===Coronation, 1434=== [[File:Wladyslaw III as a child.webp|thumb|right|Young Władysław III depicted in a 15th-century prayerbook. The [[Coat of arms of Poland|Polish White Eagle]] can be seen in the shield.]] Władysław was crowned at Wawel Cathedral on 25 July 1434 by the elderly Wojciech Jastrzębiec.{{sfn|Sokołowski|Inlender|1897|page=312}}{{sfn|Reddaway|Penson|Halecki|Dyboski|1950|page=234}}{{efn|Teresa Pac incorrectly provides the date as 25 August 1434 in her work ''Common Culture and the Ideology of Difference in Medieval and Contemporary Poland''.{{sfn|Pac|2022|page=150}}}} There is evidence that the [[coronation]] was closely supervised by Oleśnicki, who was instrumental in determining how the investiture is conducted.{{sfn|Pac|2022|pages=149–150}} Changes were made to the order of formalities under Oleśnicki's ''Ordo ad cornandum ad regem Poloniae'', notably the young monarch was obliged to take an [[oath]] before the [[anointment]] and the handing over of [[Polish crown jewels|Polish royal insignia]].{{sfn|Pac|2022|pages=149–150}} This act was to be seen as submission to the privileges of nobles; the [[Royal elections in Poland|king-elect's fulfillment of the elites' requirements]], not [[Hereditary monarchy|hereditary]] rights, was a condition for obtaining the throne in the Kingdom of Poland.{{sfn|Pac|2022|page=150}} Furthermore, the crown jewels were given to the officials, rather than being placed at the [[altar]], implying Władysław's minority and the officials' active participation in the coronation.{{sfn|Pac|2022|page=150}} The act in which Władysław undertook ''[[sign of the cross|signum crucis]]'' with a sword in the direction of the four corners of the world was abandoned.{{sfn|Pac|2022|page=150}} The chronicler [[Jan Długosz]] (Latin: Johannes Longinus) writes that the boy king, dressed in royal garments and accompanied by bishops Oleśnicki and {{ill|Stanisław z Pawłowic|pl}}, [[Bishop of Płock]], rode from [[Wawel Castle]] to greet the townsfolk.{{sfn|Długosz|1869|page=506}} However, a customary [[homage (feudal)|feudal homage]] by the [[burgher (social class)|burghers]] at [[Kraków Town Hall]] came into effect because of a disagreement between the bishops and [[Masovia]] princes concerning the [[order of precedence]] in the royal [[procession]] and on sitting arrangements.{{sfn|Długosz|1869|page=506}}
