Monarchs |
Until 1795, Poland was ruled at various times either by dukes (ca. 960 – 1025, 1032–1076, 1079–1295, 1296–1300 and 1306–1320) or by kings (1025–1031, 1076–1079, 1295–1296, 1300–1306 and 1320–1795). The best-known dynasties are the Piast (ca. 960 – 1370) and Jagiellon (1386–1572) dynasties. Intervening and subsequent monarchs were often also rulers of neighboring lands, or princes recruited from foreign dynasties. Polish independence ended with the Third Partition (1795) and was restored in 1918 on a republican basis.
