Szewc z legendy nazywał się Skuba!
Wawel mountains? I live in Kraków but I haven't heard about them...
When visiting the dragon's cave, I was told – tongue in cheek – that the *real* reason the dragon died was that, subsisting on a diet of virgins, it starved to death on the Krakówian population. ;)
I heard that Dratewka was introduced into the legend by the Communists, who weren't pleased with the former version of the legend, where Krak was the dragonslayer. Simple shoemaker was more appropriate ideologically than the feudal lord ;]
No no. In the first version of the legend, written by Kadłubek, the dragon was slayed by king Krak. In the later medieval ages the legend was modified in the.. citizen..in Cracow.. w mieszczańskim środowisku krakowskim.. But it were still medieval ages. The name of the citizen hero was Skuba. Sorry for my english.
