| Abstract | The accession of Grand Duke Jogaila of Lithuania to the Polish throne as King Władysław II Jagiełlo (r. 1386-1434) - replacing the previous Piast and Angevin dynasties - inaugurated a period of approximately two hundred years during which dynastic changes occurred with unusual frequency throughout Europe, from the rise of the Tudors in England and Bourbons in France to the Jagiellonians and Habsburgs in several nations of East-Central Europe. This panel is dedicated to the visual strategies used by late medieval and Renaissance dynasties to legitimate themselves politically, to claim particular dynastic origins, affinities, and alliances, and to emphasize particular relationships within and without the dynasty while eliding others. |
