Wincenty Kadłubek, also known as Vincent Kadlubek, Vincent Kadlubo, Vincent Kadlubko, Vincent of Kraków. Born 1161 in Poland, died 8th of March, 1223 at Jędrzejów, Poland.
Studied in Bologna. Bishop of Kraków. His most known works are "Chronicles of the Kings and Princes of Poland". His works had huge impact on the definition of Polish political doctrine in 14th-15th century by Stanisław of Skarbimierz and others and on 16th century works of Wawrzyniec Grzymała Goślicki and lead to Nobles' Democracy in Poland. In his works for the first time he uses res publica (see Commonwealth and Rzeczpospolita) in the context of Poland.
He followed Gallus Anonymus further developed idea of Latin proverb: "vox populi, vox dei" (see Latin proverbs) and argued that ruler (king) should always follow a council that includes bishops and representants of clans as not the ruler but council has higher authority originating from laws of God. He also claimed that the ruler should be elected by the council and rulers overusing their power should be removed.
