An old legend says that Poland was founded by Lech, brother of Czech and Rus - founders of Poland's southern and eastern neighbors. He settled in the place where he spotted a majestic white eagle in its nest. Hence the name of Poland's first capital city - Gniezno ("nest"), and the White Eagle in the Polish arms (which also appears in the Gniezno arms). | An old legend says that Poland was founded by Lech, brother of Czech and Rus - founders of Poland's southern and eastern neighbors.
