The house, member by member

One family drawn as a tree, then every member, oldest first where a date is recorded.

What this means

People whose own records place them in this house. Membership of a house is a family fact. It is not a religious affiliation and not a right to any office. “Child of” appears where a member’s recorded parent is also in the house — a documented human family, the same kind of claim as membership, and nothing more. Imported from Wikidata: nothing here has been read by an editor.

Succession

Offices held in the house

The members in each office, in order — a selection from the office’s whole line.

King of Poland

  • 7 holders
  • 1 overlap
  • 2 gaps
What this means

Who held an office after whom. Not parentage, not discipleship, and not universally recognised — offices are contested.

Does not imply recognition by every tradition · an uncontested claim · parentage · discipleship · an explanation of why the succession happened

Holding an office after someone says nothing about being related to them or taught by them. Where a line is also a family, both are on the holders’ own pages as separate sections.

A gap is a vacancy, an interregnum or a hole in the record; an overlap is rival claims or an office held by more than one at once. The records do not say which, so neither is resolved here. A gap shorter than two years sits inside the precision of year-dated records and is not marked. Only this house’s members are shown, so a gap between two of them may be a holder from outside it.

Why a succession happened is a historical argument. Where sources make one, it belongs in a reviewed connection with its citations — not in this order, and not in a predecessor field.

Recognition is never universal. Where a card names no recognising body, none is recorded — which is not the same as none.

No dates recorded 2

Chronology is not a full explanation

Why one member followed another takes evidence beyond the order of their dates. That both belonged to the house is not, on its own, that evidence.

Religious context · a separate claim

Affiliation

Counted from the members’ own statements — never the religion of anyone the house ruled.

What this means

Assembled from the members’ own statements, and counted. What a person was affiliated with, what a ruler paid for, what a state did and what a population practised are four separate kinds of claim. Only the first two are in the data at all, and they are kept apart here.

Affiliations recorded on members

An affiliation recorded by a third party, often for one period of a life. It is not the religion of anyone this house ruled.

Connections

How Jagiellonian dynasty connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Affiliation 1

What this means

Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Does not imply a fixed roster · that every account of the tradition knows this figure

Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.

Transmission 1

What this means

Teaching passed from one person to another. Not biological ancestry and not automatic institutional succession.

Does not imply that the tradition began fully formed · that later adherents accept the attribution
