Funny fact: Jadwiga was actually crowned as a king, not queen. Because at that time term "queen" meant wife of a king. And since she was in charge as a "single woman" officially she was the King of Poland.
Even more funny fact: she started her career being accused of "bigamy" yet defended herself so effecitvely in Vatican trial that during her reign she was the one writing personal letters to Popes and making them to bide to her will and in the end she became the official "Saint" of The Wester Catholic Church. She was in fact famous for her specific style of letters to the Popes, mixing elegantly flattery with plain insults and threats. Her letters to the Popes and their replies are still amusing to read for medevial times historians. As for other trivia: in her times she was famous for " having the built, height and horse-ridding skilling that a good knight would not be ashamed of "- almost exact quote from chronicles from her times. In fact her corpse have been inspected and it has been confirmed that she was very tall, very well-built blonde-haired woman with a perfect set of dazzlingly healthy teeth what was really rare at that time. Unfortuantely her male-knight like silhouette ment she had too narrow hips to give birth easily in times long before a Cesarian cut was known and this is why most likely the consequences of overly prolonged birth with complications and the following infection killed her prematurely.
About Jadwiga...
We know that she was very tall, educated and mature. That's why she never had a regent even though she was crowned as king at the age of 10/11. Two years later she married Jogaila who was a little over 10 years older than her.
We know from chronicles and other surviving documents that she was very beautiful, tall and very mature for her age. She was also an excellent diplomat and always achieves her goal in negotiations. She was also able to lead troops in battle when when necessary because she was the one who conquered most of the Ruthenia when she was only 13. She was also able to communicate in 6 languages.
Even her enemies like Teutonic Knights admired her beauty, wisdom and admitted that she was a worthy opponent.
Just take our Polish national anthem it says Poland will not die as long as we are alive. No matter where we live in the world Poland is always alive in our hearts and no one can take that away from us.
I feel like they barely touched the topic of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. So in 1386 Jadwiga (female king of Poland) married Jogaila (grand duke of Lithuania).
Their marriage was literally the most important marriage in history of Europe - it wasn't just one royalty marrying another royalty but it was one ruller marrying another ruller - one country marrying another country.
Thanks to this marriage Poland and Lithuania were united under one crown from 1386, then in 1569 they truly became one country (known as Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth).
For some time it was the biggest coutry in Europe, there was even a period when they had access to 3 seas.
Then in 1795, as a result of the partitions, they disappeared from the maps for over 100 years. Officially they separeted in 1918 when after WW1 they came back as saparate countries under Russian influence. Then WW2 happened and they disappeared again, they regained their full freedom from Russia only little over 30 years ago.
So you can really say that history of Poland and Lithuania has been connected since that wedding, till recenty.
Jadwiga did not have the title of queen, only the male title of King of Poland. This is due to the fact that in Poland there was no title of the Queen as the Ruler, only the Queen as the king's wife.
The video you reacted to is very simplified and in many places inaccurate, but it always warms our cold Polish hearts to see a foreigner become interested in our history. * smiles in Polish *
No reason for fatalism, but we certainly like dark humour.
80% of Warsaw was reduced to rubble and had to be rebuild. Kraków was intact with only a single unexploded bomb falling donw inside one part of the Wawel Castle. During Polish partitions using Polish language in public sphere and in higher education was forbidden. Kraków was the main city of Galicia, so the city that enjoyed most freedom during the Polish partitions.
We dont beg for freedom we fight for it
nie zesraj sie
my family immigrated from Poland in ww1
and where are you live now?
That was not boleslaus i Chrobry (brave) WHO divided the country between his sons but only later boleslaus iii Krzywousty (wry-mouth) did IT :)
😀👍
This is only 1% of our history, the problem is that the more important things were omitted.
I'd say, that as an introduction for totaly anaware foreginers, it will do.
Do my eyes deceive me? 13:13 is that an American M1911 pistol in that Polish man's hands? How the hell did he get that?
The closest thing I could come up with is that there was a factory taken over by the Nazis in Belgium that made them for the Nazis but was their use so widespread that they'd end up on the Eastern front/anti partisan fighting (massacres really) in Poland?
Or perhaps the Allies dropped in supplies, I believe they did to some extent but would they just expect the Poles to know how to use them, I guess they either dropped translated manuals or just expected them to do trial and error.
likely a vis 35
And did you notice that other's sub-machine gun? I believe it to be the British Sten gun but I'm not exactly sure.
Those are both, polish design weapons. Handgun is derived from Browning High-power (Vis 35) Propably one of the best Guns of the war. Good enough, to be Third, most popular in Wermacht, after they got the foundry.
Sub gun is Błyskawica (Lightning) based on both Sten and MP-40, Lunched for mass production in 1943.
