Death of King Sigismund II August in 1572 has ended the rule of Jagiellon dynasty in Poland. Even during his lifetime, representatives of European powers have expressed interest in Polish throne. So, on one hand there was a competition between the candidates, and on the other the method of selection of the next monarch was being established. Most supported concept was that of free election, pursuant to which the king was to be elected by the assembled nobility. Election results were announced on 9th May 1573. Newly elected Polish king was Henri, Duke d’Anjou, son of King of France and Catherine di Medici. Only on 16th May, after consenting to terms set forth in Pacta conventa, Henri de Valois was announced King of Poland. Polish delegation has reached Paris on August 19th, however the ceremonial presentation of the election act took place only after the next round of negotiations of terms, on September 13th. Henri’s rule in Poland did not last long. He arrived in Poland in January 1574, and already in June he secretly left for France to take its throne after death of his brother Charles IX. The election act, a parchment document with 110 seals, is preserved in the archive of Ministry of Foreign Affairs — currently in La Courneuve near Paris. A copy of the document was e ntered in to Crown Metrica and is preserved in Central Archive of Historical Records (AGAD) in Warsaw.

Śmierć króla Zygmunta II Augusta w 1572 r. położyła kres dynastii Jagiellonów na tronie polskim. Jeszcze za jego życia przedstawiciele europejskich mocarstw wyrażali zainteresowanie panowaniem w Polsce. Z jednej więc strony trwała rywalizacja kandydatów, z drugiej zaś ustalano w Polsce sposób wyboru kolejnego władcy. Największe poparcie zdobyła koncepcja wolnej elekcji, w wyniku której przyszły król miał być wybrany przez ogół zgromadzonej szlachty. Wynik wyboru ogłoszono 9 V 1573 r. Na tron polski został wybrany książę Andegawenii Henryk, syn króla Francji Henryka II i Katarzyny Medycejskiej. Dopiero 16 maja, po wyrażeniu zgody na warunki zawarte w Pacta conventa, Henryk Walezy został ogłoszony królem Polski. Poselstwo polskie dotarło do Paryża 19 sierpnia, lecz dopiero po kolejnych negocjacjach warunków, uroczysty akt elekcji został przekazany Henrykowi w dniu 13 września. Jego panowanie w Polsce nie trwało długo. Przybył do Polski w styczniu 1574 r., a już w czerwcu tego roku potajemnie wyjechał do Francji, aby objąć tamtejszy tron po śmierci swego brata Karola IX. Akt elekcji, pergaminowy dokument opatrzony 110 pieczęciami, przechowywany jest w archiwum Ministerstwa Spraw Zagranicznych – obecnie w La Courneuve pod Paryżem. Kopia dokumentu została wpisana do Metryki Koronnej i jest przechowywana w Archiwum Głównym Akt Dawnych w Warszawie.
