List Of Polish Consorts
The Polish royal consorts were the spouses of the reigning monarchs of the Kingdom of Poland. All of them are women who held the position of queen consort; although there were two female monarchs of Poland, husbands of those queens regnant were iure uxoris monarchs and not consorts. Poland is no longer a kingdom, so the throne of Queen of Poland no longer exist.
Little is known about queens whose husbands reigned prior to 1000. The Queen consorts of Poland also held the title of Duchess of the Polans, High Duchess of Poland, and other similar titles. The Ducal title was much more common in the Piast Dynasty since over 300 years of this family's rule only three were Kings of Poland and only two of these had wife's that were alive in their reign. But by the end of the first Piast dynasty, the title Duchess of Poland began to disappear and even though Christina and Hedwig of Sagan, wives of Casmir III, who were never crowned, they were referred to as Queens rather than Duchesses.
