Overview

The Crown of the Kings is a historical television series that chronicles the transition of power within the Polish monarchy.

Following this period, the Polish throne passes to the House of Anjou. The story tracks the subsequent political and dynastic shifts that shape the future of the nation. A central focus of the series is the marriage between Saint Jadwiga of Poland and the Lithuanian Grand Duke Jogaila. This union serves as the foundation for a new alliance and the establishment of the Jagiellon dynasty. This new royal line goes on to rule Poland for the next two hundred years. The series examines how these specific historical figures and their strategic decisions influenced the long-term governance and dynastic succession of the Polish state during this transformative era.
