Editing Dagome iudex (section)

==Notes==
{{refbegin}}
Notes based on interpretations by the Polish historian [[Gerard Labuda]]:

''a.''{{Note label|a|a|none}} When Lusatia came in sight of medieval writers, the {{ill|Lusici (tribe)|de|Lusitzi|lt=Lusici}} lived only in [[Lower Lusatia]], the [[Milceni]] in [[Upper Lusatia]]. Later on, the term ''Lusatia'' (Lausitz, Lužice) was spread to the south. Therefore, nowaday's term [[Lusatian Mountains]] does not totally fit with the history of settlement.

''b.''{{Note label|b|b|none}} "Dagome" is commonly identified as [[Mieszko I of Poland|Mieszko I]]. However, the question remains open whether this was a misspelling or his Christian name. If the latter, it might correspond to the names "[[Dago (name)|Dago]]", "[[Dagon]]" or "[[Dagobert]]".

''c.''{{Note label|c|c|none}} In classical Latin, the term ''iudex'' was used to refer to "a person who is ordered to do some work on behalf of others" and was identical in meaning to the Byzantine ''[[archont]]''. However, in medieval Latin ''iudex'' could also mean a sovereign ruler. Princes of [[Slavs|Slavic]] tribes were sometimes referred to as ''iudices''.  Nevertheless,  some historians claim that this was a misspelling of the Latin ''[[dux]]'' ("duke" or "prince").

''d.''{{Note label|d|d|none}} Literally, "lady-senator".  Cf. "[[senate]]".

''e.''{{Note label|e|e|none}} It is unclear why [[Bolesław I the Brave]], Mieszko's eldest son and his successor, is not mentioned while the children from Mieszko's marriage to Ote are.

''f.''{{Note label|f|f|none}} Scribe's note, only in the Vatican copy; the four is written non-classical as iiii.

''g.''{{Note label|g|g|none}} The origin of the name ''Schinesghe'' is unclear. Some historians argue that it is a corruption of "[[Gniezno]]", then Poland's capital. Others identify it with the town of [[Szczecin]].

''h.''{{Note label|h|h|none}} "Long sea":  Some historians identify it with the [[Baltic Sea]], others with the province of [[Pomerania]] (the Baltic coast), a part of Poland ca. 990.

''i.''{{Note label|i|i|none}} ''Alemure'' might be the city of [[Olomouc]], in [[Moravia]]. However, this is uncertain.
