The Jagiellonians: A List

Drawing firm boundaries around a dynasty, deciding who is 'in' and who is 'out', is a slippery business. The project will examine where the Jagiellonians themselves understood these boundaries to lie, from the 14th to the 16th centuries. Historians have defined the Jagiellonian family in very different ways - variously including or excluding its female members, the spouses of Jagiellonians, illegitimate offspring, members of the dynasty who died in infancy etc. The question of exactly when and where the Jagiellonians 'begin' - and with whom - is a particularly vexed one in Polish and Lithuanian scholarship.

Notes

  • Members of the dynasty are defined here as Jagiellonian monarchs / grand dukes and their offspring.
  • Jagiellonians are listed chronologically, in birth order.
  • The spouses of Jagiellonians are marked with an *.
  • Jagiellonians who died in infancy are marked with an +
  • The dates given for queen consorts are the date of marriage; not of coronation.
  • The list is work in progress, and will be revised and expanded in light of the Project's on-going research and discussions.
