From Wikipedia
The Milceni or Milzeni, also known in anglicized form as Milchans (Upper Sorbian: Milčenjo; Lower Sorbian: Milcany; Czech: Milčané; Polish: Milczanie; German: Milzener) were a West Slavic tribe, that lived in medieval Milzavia (Latin: Milzavia marchia), a historical region encompassing upper basins of Neisse, Spree and Black Elster rivers, in present-day Lusatia, divided since 1945 between modern Germany and Poland. They were a Sorbian tribe, belonging to the wider group of Polabian Slavs. During the 10th and 11th centuries, their tribal polity was gradually and successively conquered by Germany, Poland and Bohemia. In periods of German rule, their region initially belonged to the March of Meissen, and later to the Land of Bautzen, known since the 15th century as Upper Lusatia. Modern descendants of the Milceni are the Upper Sorbian-speaking Sorbs of the Free State of Saxony, in Germany.
