Mojmír I
Quick Summary
Mojmír I was the prince of Moravia who, around 833 CE, united the region and expanded his domain to include the Nitra region, which is now part of Slovakia. His reign marked the emergence of a united kingdom centered in Moravia, a traditional region in central Europe. This kingdom, later known as Great Moravia, eventually encompassed Bohemia, parts of Poland, and Hungary under Mojmír's successors. During this period, Christianity began to spread, with Byzantine missionaries Cyril and Methodius invited to introduce Christianity using a Slavic translation of liturgical texts. Great Moravia eventually disintegrated after 906 CE.12
