Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the process of educating the future ruler shown in two humanistc pedagogical treatises. The first of them, De institutione regii pueri (1502/1503), was probably inspired by Elżbieta Rakuszanka, who was awaiting the birth of the firstborn child of her son Władysław Jagiellończyk. The treaty is a practical approach to educating the future ruler in terms of expected values, attitudes and behavior. In contrast, Institutio principis christiani (1516), by Erasmus of Rotterdam, was written for Prince Charles Habsburg, the future spanish king and emperor. His work shows the vision of an ideal christian ruler, difficult to achieve in reality.
