Historians point to the rule of the Piast dynasty as crucial to the formation of the Polish state. However, some differentiate between members of the dynasty like Władysław I Herman, who ruled as duke from 1079 to 1102 CE and less well-documented figures like Lestek, who is said to have ruled in the 9th and 10th centuries but whose historical actuality is disputed. Lestek appears in the Gesta principum Polonorum, a chronicle of medieval Polish history written between 1112 and 1118. However, the chronicle's documentation of Lestek relies on oral tradition, unlike its records of later rulers.
According to the text, what is a difference between how historians view Lestek and how they view Władysław I Herman?

B
Historians agree that Lestek ruled Poland much later than Władysław I Herman.
C
Historians find the orally transmitted stories affirming the existence of Władysław Herman to be more convincing than similar stories about Lestek.
