Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the images of John and Charles IV of Luxemburg as presented by Jan Długosz in Books IX and X of his Annals. All fragments in the Annals which the Cracovian historian devoted to both monarch were meticulously analysed. The author argues that Długosz characterised the figures of John and Charles IV and their achievements from the standpoint of the interests and political raison d’État of the Kingdom of Poland and the late medieval ideal of a Christian ruler.
