Jadwiga ( Polish: [jadˈviɡa] ⓘ; 1373 or 1374 – 17 July 1399), also known as Hedwig ( Hungarian: Hedvig ), was the first female to be crowned as monarch of the Kingdom of Poland. She reigned from 16 October 1384 until her death. She was the youngest daughter of Louis the Great, King of Hungary and Poland, and his wife, Elizabeth of Bosnia.
Polish nobles competed with each other and a brief civil war broke out in Greater Poland. Eventually, after long negotiations with Jadwiga's mother Elizabeth of Bosnia , who was regent of Hungary, Jadwiga arrived in Kraków and was crowned as King of Poland (not as Queen of Poland , to emphasize her rights to the throne) on 15 October 1384.
