Abstract:
For centuries, biographies have invariably been an essential part of historiography. Every epoch, sometimes even every generation, has written its own ‘lives of famous men’, less frequently ‘women’. Among the numerous biographies, a prominent place is held by those relating to the Middle Ages. Among these, the lives of rulers come to the fore, where the ruler (prince, king, emperor) was among the key models. As for the title of this text, the first part of which is selfexplanatory, its subject includes broadly defined historical biographies concerning Polish rulers of the Piast dynasty. The su

In 1573, Henry de Valois, Duke of Anjou, was elected as the king of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, and some literary works were published to familiarize the French public with the history of Poland and Lithuania, the geographical and economic situation of the country. Some Polish historical works were translated into French (e.g. the chronicle of Jan Herburt of Felsztin), many poets wrote occasional poems, dedicated to the future king, in French, Polish, and Latin. This article aims to discuss the poem Henrias, dedicated to Henry de Valois, written in Latin by a French poet under the pseu

Among the first Orthodox hierarchs who bestowed the greatest benefit on the defense of the Ukrainian Church before the oppression of its Polish authorities (which further believed that the Orthodox Ukrainians and Belarusians were "bound by the Florentine Union") was Metropolitan of Kiev and Galicia, Joseph II Soltan 62 (1507-1522) . But his successes in this matter could not have a look for the further purpose, because the fate of the Orthodox Church under the Catholic power of the kings of Poland, which at the same time was the rulers of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, was predetermined by the

Abstract:
The formation and realisation of the territorial claims posed by the kings of Hungary had a nonlinear character. The role that was played in this process by the foreign policy of King Sigismund (1387—1437) is discussed in the paper. The royal title these claims were expressed with is “the king of Hungary, Dalmatia, Croatia, Bosnia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Cumania and Bulgaria”. This title had been composed already during the reign of the local Árpád dynasty in the 13th century. However, this imagined realm was made real only by the military campaigns that were led by Sigismund’s predecessor — Loui

With its tradition of elected kings and rebellious nobility, Poland-Lithuania has acquired a certain amount of fame that extends beyond its own region. To anybody who has heard of the Polish-Lithuanian political system, it would probably come as no surprise that the Commonwealth’s laws included the right to disobey a king who broke the promises he had made at his election. This version of the right of resistance was introduced in Poland-Lithuania’s laws in 1573, and, with very few modifications, it was confirmed by all of Poland-Lithuania’s subsequent monarchs and remained valid until the late

Abstract:
The construction of the gothic cathedral church in Włocławek on the new site by the local bishops, after the former one was burned down by the knights of the Teutonic Order in 1329, coincides with a time of political consolidation of the Kingdom of Poland and a significant reinforcement of the power of Polish kings. For that frontier bishopric, situated in the northern part of the country, it was also a period of stabilization and strengthening of diocesan structures. The earlier history of this diocese, however, was marked by divisions and political rivalry, as well as by an interesting insti

This thesis is a full political biography of Alice Perrers, the mistress of Edward III from the early 1360s until his death in June 1377 and mother to three of his children. It argues on the basis of the progression of her career that after the death of Edward's queen consort Philippa of Hainault in August 1369 Alice was able to extend the scope of her power and influence to the point that she became a ‘quasi' or ‘uncrowned' queen and, consequently, that her contribution to the political crisis of the 1370s can only be fully understood in terms of queenship.

A number of primary sources present a very negative view of Antony under the influence of various political persuasions, and this will be compared and contrasted with later ancient views. The study will pursue this under key themes such as the personality of Antony, his military and political career as well as the role that he played in the East. Modern scholarly interpretati
