The article analyses four inventories of trousseaus belonging to women of the Jagiellon dynasty: Jadwiga, daughter of King Casimir IV Jagiellon, Sophie and Catherine, daughters of Sigismund I, and Catherine Habsburg, wife of Sigismund Augustus. The analysis is focused on the furnishings of court interiors (chapel, dining-room, bedchamber). The inventories list the furnishings of the court chapel and liturgical paraphernalia. They also give us some idea about the furnishings of royal chambers: the dining room and the bedchamber. As to the dining room, they list tableware and tablecloths. Among other details, the inventories mention the colours and patterns of the tapestries that decorated and insulated the royal chambers, and describe their furnishings: beds, bolsters, canopies and bed linen. The bedchamber was usually decorated in the favourite colours of the epoch: white, gold, black and, above all, crimson.
