Page "Mieszko II Lambert" Paragraph 31

Mieszko II died suddenly between 10 and 11 July 1034, probably in Poznań.

The Polish chronicles clearly stated that he died of natural causes ; the information that he was murdered by a sword-bearer ( Miecznik ), given by the chronicles of Gottfried of Viterbo, refers to Bezprym.

However, the historians now think that he was killed in a plot hatched by the aristocracy.

He was buried in the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul.
