The title "King of Poland" refers to the monarch who ruled over the historical Kingdom of Poland, which existed from the 10th century until the late 18th century. The monarchy was established with the coronation of Bolesław I the Brave in 1025. Throughout its history, the kingdom experienced various dynasties, including the Piast and Jagiellonian dynasties, and played a significant role in European politics. The monarchy ended in 1795 when Poland was partitioned by neighboring powers, leading to the dissolution of the state. Although the title ceased to exist, the legacy of the Polish kings remains significant in the country's history and culture, influencing national identity and pride.
