Queen Jadwiga - King Jagiello - History of Poland - Real Faces 

BASED Polish woman

Hello from Cyprus! :-)

Thank you so much 😀

Ja też się cieszę, Jadwiga Andegaweńska pochodziła z linii Piastów, dobra osoba, pobożna, mądra, rozważna i dalekowzroczny zręczny polityk. Kochała Polskę i swojego króla Jagiełłę.Stanowili dobraną parę, szanował Ją, Jej zdanie, kochał Ją. Niesamowite czasy i ludzie👌🏡😇❤

Thanks, but which country's flag it is actualy?

Yes, indeed. At that time we had two good kings at once. Jadwiga has very high reputation here in Poland as well Jagiełło.

Władysław Jagiełło and Jadwiga Andegaweńska had a daughter, Elżbieta Bonifacja, who was born on June 22, 1399 and, unfortunately, died on July 13, 1399, and four days later Jadwiga Andegaweńska died on July 17, 1399.

Hello there!

She was blonde, it was described in polish chronicles.

@@lavendelblue4368 see we in the West (that is to say, what was called the West during the Cold War) don’t know much about Polish history, if anything at all. Few of those sources have been translated and even fewer have made it this far west: it’s almost impossible to find books in English about Jadwiga (Wikipedia is not a credible source and I don’t speak more than three or four words in Polish)

The Poles differ, many of them have dark hair, many blonde. I'm pure blond, almost white hair and dark brown eyes for example. Genetics is unpredictable sometimes. :D . Thanks for a polite comment. Have a nice evening ( or day). :)

😀👍 What's the difference?

@@panagiotisconstantinou In Poland "queen" was a title only for king's wife. In old polish language "królowa" (queen) means literally a wife of a "król" (king) and the part "owa" refers to a wife of someone so queen means literally "wife of king". Since Poland became a kingdom only a king could sit on the throne (don't count time of "district breakdown" where there was no king, only many dukes). So for Jadwiga to be a full ruler she needed to take the title of king. That would mean that even after marriage her husband wouldn't take charge and power from her. It worked, all tho it's weird how there was no female ruler of Poland before or after her (some count Anna Jagielonka 200 years later but that's another story).

To polskie podkreślanie, że Jadwiga była królem jest zupełnie nowe i trochę zabawne. Elżbieta II też była głową państwa a nie żoną króla i nosiła tytuł QUEEN czyli królowa

Thank you for your kind words 🙂

Most of the Poles that I have met are fair headed and with blue eyes...except one😁

No, she looks very typical for Poland or Czechia (great light eyes, high cheekbones, short nose, absolutely not Scandinavian) - Slavic people look very often like she, sometimes their heirs are more brown or more dark blond, sometimes exactly golden.

Leticia Garcia: She was from the House of Anjou. More likely than not she was only part Slavic. In order to increase their domains there was intermarriage.

@@roberttelarket4934 Like all people from the ruling families of Europe in 14th century, Jadwiga had a mixed origin with a great advantage of Polish roots. Many of her grandparents, grandmothers, great-grandparents, great-grandmother,s great-great-grandparents, great-great-grandmothers were Polish princes and princesses related to the Piast dynasty (ruling Poland for 500 years, from the mid-10th century to the end of the second half of 14th century). They ruled such districts of medieval Poland as Silesia or Kujawy and all of Poland (King Władysław Łokietek - Jadwiga's great-grandfather). In addition, among her ancestors was the Hungarian branch of the d'Anjou dynasty (derived from its Neapolitan branch of the d'Anjou), whose members married the Habsburgs, Hohenzollerns, Piasts, and princesses of the royal Serbian and Bosnian families (remember that, for example, Serbia was then the old, flourishing kingdom, these are times before the invasion of the Turks).

No lol

Yes, he does 🙂

Jogaila (Joti gailas) translates from Lithuanian as a "strong rider". But he was more a politician (and a very good one) than a military commander.

Yes she was officially "a king" but no one would get it as she was a woman for the presentation of this video.

There's already a clip about it and that battle

Are there still pagan people in Lithuania?

It’s because artistic traditions of the day - including sculptures - were more focused on uniformity than capturing and reproducing real life. But I have a funny additional theory that they all look alike because of generations of rampant inbreeding.

I don't agree...I have seen quite a few of his previous works...and I can say that they all differ in their representation.😁
