The king in Ukrainian history is not a foreign ruler. The perception of the king as one of our own in our historical tradition is primarily associated with Danylo Romanovych and his coronation in the mid-13th century. However, our ancestors also lived under the rule of kings from the mid-14th century until the end of the 18th century. Mostly Polish, and to a lesser extent Hungarian, but these kings were the rulers of our ancestors at a time when the states to which Ukrainian lands belonged were not national. This book is about the kings and dynasties from the 1340s to the 1790s, whose subjects were our ancestors. The first part describes the kings of the Piast, Anjou, and Jagiellonian dynasties. The second part covers the stories of the elected kings who were chosen by the nobility at the electoral sejm in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Eighteen essays present the biographies of the monarchs and the history of the dynasties in the context of our history.
