Tarpaulin
The Goplanen (lat. Glopeani) were a West Slavic tribe in what is now central Poland. They probably lived in the wider area of the Goplosees ( Polish Gopło).
They are mentioned only once in written sources, namely in the first part of the Descriptio regionum et civitatum , i.e. the Bavarian Geographer . This part probably dates from the end of the 9th century.
It names the Glopeani area with 400 castles. The text does not provide any further information.
In Polish research, the glopeani are generally associated with the goplosee, hence the name goplanes .
The centers of the early Polish state of the Piasts such as Posen , Gniezno and Kruszwica are located near the Goplosees .
The further development of the Glopeani tribe is completely unclear due to a lack of information.
The tribal federation of the Goplanen probably went on in the 10th century at the latest in the state of the Piasts and thus in the later people of the Poles .
