List of Polish rulers


Poland was ruled by dukes (c.962–1025, 10321076, 10791295, 12961300 and 13061320) and kings (10251032, 10761079, 12951296, 13001305 and 13201795). The best-known dynasties are the Piast (c.962–1370) and Jagiellonian (13861572): intervening and subsequent monarchs were often rulers also of neighboring lands, or princes drawn from foreign dynasties. Polish kingship ended after the third Partition in 1795, and independence was restored on a republican basis in 1918.
