Queen Hedwig I of Poland (1373 - 1399) the female "king" and patron saint of Poland

...At the end of the fifteenth century, Louis I of Anjou, a member of the Capetian house of Naples and Sicily and descendant of the king of France Louis VIII, united in his hands the kingdoms of Hungary and Poland. But the king has only daughters... When she died in 1382, the eldest, Mary, inherited the Magyar throne. Two years later, the Polish nobility, which actually had the crown, chose to crown the youngest, Hedwig – or Jadwiga – "king" of Poland.
