ABSTRACT
The Jagiellonians entered the political geography of the German-speaking lands in great number in the last quarter of the fifteenth century. The number of royal daughters of kings Casimir IV, Sigismund I of Poland, and Ladislas II of Hungary and Bohemia who married into the realms of the Holy Roman Empire meant a considerable internationalisation of the dynasty and their promotion and acceptance into the highest spheres of Central European politics. The image of the Jagiellonians in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German-language historiography and historical literature was quite controversial. A symptomatic example is the treatment of Hedwig, Margravine of Brandenburg. The post-modern commemoration of the Landshut Wedding reached a new level by entering the world of popular comic books. The comic book form enables the authors to present the well-known historical facts in a new light and to add elements of irony and humour.
