Lech II is the legendary Polish ruler who first appears in the work of Jan Dlugosh . There he is introduced as the youngest son of Prince Krak and his successor.
According to Dlugosh, after the death of his father, Lech II, out of thirst for power and jealousy, killed his older brother, named after his father - Krak II . This was done during the hunt, and in order to hide the crime, his body was chopped up and buried in the sand.
Then the chronicler speaks of a false testimony before Lech’s powerful total, that Lech is generously watered with tears. Convinced they were exposed proclaimed him king, after which he reigned for many years.
Dlugosh gives two options for ending the story, as well as more convinced of the opening of the site (there are witnesses) and Lech besieged from the throne, who warmly welcomes.
In the second version, the punishment of divine providence for Lech was that he lived for a long time, but was childless. After his death, Sister Lech II, Wanda , the last of the Krak family, sat down to reign.
Compared with the oldest version of the annals (Vincent Kadlubek, annals, XII century) Dugosh made significant changes in the names of the sons of Krak. Namely, in accordance with the previous record, the youngest of them was named after his father (that is, Krak, see Art. Krak II), while the eldest son was nameless.
In addition, Dlugosh cited two legends processed by himself at times the Wawel dragon Krak the Elder, II, Lech once narrowing only to applications for fratricide and exile. Wymogło is a change in the circumstances of the death of the eldest sons from Krak.
