Which ruler of Poland was crowned King in 1386, and is commemorated by an equestrian monument in New York City?
King Jagiello Monument The King Jagiello Monument is an equestrian monument of Władysław II Jagiełło, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, located in Central Park, New York City. The monument commemorates the Battle of Grunwald, a decisive defeat of the Teutonic Order in 1410.

Raised on its grand plinth it is one of the most prominently-sited and impressive of twenty-nine sculptures located in the park.
Golden Liberty Golden Liberty (Latin: "Aurea Libertas" ; Polish: "Złota Wolność" , Lithuanian: "Auksinė laisvė" ), sometimes referred to as Golden Freedoms, Nobles' Democracy or Nobles' Commonwealth (Polish: "Rzeczpospolita Szlachecka" or "Złota wolność szlachecka", Latin: "aureă lībertās" ) was a unique political system in the Kingdom of Poland and, after the Union of Lublin (1569), in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Under that system, all nobles ("szlachta"), regardless of rank or economic status, were considered to have equal legal status and enjoyed extensive legal rights and privileges. The nobility controlled the legislature (the "Sejm" — the Polish parliament) and the Commonwealth's elected king.
