Illustrations

edit

The two illustrations, "The hacking to pieces of Saint Stanisław" and "Saint Stanisław leads Piotr before the royal tribunal," are out of correct sequence and should be reversed. logologist|Talk 09:11, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

This article says that his relics were translated to Wawel Cathedral in 1088, but this source (Google Books limited preview) says that they were taken there in 1245. --Delirium (talk) 05:53, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Stanislaus of Szczepanów (1030–1079) was a Bishop of Kraków known chiefly for having been martyred by the King Bolesław II the Generous of Poland. One of the first native Polish bishops, Stanislaus came into conflict with King Bolesław several times. In one case, the bishop is said to have resurrected a dead man so that he could bear witness regarding a sale of land. Another conflict, whose cause is disputed, led to Stanislaus excommunicating the King. In response, Bolesław killed the bishop and then had his body cut into pieces.Illustration: Stanisław Samostrzelnik
