The Piast dynasty is a line of Kings and dukes that ruled Poland from its beginnings as an independent state up to 1370 . The branches of the Piasts continued to rule Polish splinter duchies in Masovia until 1526 and Silesia until 1675 . Piast was the legendary ancestor of these nobles. His name was first mentioned in the Chronicle of the Polish dukes by Gallus Anonymous, written in ca 1113 . Although the early dukes and kings considered themselves Piast's descendants, the term "Piast Dynasty" was invented in the 17th century by the historians, working for a number of rulers who governed their duchies in Silesia . See Rulers Of Poland for identification of kings.
