Królewicz
None
Królewicz ( f. królewna ; plural forms królewicze and królewny ) was the title given to the sons and daughters of the king of Poland (and Grand Duke of Lithuania at the same time), later the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth . It was similar in its distinctiveness to the Spanish and Portuguese title of infante , also reserved to the children of the monarch. Though, it was used only to denote one's status as a King's child. Królewicz and królewna has no direct equivalent in other languages and was translated to the English prince and German prinz , like dynasts of a royal house. Królewicze since the 16th century could not also be regarded as and equivalent to the princes of the blood , because the Polish monarchy was not hereditary since 1573, when after the death of the last Jagiellon king, future Henry III of France was elected . In official Latin titulature children of Polish kings were often styled as Poloniae princeps or princeps Poloniae , meaning Prince/ss of Poland or Polish prince/ss. [1] [2] [3] In more official way, the full style of sons of monarchs was Dei Gratia regius princeps Poloniae et Lithuaniae [4] for the sons.
