According to the allegorical Polish Chronicle of Gallus Anonymus, he was once surprised by two unexpected foreign guests. They asked to stay with Piast and his family in order to celebrate the seventh birthday of Piast’s son, Siemowit. In return for his hospitality, the guests made a special blessing, which ensured that Piast’s cellar never ran out of food. Seeing this blessing, Piast’s compatriots decided that he would be their new prince. Because the current Prince Popiel was gone, Piast became the country's new leader.
