NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Polish king

Poland was ruled by dukes (c.962–1025, 1032–1076, 1079–1295, 1296–1300 and 1306–1320) and kings (1025–1032, 1076–1079, 1295–1296, 1300–1305 and 1320–1795). The best-known dynasties are the Piast (c.962–1370) and Jagiellonian (1386–1572): intervening and subsequent monarchs were often rulers also of neighboring lands, or princes drawn from foreign dynasties.
