwy, 14th century) followed closely after Wincenty.[18] Both these chronicles maintain that Krak, Jr. is the younger prince, and keep the elder brother nameless.[13][14]
Jan Długosz's 15th-century chronicle,[19] however, swapped the roles of the princes, claiming that the younger son named Lech was the killer, while the elder son named Krak, Jr. became the victim.[14][18] The idea for the scheme to slay the dragon (olophagus) is credited to King Krak himself, not his sons, because the king fears a mass exodus from the city may take place,[20][18] and he orders to have the carcass stuffed with flammable substances, namely sulfur, tinder (Polish: próchno; Latin: cauma[d]), wax, pitch, and tar and set them on fire.[1] The dragon ate the burning meal and died breathing fire just before death. Długosz also adds the detail that the dragon lived in a cave of Mount Wawel upon which King Krak had built his castle.[20][18][e] In any case, the fratricide is banished, so their sister Princess Wanda must accede to the throne.
@jackoberto01
Honestly a bit surprised about Krakow. I visted Poland a few years ago and went to both Krakow and Warsaw. Warsaw being much bigger made it feel like more of a tourist destination. Krakow had a lot of tourist attractions though like the wieliczka salt mines not far from it and Wawel castle
@josefdrapak1889
Killed me a bit on the inside how you considered Prague could be in Croatia, but then I noticed your channel name lol
