Following the death of Bolesław III in 1138 Poland was
devided in dukedoms, according to his testament.
Masovia was one of these duchies, and it was governed by a branch of the
Piast dynasty till 1526. In 1351 the dukes of
Mazovia became
vasals of the Polish kings. And the
Masovian bishopric of
Plock was always part of the Polish
archidiocese of
Gniezno. Since the
Polish-Lithuanian Union of 1385 it was localized between the joined
Jagiellonian states. It is now located in
east-central Poland and it's largest city Warsaw is also a Polish capital.
