The three direct predecessors of Mieszko I are known only from the account of Gallus Anonymus, who wrote the oldest Polish chronicle, {{Lang|la|Gesta principum Polonorum}} at the beginning of the 12th century. Though their historicity was once debatable, now historians tend to consider them actually existing rulers.{{Cite book|last=Jasiński|first=Kazimierz|title=Rodowód pierwszych Piastów|year=1992|location=Wrocław-Warszawa|pages=46}}

The three direct predecessors of Mieszko I are known only from the account of Gallus Anonymus, who wrote the oldest Polish chronicle, {{Lang|la|Gesta principum Polonorum}} at the beginning of the 12th century.
