What if instead of Mieszko I accepting Christianity, instead a monarch from Prussia accepted Christianity from Scandanavia or Germany before Poland would accept Christianity, what would happen to Poland and Prussia?

Perhaps the Bohemians war with Polans and try to get parts of their territory and try to gain an ally with Kievian Rus..I don't think any single Prussian tribe was as numerous as the Polans. Smaller tribes+Christianisation attempts = look at what happened to the Polabians.
Yeah, political unity would be required for it to really count. I believe some Danish kings/chiefs did convert to Christianity before the official Christianization, but it's only when a king of all of Denmark converted that it really stuck. Without a supreme authority turning the crown itself Christian, you just have individual chiefs or minor "kings" who turn Christian, but not in a way that will dissuade crusaders and the like from coming in.Lack of actual Prussian state makes it difficult. Mieszko I accepted Christianity due to political reasons - why would isolated, fragmented Prussian tribes do so?
I believe you mean nitpicking. Cherrypicking is when you select the evidence that favors your position (the cherries) while ignoring the evidence that goes against it.sorry for cherrypicking![]()
