Goplans
Goplans
Ethnic group
The Goplans or Goplanes (Latin: Glopeani, Polish: Goplanie) was an early West Slavic tribe that inhabited the central parts of the Kujawy region, with their probable seat at Kruszwica.[1] They might have been named after the Lake Gopło; Kmietowicz believes the Bavarian Geographer (845) overheard it and recorded it (as Glopeani).[2] Many remnants of small strongholds have been unearthed around the lake.[2] The tribe was absorbed by the Polans in the 10th century.
