On July 21, 1965, Poczta Polska issued a  9 stamp commemorative series marking Warsaw’s 700th Anniversary.
This is a reader suggested Stamp of the Day.

The early years of the wooden castle of Warsaw are almost parallel to the creation of the city and can be traced back to the late twelve or early fourteen centuries. The establishment of a ducal seat at the place of the Royal Castle is attributed to duke Bolesław II, who managed to unite all of Masovia during his reign (1294-1313). It was a period that marked the end of the feudal fragmentation of the Kingdom of Poland and only Masovia remained independent for the next two hundred years. The Duchy of Masovia was governed by a younger branch of the Piast dynasty that ruled Poland from 960 to 1370.

In the first forty years of the fourteen century Warsaw grew as an important center of Ducal power becoming the leading town of the Duchy in the years 1350-1355 under Kazimierz I Trojdenowicz (1341-1355).

The appearance and importance of Warsaw are significantly changed under Janusz I the Older (1373/1374 – 1429), who as a builder of towns and numerous castles was compared to the King of Poland Casimir III the Great (1333 -1370).
