(Redirected from Nishans)
The Nisans (Latin: Nisane; Polish: Niżanie, Niszanie) were a Polabian Slavic tribe that inhabited the basin of Elbe river near Dresden. They most likely were in the union with Glomatian tribe.[1] They were conquered by Holy Roman Empire between 928 and 929, and their lands were incorporated into the Margravate of Meissen.[1][2]
