The longest-reigning dynasties were the Piasts (ca. 860¿1370) and Jagiellonians (1386¿1572). Intervening and subsequent monarchs were often rulers of foreign countries or princes recruited from foreign dynasties.During the latter period, a tradition of free election of monarchs made it a uniquely electable position in Europe (16th¿18th centuries). Polish independence ended with the Third Partition of Poland (1795) and was restored at the end of World War I (1918) on a republican basis. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
