Glogów defence

• Around the 10th century the town of Glogów was
  inhabited by a tribe called Dziadoszans which
  lived from farming.
• On 24th August 1109 the emperor Henry V
  approached the town with his army. The defenders
  of Glogów made a five-day truce with the emperor
  who took the defenders sons as hostages.
• However Boleslaw Krzywousty never agreed to
  surrender Glogów. The emperor did not abide by
  the conditions of the truce and ordered to tie
  the hostages to the siege towers. They later died
  in the fight. The invasion lasted for many days.
• Finally the emperors army withdrew from the
  siege of Glogów and moved southwards.
