0 Euro - Jadwiga of Poland

Jadwiga, crowned King of Poland in 1384 at roughly eleven years old — the feminine title "Queen" was deliberately avoided to preserve her full political authority — remains one of the more complex figures in medieval Central European history. Her forced separation from Habsburg Duke Wilhelm of Austria, arranged by Polish nobility who preferred the Jagiellonian match with Władysław II Jagiełło, was a dynastic calculation that reshaped the religious and political map of the region for centuries.
