Summary/Abstract: On 14 February 1479 in Frankfurt on the Oder, Zofia, the second of five daughters of the Polish king Kazimierz the Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria, and the margrave of Brandenburg Frederic Hohenzollern, the younger son of the elector Albrecht Achilles, got married and their wedding was celebrated. The Frankfurt wedding of Zofia was the result of the king’s dynastic policy, which was intended to gain favour of potential allies in German countries during his rivalry with Martin Corvinus, the king of Hungary, for the Bohemian crown after the death of George of Podiebrady (1471). The register of state dignitaries and royal courtiers, who accompanied the princess in her wedding entourage, discovered in the Crown Treasury Archive, helps to enrich the knowledge on political, organisational and financial aspects of marriages of royal daughters. The paper contains its critical edition.
