Masovia was conquered probably by Mieszko I, duke of Polans and the first historical ruler of Poland in the 10th century.

During the chaos following the death of Mieszko II in 1033 and the subsequent invasion by the Czechs, it split temporarily from Poland under an independent ruler. It was then subdued by Casimir I of Poland in 1039 with help from Ruthenian units.
