In the studies on the court ceremony the place and role of the queen is nearly always neglected. The basic difficulty with recognising the problem of the queen’s place and role in the court ceremonial is a limited number of sources, particularly noticeable in many areas of the “court” studies in Poland is the lack of sources of a normative nature (until the end of the 16th century). Research on the queen’s place and role in the court ceremonial can be, as I think, focused on two groups of questions. The first one is a court ceremonial representative for the queen’s court and associated with her, which included: inauguration, which was a solemn arrival to the homeland of the husband and introduction to the royal castle, nuptials, ceremonies associated with the birth and baptism of children, and funerary rites. The second of the abovementioned groups of issues should focus on the place of the queen in the court ceremonial that was linked to the king’s court and its political (or the state’s) role.
