Milceni

Milsieni lands in the March of Meissen, Gustav Droysen, 1886

The Milceni or Milzeni (Czech: Milčané; German: Milzener; Polish: Milczanie)[nb 1] were a West Slavic tribe, who settled in the present-day Upper Lusatia region. They were gradually conquered by Germans during the 10th century. They were part of Sorbian tribes.[1][2] Modern descendants of the Milceni are the Upper Sorbian-speaking Sorbs of the Free State of Saxony, Germany.[1][3]
