Additional information

Mojmír I was the ninth-century ruler who consolidated the Moravian princes under a single authority and expelled the Frankish-backed Pribina from Nitra around 833 — the act conventionally used to date the founding of Great Moravia. The Slovak National Bank has issued a series of gold 100-euro coins commemorating figures from this early medieval period, and Mojmír anchors the series as the polity's originator.

Great Moravia's political existence lasted barely seven decades before Magyar incursions destroyed it around 906, leaving Mojmír's legacy almost entirely dependent on Frankish annals written by people who considered him an adversary.
