Jadwiga (; 1373 / 4 – 17 July 1399 ) was monarch of Poland from 1384 to her death.

After two years ' negotiations with Jadwiga's mother, Elizabeth of Bosnia, who was regent of Hungary, and a civil war in Greater Poland ( 1383 ), Jadwiga finally came to Kraków and at the age of ten, on 16 October 1384 ( or 1385, sources vary ), was crowned King of Poland — Hedvig Rex Poloniæ, not Hedvig Regina Poloniæ.

As child monarch of Poland, Jadwiga had at least one relative in Poland ( all her immediate family having remained in Hungary ): her mother's childless uncle, Władysław the White ( d. 1388 ), Prince of Gniewkowo.

His plan, however, failed and William was expelled from Poland while Jadwiga declared her sponsalia invalid.

This was followed by Jogaila's coronation as King of Poland, although Jadwiga retained her royal rights.

From the time of her death, Jadwiga was venerated widely in Poland as a saint, though she was only beatified by the church in the 1980s.

Its nobility ruled Poland when Queen Jadwiga was too young to control the state, and the Union of Krewo with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the brainchild of Lesser Poland's szlachta.

The Teutonic Knights failed to subdue pagan Lithuania, which officially converted to ( Catholic ) Christianity in 1386 on the marriage of Grand Duke Jogaila to the 11-year-old Queen Jadwiga of Poland.

* 1384 – Jadwiga is crowned King of Poland, although she is a woman.

The Cracow Academy's development stalled upon the death of King Casimir, but the institution was re-founded in 1400 by King Władysław Jagiełło and his wife Saint Jadwiga, the daughter of the King Louis of Hungary and Poland.

Instead, the landlords of Lesser Poland gave it to Mary's younger sister Jadwiga I of Poland, who married Jogaila of Lithuania.

* November 16 – Jadwiga is crowned " King " of Poland following the death of her father, King Louis, in 1382.
