title: [Health condition of Polish kings of Jagiellons dynasty (In view of historical sources)].
abstract: The purpose of this article is an attempt to show a health situation of Jagiellons reigning Poland. In the publication there are presented the profiles of Giedymin's descendants, the attention is drawn to their diseases and the ways of fighting them. For the reason that there are sketchy descriptions of diseases found in XVth and XVIth century sources, giving definitions of what diseases the rulers of Poland have been suffering from is purely hypothetical. The author who is making a diagnosis, today - after five centuries - is not claiming the right to infallibility. At the same time the article is trying to show possible similarities and differences in attitute towards health of the individual monarchs. In the publication, apart from information about diseases, we can find descriptions by the medicals or generally by the people and institutions engaged in medicine in period under discussion.
